55This backyard was perfect for our active but shy puppy. There was a large rectangular grassy area for him to run around and play fetch. It was also nice that there was a patio with a table, chairs, and umbrella so that we could cool down in the shade if needed. Christina S.

55So nice and so clean, it’s a really huge area and the parking is very convenient. They don’t provide toys or water so just make sure if your pup is a toy chaser that you bring them their little toys. And for the humans don’t forget your bug spray! So great would deff come here againDiana A.

55Took my 1 year old Golden there for the first time and she had such a blast!! I don’t have a big yard and the park next to me requires her to be on a leash which can be frustrating for her. I was so happy to see Mia run free in this well-kept area. We truly loved it!Guisela C.

55Big spacious yard, very clean. Nice spacious patio and chairs to sit in.
Note you could hear one of the dogs barking from inside the house so if your dog is super reactive it may not be the best fit but ours did fine after getting over their initial fright (they’re toy breeds at -7lbs so babies) and had fun playing and running around the yard. Elyse G.

55First time on SniffSpot- great experience. Very large yard. Used it for a play date for Golden Retriever and Corgi. Lots of space for them to play and chairs for the humans. Will be back. Thanks very much!Lee K.

55Great for reactive dogs! Tons of space to explore and roam. We didn’t see any neighbors or other dogs during our visit. Also, there is enough distance from the street to the yard gate to gauge whether or not you might run in to any people or dogs coming and going from you car. There’s a tap in the yard for easy access to water and a places to sit on the landscaped stone features and patio if you want to hang out and watch your dog enjoy his sniffs! Joohee S.

55Mili is so warm and welcoming. Her love of dogs is clear and her yard is just amazing! Even with just buds on the trees, you can tell that it's a good mix of sun and shade. Mili put out water, chairs, and toys. My Dober-boy and I had the BEST time playing fetch, training, and just lazing about, bird-watching. Yard is fully fenced with a TALL (about 6 ft) fence--my guy is a jumper, so this is important. We'll definitely be back!Ryan P.

55This spot was scenic, quiet, and filled with trees! It was large enough for my cattle dog to get a great workout. We had a fantastic time training and playing fetch. There was a water bowl handy as well as simple instructions to follow. Thank you, we will be back!Sari T.

55Hosts are super nice, left out chairs, water for the pup & a toy. Yard is beautiful and huge, probably bigger than most of the small dog parks that we've been to. My dog had a blast running around and sniffing the area. My dog is little (20 lbs.) and he will find any hole in a fence if there is one, but it's very secure here. Also very private, we didn't see any of their neighbors or neighborhood dogs, which was nice bc my dog is reactive and would just stand and bark instead of playing if we did.Amanda P.

55Pups had a blast this morning! Everything was as described and my shepherd had a blast running, chasing squirrels, being a dog. My elder dog trotted around and played some fetch, both loved watching the sheep complete with baby lambs wander a neighboring paddock. Yard was clean, slopes (my dogs love that) and safe. Owmers said hi from a distance. Gwen P.

55Perfect large yard for dogs. All fully fenced and a nice gradual slope to part of it that made it more interesting for the pups. My two enjoyed running around and Mili said hi and we chatted as we were leaving - she was lovely - so friendly! We'll definitely be back.Anne B.

FAQ about our Big Cove Tannery dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Big Cove Tannery area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 105 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 10 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
