55My dog had such a great time here! There are no other dogs around so great for reactive dogs! There was one opening on the bottom of the fence post where very small dogs could slip out but thing a big dog could get through! Leanna J.

55If you read comments about the fence handle being difficult to open, they replaced it! So it’s easy to open now!
Also, because the yard is right next to a wooded area (which is beautiful) it can get a little buggy. The host leaves out bug spray, which is great, but make sure your dog is up to date on flea/tick (which is actually required by Sniffspot). Awesome spot. Evan T.

55We probably picked the worst day to visit because it was about 95 degrees outside with a heat advisory. But Dash still enjoyed his visit, even though he wasn't as playful as usual because of the heat. He really enjoyed getting in the kiddie pool to soak his feet and belly. (We didn't fill it very full—just enough for him to lie die and cool off.) The backyard has beautiful shade trees, and there are lots of toys and bones scattered throughout the yard for dogs to discover. Overall, it's a nice, quiet place to let your dog explore, play, and just relax.Tina F.

FAQ about our Columbia 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Columbia 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 30 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 2 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.
