Taylor's Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Charlotte | Sniffspot
55Taylor's space is huge! My dogs had a blast from the moment they entered. My own yard is small and the sniffing options are limited, but at Taylor's, they sniffed and ran and dug and sniffed some more. They took breaks in sunny spots and then one would get the others going. Like toddlers they fell asleep in the car on the ride home. Can't wait to come back! Martina B.

55Great, large open area for your dog to run! Ours wasn't as interested in playing ball this time, but still fun to be off-leash. Plus several water dishes.Joy L.

Quinten's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Charlotte | Sniffspot
55My 9 mo old mini dachshund puppy, Charlie, and I really enjoyed Quinten’s place. We used the front yard while we were there. Quinten was very communicative and we loved the turf, sprinklers, and kiddie pool. I can tell Quinten is still doing work to his yard but so far it’s great! Thank you, we will be back!Camille G.

55We had such a great time at Kate’s! The pups loved exploring the yard and playing. We attempted the pool but they were scared and didn’t get in. Hopefully in the next visits they will have more courage to take the plunge! They did enjoy running around the pool . Haha Highly recommend! We are looking forward to coming back !

55Took my dogs to use the pool now that it’s open and they loved it! Life vests for the dogs were provided and they were very helpful as my dogs have never swam in an open pool before. There were sizes for small dogs and two that were big enough to fit my large GSD’s. Towels and other small necessities were provided and we had a wonderful time as we usually do! This is our favorite sniff spot to use and we’ll continue to come here!Autumn N.

55We had such a fun time here! My little apartment dog loooved the chuck it and playing with her frisbee. There was a neighbor dog who saw us and barked a few times - no more than 5minutes and luckily Winter is curious but not reactive to that but some dogs might be!
Kate was always easy to reach and very communicative - this was our first sniff spot and we will definitely be back! Can’t wait to check out the pool later this summer :) Eva L.

55Kate responded to my inquiry within minutes. The yard was the perfect size for my two dogs to run around and get some exercise. I'm very pleased to have found a place I can take my dogs regularly!Kim L.

55First time seeing my 11 year old Boxer mix run! It was so exciting. She loved being off leash for one of her first times too. My 7 year old Dane has some neurological issues and having access to a large backyard definitely helped strengthen him up. They’re both pooped and we will definitely be back!Katey A.

FAQ about our Cornelius 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Cornelius 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 368 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 29 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
