55Perfect, as usual. In the year or two that I’ve consistently visited this spot, it has ALWAYS been so on point. There is nothing like this in the twin cities. Though my drive is 30ish minutes, it’s always worth it to visit. My dogs love it. It’s the perfect blend of open fetch space and woodsy nooks to play hide and seek with my dogs. I’ve also had numerous experiences where I’ve had to last-minute reschedule, and they are always so understanding and amenable. The area is always quiet. The only thing my dogs have tried to chase is a flying flock of geese. Verified secured fence. Private. Honestly I love Gary and Stacy. Tina M.

55One of the many things I love about this Sniffspot is that it's separate from the main property. I would feel awkward if I was in someone's backyard. That's just me. Kris M.

55We had a great time, my dog is a bit reactive right now so your place was perfect for him to release some energy and do some training. We will be back.
Thank you for all the amenities and thoughtful extras such as hand sanitizer and paper towels. Mary V.

55Clear instructions/guidelines & parking. Seemed very private. It was easy to walk the inside of the perimeter to check the fencing and the gates upon arrival. I liked the trails and wooded sections as opposed to an open field, I think it makes the space feel so much bigger. Also makes for more things to sniff and explore!Rob R.

FAQ About Dayton 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.
