55Our dog River had a blast running around and was amazed at the horses and cows outside of the fence. Lots of room to run and lots of smells! We will definitely be back! Shannon G.

55This is such a wonderful spot! Everything is fenced so the dogs can't get out. Such a nice big area for the dogs to run their little hearts out. There is a trash can, bags to clean up after your dogs, and a water bowl. My dogs had the BEST time and we will definitely be returning very soon! Jamie H.

55This is a great piece of property to bring your dog. It's a huge fenced yard. You're in a quiet place, so there aren't any distractions for your dog. Make sure you bring a lawn chair to sit on. Michelle J.

55Was nervous about getting there due to some reviews stating they got lost but didn't have any issues using the GPS! Pretty easy to find just looked for a red barn. It was very spacious for my dog to explore and run around we really appreciated that. There's a sign on the gate that says Sniffspot to let you know you're at the right backyard. I was afraid to mistakenly enter someone else's property so I did appreciate that reassurance! Ashley H.

55Excellent spot! I wanted a spot to take my dogs to provide stimulation. One of them is blind/deaf and he did great maneuvering around. I stayed close just for any obstacles that may be too challenging. I kept my other dog on a long rope for a few reasons: On a good day his legs are 2.5 inches long, he has a lot of beagle in him, and he’s deaf. I know him enough that if he gets a scent he will do everything he can to follow it and I didn’t want to take chances that he’d maneuver himself through a small opening (there are a few spots that his persistent escape artist side may have been able to wrangle under into another pasture). I kept a leash and rope on him because I know him, but he still had the time of his life and sniffed almost every corner and blade of grass. I’d recommend this spot to anyone!Melissa B.

FAQ about our Dover 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 Dover 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 157 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 24 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.
