55My dog and I had a nice experience there. Could choose from 2 different fenced in areas. One of them is the backyard where you can sit in the shade.. The other is a very large piece of fenced-in land behind the house, with a chicken coop. It was a bit muddy in the back part but I wore old sneakers and it did not affect the fun we had. I will be coming back! Oh and I brought my own poop bags, but there is a scooper and bucket for your use.Cecilia H.

55Fantastic spot! There is 1 acre that is fenced, connected to the home which is nicely shaded. The back 3 acres also house a chicken coop, which my girl thought was interesting but left the chickens alone. We will definitely be back! Katy M.

55What a fantastic space! My dog and I are visiting a friend, but she doesn’t have a yard. We found this spot and it is quite a gem! My dog had a great time sniffing and running and even meeting the resident dog (with prior communication, of course!)Anita S.

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. 97% 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 306 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 22 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.
