55There were no gaps in the fence and I felt very safe letting my smaller dog run around. Cheryl had also left some toys out for us to use as well and my dog Leo loved it! We look forward to going back again in the future.Stephanie G.

55Clean, peaceful, plenty of room for multiple dogs to lay together and also do their own thing. My dogs were so greatful to be allowed to dig! Owner of the property did not bother us, but we wouldn't have minded either if they had come outside. Will be coming back again.Ellen M.

FAQ About Dowagiac 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.
