55So easy to have such a great time! A great setup to play fetch or try out some new toys. I was relieved to find a place for my dogs to safely explore off-leash while we are traveling. Thank you!Carrie S.

55Rain or shine I promised Jewel we'd play ball, so we both dawned our rain jackets and headed to Pawsitive Connections. Despite the light rain, it was a fun visit for her. She enjoyed playing fetch and while she is fine at the park, I like giving her the extra reassurance that she can chase her ball without having to keep an eye peeled for other dogs. When she's tired she enjoys walking the worn trail around the parameter, sniffing and carrying her ball. She also has the option to take a break in the dry, covered area next to the metal building.Shanti K.

55Fence seemed very secure and puppies had loads of fun! They wore themselves out running up and down the hill and playing in the mud. There was plenty of dry ground for the humans to walk on though, and lots of seating dispersed around the area.Claire G.

55A perfect place to bring your dog(s) and youself. Great places to run, fun activity options (running, sniffing, agility, being a dog, etc), and a great place for us humans to sit and relax. Can't imagine anything that would make this amazing spot more welcoming and enjoyable. Thank you Stephanie!Susan L.

55Wonderful area to bring your pet and let them play with no fear of other dogs. Very well kept area, very large & includes toys & obstacles. Clancy loves coming here & would be even more fun with a pet buddy to run & chase.Vicki C.

55Stephanie's acreage was nicely secured by fencing that hadn't aged, remains securely erect and there wasn't any stretch or spot where it was inferior to the rest of the fencing. The land was easy for my dogs to run straight across and had no bumps or holes to trip in. It was such a comfortable environment and only about a 6 or 7 minute drive north of Trader Joe's on Division so it's really easy to get to from my area in Downriver. Her space is so far superior to my 1500 ft backyard that my two dogs became very excited to chase the ball and chase each other around and spend 20 minutes or so sniffing around.
They slept for 2 hours once we got back home. They were completely satisfied.
If my schedule allows it I will be making the trip at least once a week.Scott D.

55This spot is very clean, and has an excellent play area for the pups. Easy access to the sniff spot, with a covered entry space that has plenty of toys, treats and water as the dogs need a break. Very quiet area and safe for dogs.Mary N.

55My pups have a blast here every time. I have one who loves to play fetch and another who enjoy is the obstacle course. I am finding an hour isn’t enough time for them. Brandon K.

FAQ about our Elk 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. 98% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Elk 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 62 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 5 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.
