55We had the absolute best time! Beautiful yard, a nice bowl of water , treats, poop bags & hand sanitizer..what more could 2 kooky mutts ask for. There were no dogs around on our visit so that made it even better. Clearly marked entrance and instructions communicated prior to our visit made it super easy to enjoy. I would 100% visit again and recommend it to anyone. We left with very tired dogs . Jenn S.

55Beautiful yard. Pups had a great time. It was a little hard for me to get to the back yard with limited mobility but I would definitely come back when my knee has healed up.Dorene H.

55Very large yard with lots of different areas to sniff (plants, rocks, grass, mulch, trees). The yard was very clean. There are squirrels which my malinois was VERY excited about. The neighbor pup came out at the end and came up to the fence so we left because my other pup doesn’t like other dogs but the dog wasn’t aggressive or anything, just watched. We knew it was likely ahead of time from listing but just mentioning it to keep an eye out if you have a reactive dog. Kate F.

55This was our first experience with SniffSpot, and it was amazing! The host messaged me ahead of time explaining everything, and was very kind, and thorough. She made me feel comfortable, and welcome coming to visit her yard. This yard was very clean, and spacious allowing my dog, Tynkerbell, to be able to run around freely. We spent 30 minutes here, and Tynkerbell loved running around by herself, getting energy out, playing with her toys, rolling in the grass, and having space to practice her training skills without other dogs around. I will definitely come back, and I would recommend this yard, and host!Kylie A.

55Awesome spot. Grass was soft and room to run and sniff. Host left out fresh water, and some random supplies like wipes and bug spray. Lots of places to sit in the shade. Joshua R.

55Owner was super responsive and accommodating. Good location, clean and well described in listing. One thing I’d possibly warn against is in the summer.. the property seems like a place where snakes would hide. There was tall grass that my dog liked to hop through and we had lots of fun. He smelled like flowers in the car on the way home. Jen L.

55Lots of room for them to sniff and run. The grass was getting tall, I would recommend wearing pants, the neighbor has a somewhat aggressive dog but there were plenty of places to sniff. Overall it was a great place!!! Julio P.

55Great location for my pack to explore and run. Easy access, accessible water, and not the abundance of stickers that typically exist in open space. Will definitely visit again soon.Melody G.

55This was a beautiful spot, but unfortunately not adequate for my dog and I. There are large gaps underneath the entrance fencing, as well as a couple other areas where a dog could escape. My dog isn't perfectly obedient in regards to recall, and got under the fence numerous times. The last time he ran towards the road by the parking entryway.
This is a great spot, but be wary if you're dog isn't bomb proof with recall, it's potentially dangerous. Unfortunately I won't be coming back unless the fencing is made to be more secure. I use these sniff spots to let my dog run and release a lot of energy and since he'd need to be on a leash to be secure in this one, it defeats the purpose. Hannah A.

55Great spot with a great host! Something to keep in mind for escape artists and dogs who may be a little too interested in farm animals: our husky (~40 lbs) stayed on her longline the entire time. She was able to fit under the fences to get back to the entrance by the farm animals, so the longline was necessary for her. She had an excellent time taking in all the smells and had just as much fun on her longline. Brenna H.

55We loved our sniff here! The dirt mounds were fun to play on. We heard/saw one dog near a small part of the fence line. The chickens were put away. Great spot! Maya N.

55I have a boarder reactive pup and he just had the best time here! I will say the lot isn’t that big if there were to be a dog running along the fence; it would just be hard to distract your dog. However, this place was so nice and the owner was very kind! I would come back here again!! My dog also loved the soft ground! Katherine L.

FAQ About Erie 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. 2% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Erie 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 304 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 415 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.
