55My dog and I made our first visit to a 'sniff spot' today and we are happy to give this concept and location an A++/5 star rating. The website and app are very easy to use. Host communication was excellent and very prompt. I drove about 20 miles from home to access this site....it was easy to find yet far enough off of the main road to be fairly quiet. The double set of gates and fencing were in great shape and secure. The height of the fencing was also favorable....I suspect it would give most canine escape artists a second thought. :o) We used the fenced area to the west of the training building....grassy yet level and (yay) 100% CLEAN! There was more than enough space for my 95# dog to run top speed and also retrieve some balls. It was quite warm and sunny today.....this location does lack trees or shade in the fenced area we used but the parking spaces were very close so I just took the dog back to my car to cool off as needed. I will definitely be back and appreciated the opportunity to try out this fantastic location today! Marjorie D.

55Had a wonderful time here. Dogs were secured in their 100% fenced area. The entrance gate does have a very small gap at the bottom if you have an escape artist or 10 lb dog or smaller. I have two small breeds, but they were having such a great time they never considered that gap.
The vet clinic is far enough away from the field that my reactive pup was not triggered. Nice flat green space, well manicured. We will definitely be back. May want to bring a lawn chair if you don't want to stand the entire time. So happy to have found this gem of a spot. Wish their Fenton location had something similar 😃 Misty M.

55Great spot! Easy to find. Both dogs had a blast sniffing, chasing, and one was brave enough to go thru the agility tunnel. Definitely time well spent and now both pups are happily napping after their big adventure :-)Patricia R.

55Fully fenced and lots of room to run. No seating so bring your own chair if you want. There's two separate gated areas so you can choose if you want to use one or both areas. Our dogs had an absolute blast running the 2 acres. One thing to consider, there was some sort of missed communication between sniffspot and the host and they didn't know we were coming and were using the field for training. They suggested contacting them directly to schedule the field, which we will definitely be doing in the future. Rebecca K.

55Although they were training dogs outside in the parking lot while we were there, they stayed far away and the area was secluded. My dog is reactive and he was able to stay calm the entire visit and just enjoyed running around and playing. The area was clean and there were toys left out to play with which was a nice surprise. It was a great spot and we will definitely be returning. Lydia B.

55Great spot for stretching the legs and working with minimal distractions! Very clean yard, well-maintained fence and gates, waste removal supplies readily available.
Easy to find, close to expressway and main roads, full service gas station across the street. Paved driveway and parking areas were cleared of snow and ice. Autumn B.

55Nice fenced area. There were no signs that I could find, but I was directed to a fenced area on one side of the huge fenced property. The play area: 3 sides are 6+ ft chain link, forth is welded wire, gate had a bit of a gap, no problem for my beefcake, but smaller animals could walk through (they would still be in the chain link area though). My dog loved playing in the snow and really stretching her legs. We will be back. Tonya W.

55Great spot!! I wasn't sure where to go at first, but there's a fence/gate to the left of the building, then another gate into the field. There were some people and dogs around right as we were arriving but by the time we were in the field everyone had left. Nice big open space, our dog loved itElsie L.

FAQ about our Fenton 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 Fenton 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 577 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 39 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.
