55Great, wide open space. A small road does cut through part of the property. We were there for 2 hours and only saw 3 cars, but something to consider before letting your dog off leash if you don’t have solid recall skills.Whitney M.

55Such a beautiful Sniffspot! There is plenty of vast, open farmland with some water features and brush that isn’t too thick to keep the dogs from exploring in. We only made it through a fraction of a property in the hour we were there and will certainly be back!Lieselotte E.

55Had the pleasure of meeting Annie. She was so nice and accommodating. Very happy to share her space with me and my pup, Ouzo! My pup is aloof to strangers and other dogs so this was perfect for him to run around and enjoy! We will be back again!Christine S.

55What a beautiful location for peace and quiet! There’s so much to explore and see and the description of the location is exactly what you’re going to enjoy. There’s really nothing like wide open farm land - my dogs had the best of times.
Annie and Casey are so nice and if you need to speak with them about anything specific definitely reach out as they were so helpful for my dogs and I!
We will surely be back 🖤Erica L.

55Love this property! Just note, corn is planted so, dress accordingly to walk rows and go to the perimeter of the crop for easy to walk areas. Our dogs had the best time playing in the small wooded areas and running through the butterflies and corn rows! Jonathan H.

55We had an incredible time here! Our pup is uncomfortable around strangers and other dogs. We saw a few people at the house on the property but they kept to themselves and were very far away - she didn't even notice! She had a great time romping through the fields and it was so relaxing to not have to worry about triggers and just let her be a dog. Michelle R.

FAQ About Hanover 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.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 14% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Hanover area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 194 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
