55Such a beautiful property! Our dogs spent the entire time running and finding new smells. Lots of toy options too; our chewer was happy with the many bone options while our sprinter was happy with chasing the tennis balls. Will definitely be back:)Emily F.

55Mokie, my reactive boy, and I visited Cyndie's spot on Sat, Nov 4. There was a basket of toys, water, and a big Milkbone treat for my boy. We had so much fun...it is a nice sized area, high privacy fence...and such a treat to let him fly around without having to be on the lookout for other dogs! Def recommend! Kim H.

55This is such a great and well thought-out Sniffspot! The space itself is large and has really nice tall privacy fencing all around. There are lots of considerate touches, like clear signage, toys, treats, and a photo area if desired, and the host was very friendly and quick to respond to the question I had prior to our Sniffspot. Would definitely recommend this spot to anyone!Emily R.

55We visited in the snow today and my dogs had a great time! There was a small area that was shoveled where they could give their toes a break from the snow, and the sidewalk was clear. But mostly they loved running and jumping through (and losing toys in) the snow. We will definitely be back for another day of playing in the snow!Karen G.

55The yard and entry is absolutely beautiful and perfect to hangout with your dog(s)!
The property is easy to locate as well as the Sniffspot entrance. The driveway/parking area is very thoughtfully laid out and signed.
The yard itself is very large and beautifully kept. The Sniffspot touches were super cute and thoughtful! There is plenty of room to let your dog(s) run around and sniff, as well as play fetch. A bonus of this spot is the beautiful seating area! The spot also provided fresh water/water bowl for the pups and a basket full of toys to use.
We cannot wait to visit again!Jennifer P.

55My dog and I both enjoyed this beautiful yard! There were plenty of toys to play with including frisbees, balls, chew toys, and things that squeak. Cyndie also had a fresh bowl of cold water, a milkbone, and a personalized note ready for us when we arrived. The Sniffspot was easy to find and was clean and well-kept. Lots of mature trees for shade on a sunny day and a privacy fence around the whole perimeter of the yard. Bonus was the patio furniture for humans!Nicole G.

FAQ about our Howard City 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Howard City 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 130 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 12 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.
