The owner was communicative, helpful and friendly. They even had a huge bowl of water out for him! We will be back!Amelia H.

55This spot was the best! Ashly and Sheila were so sweet and accommodating and really went out of their way to make the day special for our family. My elderly dog was recently diagnosed with cancer and an agility course was on the bucket list I made her. This was the perfect spot for that, and Ashly and Sheila really went extra miles, from a welcome sign with her name and balloons to a special souvenir. Their compassion and love for dogs was really clear, and they were so sweet with my dog, and with our whole family. We did the polaroid pics add on and they came out great- Ashlys a really good photographer and she and Sheila were great at getting my dog to pose. I'm going to treasure this afternoon forever, and I hope we'll have a chance to go back. Highly recommend.
Ps we brought my elementary school age nephew and they were really great with him too, they totally get the bond between dogs and their families, including kidsNechama M.

FAQ About Johnston 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.
