55We have visited a lot of Sniffspots across NC and this is hands down one of our absolute favorites! Communication was a breeze and the owners are so welcoming. Our 1 year old pup had a great time sniffing and exploring. They have so many toys to play with…everything was sanitized and the yard was spotless. Best part is all the extras - we added on the treat scavenger hunt and our pup was delighted. We will definitely be stopping by this spot again on our way from Raleigh to Asheville!Stacy B.

FAQ about our Linwood 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.
