55Nice fields - nice access to a river. A horse in the nearby field enjoyed watching my dogs train. We were traveling in the area and stopped in for a couple hours of retriever training. I had some good concepts to work on such as running 4 different slot blinds between some trees. Martha W.

55This was the coolest! The river was so fun and we felt totally secluded. A little tricky to find out where to go but Erik was quick to respond with help! Lindsey W.

55We visited Channon’s on a perfect summer morning. Our dogs loved exploring the fenced area and we also ventured to the trails. Because one of my boys is reactive, I don’t get to take him on trails with me. I was thrilled to be able to experience this with him without worrying about other dogs triggering a reaction from him. We can’t wait to come back, thank you for sharing your space with us!Debbie G.

55I can't emphasize enough how great the place and the host is. I have a very reactive dog that can be aggressive. Setting him up for success requires planning. She was very helpful in communicating all the details of the visit and the visit was beyond successful. My pup was so happy he had zoomies nonstop. Sydney K.

FAQ about our Lockbourne 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.
