55The backyard is a calm and quiet oasis except for my two monkeys chasing each other around and around! They had so much fun and stopped several times to enjoy the cold water left by Dave. I sat in the shade and got to watch my two have fun!Rory R.

55We had such a great time here! My pups loved it. They were able to run around and smell everything off leash - while being super safe with a secure 6-foot fence! Plus, the hosts were super nice. We highly recommend & we'll be back :) Juliette F.

55Dave’s fenced yard is unbelievable. Your dog will be able to run and play and explore—it’s well manicured and huge—while you sit and relax in the shade. We drove out there from nyc and will do it again when we are back this way with our girl. Truly exceptional spot and Dave is a wonderful host. Piama G.

55We had an amazing time at this Sniffspot! The space was clean, well-maintained, and perfect for our dog to run and play freely. Dave, the host, was incredibly helpful and friendly, making sure everything was set up for a great visit. Our dog had a blast, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there as well. We’re definitely planning on coming back and will be signing up for a membership if it’s available. Highly recommend!Mariana M.

FAQ about our Montclair 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.
