55The backyard was big and beautiful! There were doggy bags and a trash can readily available. Chairs were set up for us when we got there. No other dogs present. The host went the extra mile and created a little sign that said Happy Birthday to our dog, which we loved. Definitely recommend! Shelby B.

55After browsing several Sniffspots in the area, we picked this spot for its reasonable price and scenery. This location did not disappoint! The yard is very large and well kept. My dogs had plenty of room to run and the owners were very accommodating. They provided us with chairs, trash bags, toys, a water bowl, and a clean towel. They even wished my girl happy birthday! One thing to note is that the grass under the tree (this is also where the entrance is) is a bit spotty due to the grass not tolerating shade very well. The owner mentioned that this area tends to get muddy after it rains. The owner does provide a towel in case you need to wipe off any muddy paws. Fortunately, we did not encounter any mud, but it is something to consider if you decide to book this place. Also, the owners do have a dog inside, and the neighbors have a dog as well. We heard the dog inside bark once or twice and the neighbor a few times. It wasn’t very bothersome, and I have a pretty reactive dog. All in all, this seems to be the best sniffspot in the area for the price and amenities. We look forward to coming back!

55This Sniffspot was suitable for our needs and I'm glad it was available last minute! Leslie messaged me after booking to let me know that the grass wasn't as nice as the pictures due to the summer heat which we didn't mind. We didn't see or hear any neighbor dogs but there were a handful of dogs that walked past along the rock wall which is their back "fence". I wouldn't recommend this place for a highly reactive dog since it's pretty easy to see them with the way the yard is situated below the rock wall and sometimes they walk slowly past. I was slightly worried our dog would somehow find a way to scale the wall but I'm sure that's impossible ha.Maddie P.

55Plenty of room for my girl to run and sniff! Interesting yard with lots of trees and plants and water features. I like the vinyl fence so dogs can’t see each other. Lots of places to sit.Cindy F.

55We loved Stephanie’s place!! The baby pool was a must have - so glad it was there for our pup! It was filled up with fresh water upon arrival. Good sized yard to throw the ball in and chase your dog around. We put our stuff on the picnic table in the shade under the umbrella - kept it out of the sun. Will definitely come back! Lauren D.

55This was the perfect spot for my anxious pup! Plenty of room to run and play without the stress of a dog park. Stephanie provided a water bowl and helped to combat the heat with a fan and plenty of shade too. We’ll definitely be back! null n.

FAQ about our Niederwald 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Niederwald 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 205 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 28 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.
