Birkys Fully Fenced Private Play Yard For Dogs | Sniffspot
55Great sniffspot. Private, fully fenced. My apartment dog loves to be able to just run off leash and be a dog. He gets wiped out after 20 mins so we left early. But then he wants to play when we get home of course. He had to run around test the perimeter at first and then sniff everything. There's a path behind the trees that goes along the fence he was back there checking it out. He dropped his ball back there and forgot. When I told him to go find it he went back to the a different old spot looking around lol. He also acts like has never been outside and tries to poop like 5 times. We will stay longer next time.Brian Y.

55That was fun! This was our first time using Sniffspot, and it's such a cool thing. My city dog needed to run free and touch grass so badly.
When we first showed up, there were squirrels right at the gate that ran inside the Sniffspot. My dog couldn't believe his eyes, lol. Once inside, he had no interest in playing fetch for the first 15 minutes as he ran around and checked out every single inch of the yard.
We found a giant praying mantis that seemed to be watching us. Then, we played toss and chased each other around. It's a clean yard with a beautiful, tall, secure private outer fence covered with trees. Water is provided, although my dog only drinks out of his home bowl, and I forgot to bring treats.
One small thing is my dog kept wanting to go inside the small, non-Sniffspot area that seemed to be reserved for the homeowner's dogs. I guess could have moved the wheelbarrow or chair there for our visit to keep my dog away from that spot, but we are just guests, and I didn't want to impose. My dog kept running over there, and it's a small gate that I don't think would stop him if the homeowner's dogs were accidentally let out.
We will be back to sniff around. Thanks!Brian Y.

FAQ About Norwich 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.

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.
