55Loved it! Took my three dogs and I felt really confident that they were safe and happy there. There’s outdoor furniture to relax on while the dogs explore, wide open spaces for the dogs, indoor couches for dogs and humans, water for the dogs, and access is straightforward. An hour flew by and my dogs are exhausted and content. I’ll be back! Helen P.

Donna's 3 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Pohangina | Sniffspot
55Donna’s sniff spot, named after her sweet dog Toscar, is such a great spot! Our dogs had the best time ever- zooming around without fear of other dogs and sniffed around the whole area! They were well puffed out, tails wagging and tongues out all the way home. Would definitely visit again. Donna is a lovely host, she also came around to see the boys and talk with us. 10/10 recommend. May K.

55Fantastic spot! Fully fenced so you can relax and let your dog run free. Different slopes and plantings for your dog to bound around. Depending on amount of rain but a great muddy water hole for the dogs to play in. Our Shepherd loved this part especially. Very well set up with dog toys and a hose so you can hose off you dog before exiting. Nicola C.

55I went to the park with Luna and my daughter and grand daughter. We all enjoyed being there. Clean water provided and there were some Dog Toys which was great because I had forgotten to take ours. Luna could smell and run and chase balls freely. She also ran up and down the fence line with two other dogs who were being walked by their owners which might not have been good for all dogs. I plan on returning in the near future.Trisha A.

55Such a great spot to visit and my two had so much fun! Especially loved the hilly terrain and exploring the long grass and bushes in the corner. We were even joined by two sweet Labs from up the road for a bit of extra fun too! Thanks for an awesome visit! Augusta G.

55Fantastic spot to be able to let our two reactive dogs run freely. Lots of space for our high energy girl to get up plenty of speed running and lots to sniff and explore for our older boy. Could not wish for a better space! Jade W.

55This place is awesome!! It was so great to take the dogs somewhere that we could relax knowing other distractions/dogs were not going to be a factor for our slightly reactive dog. The dogs loved sniffing about and playing fetch and we enjoyed the peace and sunshine in a beautiful spotFran B.

FAQ about our Pohangina 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.
