55This was bloody fantastic- my two super anxious mini schnauzers had an absolute blast! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, they were so excited and happy to have a space they could roam. We tossed toys, we ran with them, we encountered a lovely horse that was grazing in a nearby paddock. Itโs just such a great idea!
We will be back every weekend! Highly recommend it! There were some toys to toss, but you could bring your own too! Dave J.

55Very nice, our very small dog would fit through the fence so he stayed on the leash(he is very small) but the other dog loved it. The only drawback was, we were concerned we were letting the dogs out in the wrong area. Possibly could do with a small sign to show we were in the right place maybe. Connull L.

55We really enjoyed this beautiful private spot to let our dogs run free ...there was no stress as there can be when walking them..it is completely safe and secure here and we will be back! Only suggestion is (as someone else also mentioned) is to have an actual sign by the cattle stop saying "Kent's Dog park" Thank you.Have a video but cant upload it...Cathy C.

55Really well fenced place that offers everything you could hope for - running space with shorter grass - longer grass and rocks to explore. Dog toys and water bowl - and the little rain pond was full when we were there (ankle to knee deep ish). Top notch spot. The signage on the fence โThe Dog Farmโ makes it clear you are in the right spot. Sal W.

55Fabulous spot! Our dogs had an absolute blast in this idyllic spot! Felt like being on holiday with the dogs! They splashed in the creek and ran so much! It was so interesting that the two besties almost didn't play with each other for the first half hour because they were so into exploring the wonders! :) Rachael H.

55Ron's private Dog Park was the absolute best experience for my dogs! We loved it! The different terrain, stream, long grass, sticks..... Our dogs could hardly contain their excitement! We would love to bring our dogs their regularly after the amazing day we had there. My dogs arrived not familiar with livestock nor farms so we started out super cautious but the animal smells kept them full alert and then nature set in and off they went! My beautiful anxious and reactive girl had the time of her life with her pup in tow.
Thank you THANK YOU for allowing us to share in your slice of heaven xoShar R.

55Blue and I had an absolute blast living out his rural dreams. He beelined straight for the water for a quick sploot and sip before methodically checking out what was on offer. He loved sniffing and running and trying to enlist me in a game of river chase that I wasn't too keen on. We'll definitely be back, thanks! Kendra H.

55A great, secure, scenic spot for our two dogs (working-breeds) to enjoy. They had a great time running around off lead and exploring all that was to be explored.
Before I released them, we herded a mother duck and 7-8 of her ducklings out of the creek and into a paddock behind the fence, or else there may have been a bit of a mess with (one of) our dogs' instinctive prey drive. A superb spot with a great layout - will definitely book again.Euan L.

55Can not say how happy I/we are to have discovered this gem! My elderly Shizu is pretty deaf and young Mastiff x is also deaf (selected hearing), so I usually have to walk them separately as it's a struggle together and I am finding Dog Park's increasingly challenging. This morning was like a slice of heaven for all three of us....free to enjoy the beautiful area you have provided. Thanks so much, you will see us often! ๐๐พ Deidre, Rupert and Bear Deidre S.

55We got to checkout the top of the hill today and it was a perfect training spot with my spaniel. Many bunny scents to track and attempts to flush them. The sheep were very unsure of us so we kept our distance from them. Definitely requires good shoes for the steep climb up. Great spot to stop and reflect. Abi C.

55Rural paradise on our back doorstep! Plenty of space to explore, paddle and sniff - our dogs LOVED this spot, and so did we! With an old rescue and a Greyhound who was recently attacked, this is just a haven and so so appreciated! The picnic tables are a lovely touch too. Thank you so much, weโll be back :)Mel P.

55The boys loved it! With the internal gate open, the boys had their very own race track to relive their racing days. It's such a great place for my two greyhounds who have very little recall and mainly on lead walks. They braved the creek to reach the hill on the other side and explored along the fence while largely ignoring the cow on the other side. The smells must have been good as the spent most of their time with their noses in the grass. We have already booked our next visit.Lee R.

FAQ about our Pohangina fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Pohangina?
There are 6 fully fenced dog parks in the Pohangina area. The most popular fully fenced park is . You can browse all of our fully fenced dog parks here.
How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
