55This is a lovely property in a country setting with lots of room for our dogs to run and was completely fenced in for safety. We did book a splash pad as an extra and one of our dogs went crazy for it. They left a bowl of water for the dogs and not only was it clean they even thoughtfully added ice to it. I would highly recommend this spot for your pups to sniff.Christine B.

55Wonderful open space for my reactive apartment dog to run and sniff! Hosts have thought of everything including water bowl, toys, poop bags, hose, bug spray, chairs, and fully fenced in acreage. Communication was great. Directions for entering the gate were easy to follow. My pup has a great time running and sniffing. He was curious about the chickens, but they were safely contained. We will definitely be back again!!Lin P.

55Absolutely obsessed with this spot! The hosts were super friendly & inviting. They provided so many helpful items from water dishes & dog toys to sunscreen & bug spray. The space was huge and our pups loved it. They were able to burn so much energy here & explore so much. They even got to see chickens for the first time (which were contained for everyone's safety) which they were pretty curious about. All around 5 star experience. We will definitely be back! Ash H.

55My three dogs and I enjoyed the open space and the security of the fence around this beautiful property. It was a nice touch to have supplies on the front porch. Directions for entering were clear. It was a very positive experience and we’ll likely return. Thank you to the hosts! Joyce I.

55Josie was such a great host! She made sure that there was water and toys for my 4mo lab/pit puppy. He was sooooooooo excited and happy to run around free. The yard is well kept and the location is pretty quiet (even spotted some ducks in the little pond next to the fence). We got some running, training, and relaxing all done in 30min. Will book again! Definitely beyond worth the price!! Thankful for it being so affordable.Jessica T.

55Josie’s spot is amazing! It has a ton of space for your dog or dogs to run around and it also has a lot of shade! Which was great for our early morning outing since our dogs breed overheats quickly. She responded to my messages in a timely manner while there! There was also a water for the dog and poop bags with a bucket to put it in as well! I would definitely recommend this place and would visit again.
Bruno: OMG this place has SOOOO MUCH SPACE FOR ACTIVITIES!!! I really enjoyed it and I also really liked the the nice plush grass that I could lay down in when I needed a break. Tyler K.

FAQ about our Portage 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Portage 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 165 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 19 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.
