55Anel’s backyard was perfect for my pup! We don’t have a fenced in yard so she was able to run around and sniff where ever she wanted! Everything Anel listed was there and her yard was very clean! I highly recommend this Sniffspot to anyone in the area! Emily H.

55Great space. Atlas loved running around. The shade was amazing because when he was tired about 10 minutes in he became lazy and laid right in it. The yard was clean and everything so easy to maneuver Briana H.

55This was such a great Sniffspot! The yard is huge and my dog had a great time sniffing around. It was so nice to have the toys already there. We didn't hear any dogs in neighboring yards, which was very nice for my reactive dog. We will certainly be coming again! Alex D.

55Very secure fence, well maintained yard, and so much space for my pup to run. Water bowl available and filled, chuck-it balls with a thrower, several other toys, and places for me to sit. Poop bags are also available with a garbage nearby. They’ve thought of everything! Will absolutely be back again, my pup thoroughly enjoyed himself. Katrina H.

55We loved this spot being so convenient to where we're visiting. Solid fence, relatively quiet so my reactive dog actually focused on running around instead of flipping out over other dogs, definitely a great yard if your dog loves to play fetch (with a stock of balls to match). We'll definitely be backAlison M.

55This was my first time using Sniffspot and I can not believe I have not heard of this sooner!!! Anne's place was perfect. I wish you could do 30 minutes instead as my dog is a Frenchie and there's no way he's going to play for an hour before having a heatstroke LOL. But he was ready to go within 10 minutes. I understand that probably wouldn't really be worth it though. I will definitely be bringing him again! Their yard is huge and they have all kinds of tennis balls and toysEmilee C.

FAQ about our Portsmouth 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Portsmouth 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 230 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 13 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.
