55The yard is huge! My pups had such a great time. Fencing is perfect with no way for them to escape. Host was very nice and accommodating. There was fresh water, hand sanitizer and waste bags available. I was skeptical about the size at first because I live in the area and couldn’t comprehend how big the yard could be. Definitely a new fav spot. Will visit again soon! Megan M.

55This a terrific spot!! I visited on a warm Sunday afternoon in early spring, and it was clean and well kept. The yard is very large, and surrounded by other residential yards and we did not have any other pets or people outside near us. My two dogs loved exploring and smelling every inch of the yard. The host was kind and left out a filled waterfowl, poop bags, and some other supplies out on the back yard table. Kathy L.

55Host was most accommodating to my schedule and had great communication. This was a very fun spot for my pup. I would be concerned that a small dog would be able to escape some of the areas such as two of the corners and would be able to get under a wooden structure on the property. The wooden structure was an exciting extra sniffing opportunity for my dog since she was too big to fit underneath and get inside.cynthia U.

55We had a great time at our first Sniffspot experience! My dog had a bark-fest with the behind neighbor dog through the fence, but that owner was gracious and the dogs gave up pretty quickly. My dog had a great time sniffing and running around in the huge yard, and I enjoyed a comfy seat to lounge on. There was some standing water at the back, which my dog loved, so that's not a negative in my book- comes with the territory depending on the weather. We had a great time! My interactions with the owner were friendly and welcoming.Kristen F.

55Aaaaah. So clean for a Michigan March! My dog doesn’t like getting his feet wet but most Dobermans don’t. Fencing was secure for my big dog. Sat and had my coffee while he patrolled for squirrels. Cynthia H.

55Nice sized spot in the city. Dogs had a good time. Fence is secure . Saw a couple neighbor dogs kitty corner and down one but they didn't fuss too long. Clear instructions. A few poop piles and a bit of litter I went through and picked up beforehand but not a dealbreaker Bridget T.

55Aimee’s yard is exactly as she says it is. It is clean and stocked with balls and stuffies, poop bags and water. It isn’t huge, but it was big enough for my dogs to do some ball chasing and run around. We will visit again.Nancy K.

55This was our first Sniffspot and we had a great experience!! My girl Clementine had a blast and wiped herself out in the first 20 minutes running around at full speed! We didn’t see any dogs but heard one from a distance as it’s in a neighborhood, but that was totally expected and not an issue. My dog had lots to sniff and no interactions with other animals. We brought our own toys and water bowl for our picky girl but the host had toys, water, and poop bags out for us! Like the host mentions, it’s a smaller yard, but was still plenty room to wipe out my pibble. No issues with her being able to get under the fence or anything, she did try to peek under though. We also kept her harness on afraid she might not wanna leave 😅Rose J.

FAQ About Royal Oak 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.
