55This is a pasture, lots of open space for running and smelling but there is shade curly oaks around the edges of pasture. For the pups a good clean pond for slashing and swimming. I’m hoping my dog will learn to really swim with his feet off the ground. It’s become the favorite spot. Eleanor M.

55My baby loves Curlys..When we get there, I open the car door and out flies Cooper. He lands already running. He goes down to the pond and runs around it again and again. I love this pasture, the sun the breeze and a very happy boy. We’re safe with a good fence no other animals and a large space for fun.Eleanor M.

FAQ About Sarasota 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.
