So great! My dogs had the best time and they loved their pup cups. Such a great addition to our hour adventure! Thank you for providing such a great sniff spot!

We had a fantastic time!! Lots of space with both sun and shade, comfortable seating, beautiful place. We got a big kick out of the kiddie pool too - a great way for the dogs to cool off, and for us to dip our toes.

This was a wonderful yard for our pup! They even customized a happy birthday sign for our dog and put out water with ice for us to refill her bowl from. We also purchased the popsicle package which was great since it was such a hot day - for us and our dog. I would definitely go back again!

Great spot! The only thing I would change would be some sort of sign on the fence or by the mailbox that says sniffspot.

This is our dogs' favorite Sniffspot. It's always clean with fresh water available and has lots of room to run/nooks to sniff. The high fences are great and there are comfy spots for humans to sit.

Hannah’s yard was so beautiful. Delivered as promised as it looked it the photos and was securely fenced all around. My pups had so much fun running and sniffing they wore themselves out and could barely stay the full hour! She also left out water for them which they very much appreciated!

FAQ about our Shelton 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?
