55We had an amazing time here! The hosts really made this a special place! There’s a table with fresh water/bowls, flowers, treats, toys, and even had bandanas for both my dogs! Water on the trail too, bench, chairs, and a kiddy pool! The pool was perfect for a hot day like today, but there’s tons of shade too on the trails! Will definitely be back! Shannon L.

55Clean, easy to find, good size area with a sweet little shelter for humans. We had a blast and will definitely be back!
The goats climbing their tower to watch us was the highlight of our visit. There is no access to the goats via a fence. They are safely on the other side of a 6' wooden privacy fence. Aubrey H.

55This is a GREAT SPOT! It’s large enough to wear your dog out with a Chuck It, has a covered area with chairs for people to sit if needed, toys, convenient parking and access to the entrance, and GOATS! If one chooses to, you can open the windows in the fence and introduce your dogs to them, separated by a wire screen, or if not, you can slide the windows closed. Also, there are animal crackers at the entrance, before going into the spot, to treat the goats if you wish. For an agile dog, there is also a goat fort that your pup can climb up into. This place has a fun, chill vibe. And as a bonus there are sheep and a horse across the field at the back neighbors house you can take a gander at while strolling the property. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Sandy A.

55We are staying in a hotel that has NO area for the pups to walk. They were so happy to get the leashes off and just run. One of my girls doesn't like to do her business when on a leash. When she arrived, it was almost immediate. Thank you again 💓 oh and my granddaughter said you should build human toys too!!!Rhonda A.

55A group of friends and our 10 dogs met here. It was awesome. Parking was a breeze and appreciated the double entry. Plenty of room and the dogs loved the constant fresh water. Also appreciated the shaded areas. We'll be back.Jean W.

55This was our first visit, but will not be our last! It was very well supplied with water, comfortable chairs to sit in, lots of toys and balls for the dogs, and even some friendly goats next-door. We live in town with a small yard and three dogs and this was absolutely perfect for our needs.thank you so much for providing this great space!Micharl M.

55Nice wide open space for the dogs to run. Covered shelter with chairs, dog bowls, running water, toys… my pups were flummoxed by the goats (what is that?!? lol), and a couple pastures over someone was working with dogs rounding up sheep. It was a a great way for my reactive dogs to practice feeling safe around distractions. They settled in and really ran down their batteries. We’ll be back!Janet A.

55We loved visiting this SniffSpot location! Our girls are reactive to other dogs and we were a little nervous about them with farm animals being seen or heard. But, this ended up being a perfect location for them to see other dogs at a far away distance and be exposed to farm animals at a safe distance while practicing recall :) Just a few barks but a fantastic time! Will absolutely be back!Natalie C.

FAQ about our South Bend fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in South Bend?
There are 16 fully fenced dog parks in the South Bend area. The most popular fully fenced park is . You can browse all of our fully fenced dog parks here.
How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
