55Unfortunately, we were not able to take advantage of our visit due to an emergency but we did get to see the yard and spend a few minutes there. The pups immediately took off running to enjoy and explore the space. I could tell they were going to have an amazing time. I hated that we had to leave but I look forward to visiting again soon. Nicole also offered the best welcoming communication and was a very kind and understanding host. Enid A.

55Absolutely loved this spot. It’s a great yard, and so clean! The yard was well kept and the host (Nicole) was wonderful. She left out snacks and water for us and the pup. There was a nice swinging chair to sit on and extra balls. We will 100% be back. Madison A.

55Nicole was wonderful. The yard was perfect. Clean and a beautiful glider with human and dog treats. We only stayed a short time as my little dog tired out quickly but I think she loved it. We definitely will return.Terry H.

55Had a rootin’ tootin’ time with my dog. Beautiful and perfectly sized yard to have some fun and also relax because it was pretty quiet and peaceful. We played and then I got to relax on the swing chair while my pup explored. I really appreciated all the supplies that were made available as well, as I forgot to replenish my own pet wipes - they had some out there! We will be back. Jo F.

55My three dogs loved this spot. It was particularly good for my reactive dog and his positive conditioning program to be able to hear the neighbors’ dogs in the distance but not be confronted by them. Also, the host was friendly and nice. We will return, for sure.L M.

FAQ about our Southfield small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
