55What a wonderful yard for an afternoon of freedom for our dog! Heather did such a great job of providing a totally fenced in, clean yard even having toys for the dogs, places to sit and easy access in & out! Don't be freaked out by the dirt road to her home...it is worth the dodging the potholes...I promise you! Thank you SO much...we will be back! Mari B.

55This was awesome! I have a reactive dog that can’t go to traditional dog parks, so this is perfect solution for him to get exercise and have some fun! Brooke M.

55Today was our first visit to Heather's Private Dog Park, and my dog loved it! From the moment we arrived, her nose was on the ground, and she spent the entire hour happily running around, sniffing and exploring every nook and cranny, hoping to find a lizard.
This SniffSpot is a well-fenced-in property that is extremely clean and very private. The bathing station, which is available as an add-on looks fairly new and perfect for any size dog. Do follow Heather's advice and drive slowly as you approach this site because the dirt road is bumpy but well worth the ride.
If you have a high-energy dog like mine who needs time off the leash to run and explore without being tormented by other dogs at a public dog park, I strongly recommend this SniffSpot. We'll be back Charly M.

55Maisie gets so excited as soon as we turn down the dirt road heading to Heather's Sniffspot. With lots of space to run, it's still all about the lizards in the wood pile. 🦎 🐶Charly M.

55My dog Stoney loved it! He had so much space to be able to run around. They did have toys and everything for him to be able to play with. Very easy access with no problems or issues. Definitely recommend! Gabrielle W.

FAQ about our St. Augustine 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?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 99% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the St. Augustine area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 203 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 23 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
