55The spot was absolutely beautiful and my dogs thoroughly enjoyed having a chance to play on the water. Neither of my dogs have shown interest in swimming before but both were quite excited to explore the water and eventually jumped in.
Pamela was very quick to respond to all of my questions and was very kind. I appreciated her insights and advice on how to make our visit as wonderful as possible.
For other dog owners, one of my dogs absolutely loves other dogs and will go to absurd lengths to meet them. He saw a dog a couple of houses down and swam around the fence to try and go say hello. Thankfully he came back fairly easily. If the water is low, it is fairly easy for a dog to get out at the edge of the water. My other one stayed perfectly fine and I had no concerns that she'd try to leave (and she's the one I worry about usually). The description of the spot makes this clear so I mostly want to echo that warning for some dogs. I'd still bring my dogs back and maybe just keep my one who ran on a 30' long biothane leash instead of letting him totally free next time. Elicia D.

Pamela's Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Sturgis | Sniffspot
55The place was exactly as described. We had four large dogs that never got to experience swimming before. We chose to keep them tethered because they don't recall well. But they had a lot of fun splashing in the shallow water and scaring themselves out, and then going in to try again! Thank you so much!! Anastasia G.

FAQ About Sturgis 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.
