What people say about dog parks around Valparaiso, Indiana

Our dog Max loves going to Dana’s fenced in yard. We do not have a fenced yard. Max is a rescue dog so he gets a bit overwhelmed at dog parks. Thrilled to have this option.

What a blessing this was today, and will continue to be for us! My rescue Olive is leash reactive, so that makes taking her anywhere very challenging. She would likely be fine off leash at a dog park, but there are just too many variables and unknowns for me to feel like it would be a safe option. But this was perfect. Dana thought of everything! And this yard is such an oasis and safe place. Even my 16 year old blind pup enjoyed sniffing around the whole yard! I’m only sad I did not know about this sooner! Thank you, Dana!

Dana is always so thoughtful my crazy golden loves water. I asked if we could still use the pool she said yes. It was filled with water and she left us towels. Very thoughtful and appreciated.

Another great day at our favorite spot! Yard was just as perfect as always-not muddy or soggy. Great time had by dog and humans-lol. It was great to get outside.

This is my second time using this Sniffspot. Dana was very kind and helpful answering all of my questions about usage etc. The yard was clean, private and I felt very safe while having Elvira play off leash. We had a lot of room to run and play ball. The patio was a nice place to sit while enjoying our visit as well. Water was available along with toys and other amenities. We had such a wonderful time bonding with our son's new puppy!

Again, so much fun, clean and a safe place to play! First time for these three and they loved it too!

Our first visit to this amazing spot. It is so beautiful and well cared for that I was afraid to let our dogs loose. While we have acreage at home, there is no fencing to keep them from disappearing into our woods, or worse, the road. We brought our Springer, Golden and St. Bernard today. They were nervous about being in a new place but they relaxed a little when there was no vet in sight. I don’t doubt that next time the dogs will be more relaxed when it is familiar. Many kudos to Dana for creating and maintaining such lovely spot where dogs have room to roam safely. I know they’re going to sleep well tonight!

This is a nice little spot to visit! Collette was very nice, informative and quick to respond. Her yard was clean and what a fence!!! I felt very secure bringing our german shepard puppy to play ball here. She got tuckered out and had alot of fun running, sniffing, jumping over the log and playing! Collete had balls, chairs and a garbage can for us to use as well as a firepit. Parking was great, just in front of the house. We only stayed 30 min. as this was our first visit here and it was sprinkling a little bit (a tad muddy in spots but to be expected on a day like today). 😊 I forgot to take a pic, however, we will be back again and I will share one then! Thanks so much for sharing your yard with us!

FAQ about our Valparaiso dog parks
