55The yard is beautiful and big enough for the doggies to get their zoomies out. Bruce is a great host, providing doggie bags, bug spray, hand sanitizer, and even a couple treats. It was wonderful! Jessa b.

55This is such a lovely space! Lani had a wonderful time sniffing and running around, rolling in the grass, and head tilting at the fish in the small pond :)
The fences that border neighboring houses are tall and gave us ample privacy. We heard dogs barking every now and then in the neighborhood but they were from a distance and not in view. It did not disrupt our visit!
The host gives great instruction getting into the space, was kind and responsive! Amanda V.

55Such a great spot. Both our dogs loved running and exploring this location. The only sad part was that one of dogs left sad because they wanted to stay and the other was completely exhausted. Thanks so much!!Bradley A.

FAQ About West Haven 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.
