55We loved it! Krystal’s yard was just perfect! We live in an apartment and our rescue dog is learning to socialize, and not ready for dogs interaction and needs to drain energy. This spot is well fenced, no view to outside, big enough for zoomies and there were plenty of toys and treats. Our pup was so happy fetching and jumping. Thanks Krystal, for letting us use your garden!D R.

55We didn't have the best weather, but Krystal's yard is very quiet, private and spacious. Easy to access and appreciated being able to park in the driveway as well! Looking forward to returning in the warmer months!Heather N.

55Amazing yard! Host was also very kind and responsive. She left toys, poop bags in the yard. There is also a bench for people to sit on which was nice.
You cannot see or hear anyone so it’s very private and easy to get in and out of.
We went after sunset but she left the lights on and it was quite nice.
My dog ran around and sniffed and loved it! Jasmine D.

55Overall my dog had a fun time sniffing and exploring the yard! There were toys, water bowl, treats, and seating provided. Just note that near the end of our booking, the neighbour’s dog came out and barked and stared at my dog nonstop which made my dog anxious so we decided to leave early (see pic). But, the host assured me that the neighbour’s dog is only seen 2-3x a month. Maggie L.

55We had a blast! There is a lot of space to play (great for zoomies) and a large selection of toys. The backyard is separate from the house which helped my reactive pup feel safe and allowed us to really have fun. We will be visiting again. Jennifer J.

55Was our first visit and we will definitely return. Good sized space for my dogs to explore and play. Great assortment of toys, water bowl out and freshly filled. Access to the hose for more. Poop bags and treats for the pups on the patio table. All very thoughtful and appreciated. There is also a doggie pool, we didn’t use it today but will next visit. My new favourite Sniffspot:)Tammy D.

55A fun space for running and sniffing, fully enclosed with a secure gate in a quiet neighborhood. The host welcomed us to park in their driveway. Some great features include a dog pool with fresh water, a clean and raked digging sandbox, shaded seating for humans, and a variety of toys including a Chuckit with several tennis balls. Thoughtful touches included a generous bowl of water and little flags marking a few spots of uneven terrain (so humans could avoid injury while playing!) A great Sniffspot and we look forward to returning.Nadia H.

55This was my first booking with Sniffspot and Sheila. The communication was fantastic, and everything was as pictured/described. I have a rescue German shepherd who’s reactive, so it was a pleasure to take him where he could run free and play ball. The grass was nicely cut, a large clean water bowl was placed by the toy area for convenience, and lots of toys provided so I could leave mine at home. The fence was as described, and later in the day there is shade for resting, along with a picnic table to sit for the mom. I would highly recommend this location to anyone who requires a special safe place to take their dogs. Blue had a wonderful time and so did I. Thank You Sheila. 🙌🏻🙌🏻D J.

FAQ about our Wilson 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Wilson 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 291 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 42 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.
