55Atlas had the best time at Woodland Paradise! He was super appreciative of the crate of dog toys and the fresh water ready for him after all his running around playing fetch. Great place for your dog to be a dog without other distractions or worries of them running off! Definitely will be back with him and recommend to others!Brianne B.

55Great wooded walking area for dogs! Amenities made for a delightful treat for my dog. We were able to do great realistic practice for recall with nature providing distraction. Great seating (and beverages!) available for humans and water, toys, and poop bags available for dogs!Casey R.

55What a wonderful spot for my dogs! I have 3 reactive rescue dogs and they thoroughly enjoyed this spot! For me, it was wonderful to not have to maneuver around other dogs! They thought of everything! The meet and greet for first visit, the pool for any pups who enjoy a good cool down, a pitcher of water and lemonade for the humans, buckets/bowls of water for your pups, benches, toys…just fantastic!

55Our second time here - excellent again! Our dog is a sprinter not a marathoner — he started with a quick chase towards a deer that was outside of the fence, got lots of good sniffs in, then we played with the hose which is his favorite part. Finished up our visit relaxing and cooling off. He’ll sleep the rest of the day. Afterall, a tired hound is a good hound! Can’t wait to come back! (It was buggy today, as is expected during a humid summer, but the host had bug spray, a towel, water, and lemonade available!)Emily W.

55What a fantastic spot! We had a great time just letting our dog run and sniff and just enjoy being off leash in a very secure environment. The owner is wonderful and provided a meet and greet to show us around, as it was our first time. All of the accommodations were so thoughtful - toys and water for the dogs and lemonade and bug spray for the humans. This was our first time using Sniffspot and we will definitely be back!Tasha G.

55Our German Shepherd, Ellie, is usually quite anxious and sometimes even reactive when we’re out, but she was able to run, roam and play freely without a worry at Woodland Paradise. The location’s very clean and 100% secure. Every possible consideration was taken to ensure Ellie had a stress-free experience. We’re extremely grateful to have such a wonderful location nearby and hope to visit again many times. Amy W.

55The most amazing sniffspot we’ve visited!! Charlie and I had a great time! We drove an hour to visit and we will definitely be doing it again! It’s beautiful and clean. The owners are extremely nice. It’s all fenced in with a lot of ground for the pups to cover. They provide shelter, a box of toys, dog cookies, fresh water, and even had hot water brewing for me to make tea/coffee. It is the prefect place especially for reactive dogs. Charlie is dog aggressive and he was able to be a dog with no distractions. The fence is sturdy and tall. I recommend this spot to everyone! I would drive 2 hours to bring Charlie here. Beautiful. Safe. Hospitality is outstanding. Its fun. The hour went by faster than any other place we’ve been too. We can’t wait to visit again!!
We did see a donkey (a quiet donkey) he wasn’t visible for very long. And the neighbors behind the spot did come out and play with their dog. However, in the spring and summer I’m sure they would not be visible once the foliage starts to grow back. Charlie did notice the dog but he didn’t lose his mind as he normally does. It was also at the end of our visit, which was good. We still got to fully enjoy our time there before Charlie was slightly distracted. I’ve also been in the middle of training charlie through his fears and this was a great spot to work on it as well. Allicia F.

FAQ about our Middletown 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Middletown 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 97 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 15 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.
