55Zeus loved this spot!! There’s so much space to run around. In addition to all the mowed grassy area, there is some longer grass/bushes to sniff around in. We had such a great time!Sarah P.

55Excellent spot! My dog was too excited by the horses, but if your pup is good with them, this is an ideal spot. Well fenced, clean, and spacious!Sarah J.

55Amazing spot! I was in the area for a wedding with my dogs tagging along and I needed a place to let them burn off their energy. This spot was amazing, I wish I lived closer so I could come again!Donna M.

55Well worth the hour drive to and from. Very clean and safely fenced in. Lots of space for the dogs to run around and sniff. Both dogs loved running around and enjoyed trying to see the horses. Loved seeing my dog plop in the kiddie pool to cool off. Plan on visiting again for longer next time. Angela A.

55This place is a beauty! It took me one hour and 20 minutes to drive. That drive in itself was very much worth it. Beautiful scenic views and a great town like place. When I went to the sniffspot it was the best hands-down. So much land, so much for the dogs to do. I have two Australian Shepherd‘s. My boys had the time of their life and Are actually knocked out on our living room sofas and I’m pretty sure they’ll be sleeping for a while. The drive back home was just as great. No traffic, great scenery, and a great safe place for you to have your fur children at! You cannot ask for more. Judith is a beautiful woman inside and out! I had the pleasure to meet her because as I was putting my address on the GPS she was pulling into the driveway. Again an awesome person with a great personality! I can’t wait to go again! Gladys C.

55Love that we could pull in the gate and park inside the Sniffspot! That made it so much easier when arriving/loading the dogs up to leave. There is a great wooded area that the dogs loved exploring!
Please be aware for reactive/poor-recall pups that there is a spot near the horse enclosure that very determined dogs can get through. I stood guard for a little bit when the horses were visible just in case. Otherwise the rest of the field is secure and there are plenty of places to explore on the property!Jess C.

55A beautiful and clean spot! My pup had the best time running around, playing fetch and exploring the space. There were agility equipment and although we had never tried it before, it was fun testing it out with him 😊 will definitely come back!Germain R.

55Gorgeous property with a sturdy fence and everything you could need available (toys, bags, water, chairs, even a hammock!) It's a wide open space so remember tp weat sunscreen. My girl was fascinated by a beautiful horse that came out near the end of our visit. Unfortunately said girl is an obsessive scavenger and could not resist the siren song of the horse manure fertilizer pile, so she had to enjoy the park on her long line. But we still had a wonderful time!Katherine M.

55This is my first time ever using Sniffspot and I  had such a great experience. I messaged Judith within the app because I was not sure where the garbage can was and she was super responsive. Her space is beautiful and my dogs had an absolute blast.Michelle P.

55First sniff spot did not disappoint ! Plenty of room to roam and be free . Roscoe took a liking to the horses . Only a few times did I have to distract him from trying to “play” with them . Great place to spend quality time . Korey E.

FAQ about our New Paltz dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
