55So amazing!! I couldn’t be happier that I chose this sniffspot. The agility obstacles, space to run off-leash, and fun toys were so awesome. Water and poop bags already there! My boy was nervous at first but ended up having SUCH a fun time!! He is still exhausted an hour later. 10/10 recommend and I would give more stars if I could!Ally F.

55Fully fenced and full of fun dog enrichment activities. Our 2 labs and beagle had fun digging and climbing and running along in the wooded trails. The chicken coop sparked their interest and they enjoyed taking a peek at that! We added on the Easter egg hunt option and the dogs sniffed out 24 of the 25 hidden eggs and they appreciated the freeze dried chimken treatos :) we hope to be invited guests and to return soon!

55I always enjoy my visits and this time, I enjoyed pairing my clients dogs together to become best buddies in the making. I really appreciate having two yards for initial separation before releasing them to play if and when they're ready 😊 Thank you!!Laura G.

55We had the best time! I wish we had come sooner. Vesper hasn’t been able to let loose like that in a while and I felt like she was smiling the whole time. The property was very clean and free of debris. Lot’s of different things to check out and smell. We will definitely be back!Katelyn L.

55Had another wonderful afternoon here! We did the Easter egg hunt add on and our pup had a blast! It is such a treat to have a space like this so close for pups to enjoy. We usually bring our own toys and water bowls but everything you need is provided. We will definitely be back as the weather warms up!Charlotte M.

55The new setup is lovely! All of the different play/skill areas are clearly designated and there’s still plenty of open space for running around. My pups loved the extra sand and had a blast splashing in the wading pool! We’re so grateful to have such a thoughtfully appointed and well kept play space so close by! Anna S.

55I cannot wait to bring my dog here again!! Everything was clearly marked, and there were so many things for Biggs to do. Lots of confidence-building equipment, tons of new scents for him, a fenced in, wooded area for him to explore off leash, and he was fascinated by the chickens! This is such a cool gem of a place to bring your dog or dogs; Biggs & I will definitely be back! Thank you for this amazing set up, Traci & Ray! Katie P.

FAQ about our Barrington 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.
