55Our first sniff spot experience & we will be coming back! It was absolutely perfect. I have a 5 year old dog who can sometimes be reactive and a 1 year old dog who I’m working on training with (he loves to eat poop), so dog parks are not a part of our lives. This was incredible. The 1 year old is not wireless fence trained at home yet so he’s always on a run or leash & he loved getting to run with his sister. The property was clean & well maintained.Emily F.

55We love the Golden Dog Playground! It is so spacious that my big dogs can open it up running around. There are so many enrichment activities, and we added the heater which was a nice touch for us! Thanks again Traci! Hope to be back soon!! Katie C.

55First time visit to a sniff spot. Our pup is 10 mo old and really enjoyed his visit. There is so much room! He was all over sniffing and exploring . The chickens were an added bonus for him. For us, an hour is too long a visit. He was pooped after 30 mins. I can see a place like this being perfect if you have 2 or more dogs to bring. Wendy E.

55We had a blast! My pups had so much fun and it’s great to see my little ones confidence climbing the hay stack and tires. And my older dog was fun to see him use some of the agility equipment. We loved the extra options! We will be back for sure! Rebecca B.

55The Golden Dog Playground just continues to impress us and entertain our dogs. Rocky and Juniper know where we are going before we get there - and Juniper, who is our shy girl - gets super excited as we hit the driveway.
Traci keeps finding new ways to add enrichment options and value to their SniffSpot, which makes it fun for canine and human alike. This visit we enjoyed having the heater available so after doing some dog parkour, we could take a break and sit under it for a quick warm up while the dogs continued to explore the woods. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Terrie H.

55My dogs had a great time at this Sniffspot! One of my dogs has a high prey drive so the chickens were hidden for us which was very helpful! They loved running around the large area and through the woods. They also loved the digging area and the toys that were provided! Will definitely come again. Sarah F.

55My dogs had a BLAST! There were so many fun smells for them to check out but not to mention the awesome agility / parkour equipment too! Their favorite part was the fenced in wooded trail, they ran their hearts out! Erica M.

55What a wonderful experience for my reactive pup! She had a chance to run and sniff so many new smells. We were worried about the chickens, but they were well hidden and absolutely no issues. I’d highly recommend the Golden Dog Playground.Samantha B.

55Spot was very easy to get to. Everything was clean and nice. My dog really enjoyed spending the first 15 or so minutes exploring and sniffing, and the rest of the time zooming around, exploring the equipment with me, and playing retrieval games with a tennis ball. It was quiet and peaceful. A perfect spot for both me and my dog. If I lived closer, we would visit often! We'll definitely still make the trip out every now and then to enjoy everything that the Playground has to offer.Natasha G.

FAQ about our Barrington dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?

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.
