Howling Pines 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park in Pembroke/Concord

Welcome to Howling Pines Sniffspot, a private, peaceful place designed with your dog’s best day in mind. We’re open 7 days a week 6a - 9p with lights to illuminate late night and early morning visits. Located just 5 minutes from Target in Concord, NH, Howling Pines offers approximately 1 fully fenced acre of mixed terrain for running, sniffing, exploring, playing, or simply enjoying some off-leash freedom. The entire Sniffspot is enclosed with 5-foot-tall, 14-gauge welded livestock wire fencing with approximately 2" x 4" openings, providing a secure boundary while maintaining the natural, open feel of the property. Please see photos of fencing included in the listing. Our Sniffspot sits on a private 6.5-acre property, set back more than 350 feet from a quiet, dead-end residential street. The space combines a grassy backyard with cleared, tree-covered woods, giving dogs plenty of room to explore different sights, smells, and terrain. Approximately 2/3 of the Sniffspot is wooded, making it especially fun for dogs who love to sniff, wander, and investigate. Designed for Safe, Easy Arrivals: We know that getting in and out safely can be one of the most stressful parts of visiting a new place, especially with reactive, nervous, excited, or escape-prone dogs. That’s why the entrance to Howling Pines features a double-gated airlock located directly beside your designated parking area, allowing you to move from your vehicle into the Sniffspot quickly and securely. Stay & Play After Dark and Early Morning Hours: Early sunset or late sunrise shouldn't stop you or your pups from having fun. The yard is lit for evening and early morning visits, making it easier for you and your dog to continue enjoying the space after the sun goes down, especially during our shorter New England fall and winter days. All lights are solar powered and motion activated. During Your Visit, You’ll Find: - Covered seating area for humans to relax while the dogs play - Cleared wooded areas for sniffing and exploring - Outdoor lighting for evening and early morning visits - Washable dog toys, including Chuckits, tug toys, balls, and more - Fresh water for dogs and humans - Pet waste stations and poop bags throughout the space - Clean towels available for muddy paws, wet dogs, and humans - Antibacterial wipes and hand sanitizer for easy cleanup - Complimentary human snacks - Designated parking directly beside the airlock entrance Built by Dog People, for Dog People We share our home with two Husky/Malamute mixes, so we are very familiar with high-energy, adventurous, large-breed dogs and the importance of having a safe place where they can truly stretch their legs. We designed Howling Pines to provide more than just physical exercise. The mix of woods, grass, smells, toys, and open space gives dogs opportunities for mental enrichment and natural exploration, too. Whether your dog wants to sprint, sniff every tree, chase a ball, explore the woods, or simply enjoy being outside without the distractions of a traditional dog park, we hope Howling Pines becomes one of their favorite places. Come sniff, explore, and howl at the pines!

Bear Brook Canine Camp

Fully fenced in approximately two acres. We now have lighting for nighttime use. Approximately five times around the property perimeter equals a mile. We have chuck-it throws and balls, many toys, sand/digging areas, pools and agility equipment in a large, fenced area for you and your dog to romp around. Main entrance to the yard can be found by entering the second driveway and parking in the designated parking area in front of the solar barn. We do not plow that driveway in the winter as it’s just gravel. So, feel free to park at the bottom of my driveway and walk to the SS gate if you’re not comfortable using the SS driveway in the winter. We ask that you please adhere to our 24 hour notice when changing or canceling a reservation. We are always fully booked on weekends and most weekdays too. A 24 hour notice allows enough time for someone else to fill a newly open reservation. Feel free to reach out via text 603-682-7216 with any questions or concerns. Enjoy! Melodie

Sarah's Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Manchester

Golden Dog Playground

Welcome to the Golden Dog Playground. We are open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and by appointment only Monday through Thursday. Planning a special occasion or need to reserve a specific visit time outside our open hours? Message us here or call/text (603) 815-2453. The Golden Dog Playground is located on more than 5 scenic acres in Barrington, NH, with just over 1 acre of fenced-in space, the Playground was created to give dogs a safe, enriching place to simply be dogs. This private space encourages natural dog behavior through sniffing, exploring, digging, moving, observing, water play (seasonal), and confidence-building activities. It is not just a place to run — it is a thoughtfully designed environment where dogs can move at their own pace, build confidence, and enjoy off-leash freedom without the pressure of a public dog park. The Playground includes two connected fenced areas, enrichment toys, confidence-building equipment, a digging station, sensory experiences, natural fitness opportunities, seasonal water play, fresh water, clean bowls, waste bags, and easy disposal. Some dogs come to play. Some come to sniff, settle, and explore. Some need space to build confidence in a calm, controlled environment. However your dog uses the space, the goal is the same: enrichment, confidence, connection, and the simple joy of being a dog. Golden Dog Club members receive a $5 off coupon code for Playground visits. Check the member discount page.

Looking forward to sharing this space with others with solo doggos! My pup, Queenie, has very limited view to the fenced in yard (which note: it wraps around the house!) The property is treated with pet safe tick and mosquito treatment so when the grass is long, it is fun to play in without worry. The grass is currently short as we prepare for the winter. The garden beds are also done for the season, there is one pumpkin growing but everything is non toxic and dogs can romp around them all they want. Let me know if you need anything!

Megan's 5 Acre Lakefront Unfenced Private Dog Park with Lake Access In Acton

🍂 FALL/WINTER UPDATE – 10/8/26 Camp is closing up for the season this weekend! All seasonal amenities, including chairs, docks, and trash cans, will be removed or put away for the winter. Price reduced to $15/hour for fall/winter months! Our Sniffspot will remain OPEN year-round! You're still welcome to enjoy the property, explore the woods, and access the lake with your pup. Just keep in mind that seasonal amenities will no longer be available. IMPORTANT REMINDERS - ABSOLUTELY NO smoking, vaping, open flames, campfires, charcoal grills, or fireworks anywhere on the property. These camps are cherished family properties, and due to shoreline regulations, a camp lost to fire likely could not be rebuilt in its current location. - Chairs and docks: Being put away for winter. You're welcome to bring your own chairs to enjoy the little beach area! - Water: The outdoor spigot will be shut off for winter, so please bring drinking water for yourself and your pup. - Dog waste: Please carry out all dog waste, as trash cans will not be available during the winter months. Please do not use our household trash. If your pup goes well into the woods, you're welcome to leave it there. :) --- 🐾 WELCOME TO OUR LAKESIDE SNIFFSPOT! Open year-round, this private 5+ acre Sniffspot offers plenty of room to roam, explore, and swim on a beautiful peninsula extending into Balch Lake. Park at the top of the hill and enjoy a scenic walk down, giving your pup a true "Sniffari" experience along the way. At the end, you'll be rewarded with peaceful lake views and a wonderful spot for your dog to explore, splash, and play. Prefer not to walk? You're welcome to drive directly down to the lake access area. The property is unfenced but very private, with the peninsula providing a natural barrier and minimal outside traffic. A FEW THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOUR VISIT - Access road: The road is sand and gravel. Sturdy footwear is recommended if walking. - Road conditions: Rain and seasonal weather can create ruts, and the road is due for grading. - Driving down: SUVs and trucks are recommended. Sedans can typically make it down as well (ours does!), but please use your best judgment, particularly during wet, icy, or snowy conditions. - Lake activity: Balch Lake is shared, so you may see boats, kayaks, paddleboards, and occasionally dogs accompanying boaters on the water. - Sounds across the lake: Sound travels easily over water, so people and dogs may sound much closer than they actually are. - Off-leash safety: As with any unfenced property, please make sure your dog has reliable recall or keep them leashed according to their abilities and your comfort level. - Winter visits: Please plan accordingly, as seasonal amenities will be unavailable and paths, roads, and shoreline areas may be slippery. Whether you're looking for a peaceful lakeside retreat, a woodland adventure, or a place for your dog to burn off some energy, we hope you and your pup enjoy your visit in every season! 🐕🍁
