55Such an incredible property to explore!
Beautiful scenery, and a great way to tire out the doggies.
Be mindful of ticks and do a check after the visit.
My favorite thing is getting to see my dogs have off leash freedom in a safe and secure environment. This was such a wonderful experience for them. Jenna M.

55Tony was so nice and wonderful! He showed me around the property. We had discussed before hand that my dogs were people friendly. :) The fence is solid, and the space is massive. Such a fun way to get my city dogs out in the country. Taylor S.

55This property is beautiful and our pups ran around full speed for a full 1/2 hour. It has beautiful views, a pond for the the pups to drink out of or swim in, and hiking trails that we didn’t get to yet because our dogs wore themselves out in the fields. Highly recommend. We’ll for sure be back.
The Host, Tony, is super nice and communicates really well about his property and how to find it. Next time we’ll take him up on his offer to walk a bit with us so we make sure to hit all the good stuff. Johanna B.

55The whole place is fenced with what I would call a chain link equivalent, very secure.
There were a bunch of wide trails mowed into the grass, a few wooded narrow trails and a pond.
My dog had a blast. I wanted somewhere to let her off leash that was fully secure but big enough to give her actual freedom. This was perfect. I did leash her around the pond, she wanted to go in but it was green and I didn't want to deal with a wet dog.
The only con is the ticks. I didn't knock any stars off because I fully expected them. My dog has come home full of them when hiking in public parks. It's just to be expected, especially if they "off road" into the unmowed parts. The humans only picked up 1 or 2, possibly also from the dog. Just make sure your dog is up to date on flea and tick medicine and possibly vaccinated against tick borne illnesses. Or come closer to winter. Sara S.

55A dog’s paradise! The fencing is very secure, and the trails are well-maintained. The horse and goats are cute too! We drove 90 minutes there, and it was absolutely worth the trip. Be sure to come prepared with bug spray, towels, and grooming wipes. ;) Tony provides very clear instructions and is friendly and helpful. You can sometimes hear his dogs bark, but they are not visible.Andrea Z.

55What an amazing gem. I had 4 dogs ranging from 7 pounds to 80, and they each had a fabulous time. I also enjoyed watching them frolic through the fields and they enjoyed their freedom so much. I highly recommend visiting the farm. I know I will be back! Ann W.

FAQ about our Litchfield dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Litchfield?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water 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. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water 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.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
