55My dog is usually very afraid of other dogs and can be reactive, but we had a fantastic experience here. This space was perfect for her! It was incredibly clean and the rental process was very easy. The best part was the size of the backyard - it was huge and allowed my dog to run around to her heart's content.
I was initially worried about the house next door having dogs, but they only barked for a few minutes upon our arrival and then everything was fine. My dog reacts to barking, but even she was much better than I expected. The peaceful and calm environment of the backyard helped her to relax and enjoy herself.
Overall, I highly recommend this backyard rental for any dog owners looking for a safe and secure place for their furry friends to play. I will definitely be back again in the future!Gabriela A.

55Huge yard for my dogs to run around, explore, sniff, and play! My 2 dogs had a blast! We played in the pool, tried out the agility equipment, and overall just had fun playing! My very active 4 year old German Shepherd had fun in the pool and running around and my older laid back beagle mix had fun sniffing and rolling around the yard! We will definitely come back! Highly recommend!Erica J.

55This was a perfect spot for my reactive dog with the solid and tall fence. Huge yard that my dog loved she was exhausted by the end of the hour. I also love how there’s an outdoor table and chairs for the owners to sit and hangout while their dog enjoys the yard. Easy to find, easy access as well. I will definitely be back!!!Olivia S.

55This is a wonderful place, great space for our pups to run. Lots of toys, and the fencing is perfect for dogs who are reactive to seeing people and other animals passing by. Only issue was there were no bowls available to put water in for the pups. Top notch play spot for everyone.Donald E.

55Great, large yard! I was really hoping I could get my pup interested in the flirt pole but he was more interested in trying to run up the deck stairs. The yard has a clear sign at the gate which is super helpful, and parking in the driveway. Definitely recommended, would visit again.Jenna E.

55What a lovely BIG back yard with high fencing all around. Perfect for our reactive dog. The fence was solid, not chain link, so he couldn’t see through to the neighbors’ yard. PERFECT! There was water and a bowl accessible and places to sit. Kelly was a most generous host at Cal and Chief’s. I highly recommend. Patricia S.

55The dogs always have so much fun. Amazing open backyard with tons of room for the dogs to run around. They are sweet to allow us to use their toys for the dogs to play with and left out a water bowl, sanitizer, and bug spray. We loved setting up the agility course and having the dogs practice jumping over obstacles.Cindy L.

55My pup had a really great time, and she loved the agility equipment. It was so spacious and we all felt very comfortable. The water and hose were easy access. There was some stool left behind from another dog but it was quick to clean up with the scoop. Otherwise would definitely sign up again!! Anjana M.

55I came with my five dogs that I occasionally sit for. The spot was very clean, and host was extremely nice, bringing out water for everyone. Parking and entrance was extremely easy. Street parking but entrance is steps from your car. The dogs had the best time running around the large space, and exploring in the bushes. Would absolutely recommend for people with multiple or larger dogs. Devon S.

FAQ about our Methuen dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private 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.
