55Still our favorite Sniffspot! My Izzy loves being able to run and play among the paths and trees. It feels like being out on trails while having the security of a fully fenced area. Perfect for my leash-reactive girl! k.c. w.

55We loved Vicki’s amazing Sniffspot! She gave us a great tour when we got there and left a lot of thoughtful little touches for us and our pup to enjoy. It’s a beautiful quiet woodsy oasis, and we’ll definitely be back!Jessica D.

55This was a GREAT location! The space exceeded expectations and my dogs loved exploring. Vicki met us to go over things, point out toys for the dogs and had water for dogs & people as well as bug spray (which I should have used). I would absolutely recommend and will be going back again.Maureen O.

55Atlas had the best time at Woodland Paradise! He was super appreciative of the crate of dog toys and the fresh water ready for him after all his running around playing fetch. Great place for your dog to be a dog without other distractions or worries of them running off! Definitely will be back with him and recommend to others!Brianne B.

55Great wooded walking area for dogs! Amenities made for a delightful treat for my dog. We were able to do great realistic practice for recall with nature providing distraction. Great seating (and beverages!) available for humans and water, toys, and poop bags available for dogs!Casey R.

55What a wonderful spot for my dogs! I have 3 reactive rescue dogs and they thoroughly enjoyed this spot! For me, it was wonderful to not have to maneuver around other dogs! They thought of everything! The meet and greet for first visit, the pool for any pups who enjoy a good cool down, a pitcher of water and lemonade for the humans, buckets/bowls of water for your pups, benches, toys…just fantastic!

55Our second time here - excellent again! Our dog is a sprinter not a marathoner — he started with a quick chase towards a deer that was outside of the fence, got lots of good sniffs in, then we played with the hose which is his favorite part. Finished up our visit relaxing and cooling off. He’ll sleep the rest of the day. Afterall, a tired hound is a good hound! Can’t wait to come back! (It was buggy today, as is expected during a humid summer, but the host had bug spray, a towel, water, and lemonade available!)Emily W.

55What a fantastic spot! We had a great time just letting our dog run and sniff and just enjoy being off leash in a very secure environment. The owner is wonderful and provided a meet and greet to show us around, as it was our first time. All of the accommodations were so thoughtful - toys and water for the dogs and lemonade and bug spray for the humans. This was our first time using Sniffspot and we will definitely be back!Tasha G.

55This spot is absolutely wonderful!
My dog is reactive so finding spots for her to play where we can both be at ease, play and relax is not always easy.
This place provided me with total peace of mind. It is clean, quiet and your dog will have an amazing time while you have peace of mind that they are save.
There was someone there to give us the initial tour, show us around and let us know that there was nothing to worry about. That made this visit that much better.
Give it a try, worth every penny! Orquidea D.

FAQ about our Middletown 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Middletown area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 90 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 15 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
