55Jamie’s yard was huge and awesome, with rolling hills and plush, clean grass. My pups had a great time with plenty to sniff, lots of room to run, a big bucket of fresh water and giant pile of balls. We all had a great time and would love to come back! Julielyn G.

55This place is such an excellent option for working with your dog(s). The pool is clean and everything is well taken care of. Our dogs love the obstacles and our fearful guy absolutely loves swimming in the pool. It’s helping to build his confidence. Thank you for creating this space. Ali S.

55A million stars! One of my dogs is reactive and can be a handful around new dogs. The other one isn’t reliable/trustworthy off leash. This place was PERFECT! They got to run around and play with each other, explore the agility equipment, and sniff all kinds of exciting smells. Opal was disappointment we didn’t reserve the pool, so we’ll have to come back on a hotter day lol Lynn provided a bucket of toys, buckets for water with access to a hose to fill them, plenty of seating for humans, and poop bags with a trash can. We will definitely be back!
Just a heads up, as of 8/10/22 there was a lot of road work being done on Route 2 coming from Richmond. Carolyn S.

55Lynn’s spot is amazing, we had an absolute blast. It has literally everything you need! It was such a good experience for my pack - while we go on leashed walks around town regularly this provided new freedom, smells and exposures which was so valuable. We will certainly be back! Lauren P.

55Lynn was so accommodating and calm! We LOVED our visit. We have a reactive pup and it was so perfect for him to be able to just run freely! We also got him in the pool to swim for the first time EVER, and once he got in, he didn’t want to get out!! We will absolutely be frequenting as often as possible. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. Finnley had a blast.Ashley C.

55This spot is amazing! One of our dogs was trying the obstacles while the other was just running around sniffing everything. The hose for water if awesome as it was a very hot day and they drank a lot. Our dogs love to be off leash and this was a wonderful area where we didn’t have to worry about them wandering off or their prey drive. Jennifer B.

FAQ about our Monkton 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.
