55Very pretty property, very dog friendly. There's a forested area with paths and a huge pond with frogs, fish, and other interesting moving critters. There is a dock for dock diving and an agility area. The fence is sufficient for most dogs except for tiny sausage dogs like mine (he is 6lbs). He can fit through 4 inch wide holes. The host will be shoring up the holes for the future.Megan M.

55“Most wonderful place
on Earth” - Gus and Chip
My boys thought they were in hound dog heaven! We loved everything, from the agility equipment, to the wooded trails, to the pond, but the SNIFFS…those were the absolute best! The hounds enjoyed thoroughly sniffing and inspecting every single surface on the property. As city dwellers, we so appreciate these hosts for allowing us the opportunity to “hound dog” around. Already booked our next visit! Erica F.

55Maddy had the best time visiting Barkov Park for her Gotcha Day!!! She got lots of sniffs checking out all of the grassy areas and had a blast going into the water at a variety of different spots too. I did want to try the agility equipment but Maddy wasn’t in the mood for that. There were a couple of muddy spots, but that’s not surprising considering the rain we’ve had lately, and this was mentioned in the listing as well. The spot was very clean and I didn’t have to worry about Maddy eating anything she shouldn’t, and there was a trash can and some scoopers by the entrance as well.
There was a construction site next to the spot, which was mentioned in the listing, but it didn’t bother Maddy at all other than every once in a while pausing at a noise. I could see a few houses but the way the fencing and landscaping was, Maddy couldn’t really see much and was only interested in looking at “her” car when she looked out the fence.
We’ve visited a few Sniffspots before that haven’t worked out, ie. the chickens weren’t actually secured, or there were actually visible neighbors and their dogs. Jackie was super great communicating any potential issues, such as a snapping turtle which had appeared this morning, and describing how the chicken coop was situated and everything went really smoothly from my perspective as well! I did end up keeping Maddy on her long line, which was my plan, as she can jump really high if she’s really trying to go after something. However I didn’t see any spots where she could’ve broken through or anything like that — height was my only concern.
We will definitely come back! I’m so glad to have found this spot — if you have a dog who is reactive to anyone and anything, this is definitely a spot to check out!Rebecca F.

55My dogs had a blast! Finding the entrances was super easy & as soon as we made it past the second gate door we let our dogs run free and needless to say they had a spectacular time! We had no issues whatsoever, they really enjoyed the pond! & took some time to check out the agility course!Cristina P.

55Wonderful spot! Our dogs loved the trails and the pond. Fence is great (we have a runner) and secure. They were very muddy by the time we were done and there was a hose to spray them down! Probably the best day of their lives :) Host was great, very helpful and directions/instructions are detailed. Abby N.

55I mean this place is amazing! Woodland trails, a huge pond, so much grass to roll in and an agility course! All while being super secluded! This first visit, we checked out the area on long leash, i can confirm it's super secure and we will definitely transfer to off leash fun next time! We didn't hear the dogs and the chickens were no problem for Melon.Monni B.

FAQ about our Plainfield dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility 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. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility 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.
