55What a wonderful experience. My pup was MORE excited about sniffing every other dog then sprinting around for a few minutes. THEN it was GAME TIME :) 10/10 GOOD DOG spot. Brittany T.

55Absolutely loved it here. The hosts are very nice, the fenced in area is solid. There’s a barn with seats, beverages, wifi, treats and toys. The place is big enough without being able to lose sight of your dog with a few steps. Highly recommend!Liz M.

55Vicki was an amazing hostess. She was extremely sweet and happily showed us around the whole area when we arrived. She had already put out water for not only the dogs but provided us with drinking options as well, if wanted. There were also multiple places to just sit and relax while the dogs played. The property was beautiful, clean, and extremely comfortable to be in. There were toys provided and a garbage to put any poop bags so you didn’t have to carry them out. Our dogs had a blast and we also greatly enjoyed our time there. I expect we’ll become frequent fliers here!Caitlin C.

55This might be our new favorite Sniffspot. The wooded area is absolutely beautiful and well kept. So much to sniff and explore, making it a really great place to practice recall. My dog had such a great time running around in the leaves, it was such a joy to see him zoom around in a wooded environment without a care in the world. The hosts are so thoughtful and communicative, making the entire experience just wonderful. We will absolutely be back!Kelly L.

55This is my favorite sniff spot experience so far. The owners were super nice and welcoming. They gave us a tour of the place upon arrival. The spot was huge, there were treats, water, and toys available for the pups. And for the humans, there was hot water for tea and hot cocoa. It felt like we were arriving at an airbnb. Excellent service and wonderful experience! Gisele E.

55This is a slice of pure puppy paradise. We brought our 1 yr old lab, Gemma, to experience a dose of true freedom from the leash. She loved it. My wife loved it. And I loved it. Dave, it was a pleasure meeting you. Vicki, although we didn’t meet, we very much appreciated your clear communication with us. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you.Ismaili K.

55Vicki’s place is pure paradise for your pup! Perfect woodsy spot for lots of running, sniffing and exploring for dogs. Our dog had the best time exploring being off leash and able to just roam free. It was wonderful to meet Vicki and see the amazing spot she has for dogs. She had treats for our pup and delicious lemonade waiting for us. We will definitely be back!Jessica S.

FAQ about our Portsmouth 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.
