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.

55This place was great for my reactive dog to frolic and live her best life. Lots of shady spots to hang out under for the super hot day we visited. Will definitely be going here all the time!Moriah H.

55This spot is the BEST. It’s a very quiet property, kept very clean and has so many amazing amenities. The host Lynn is incredibly helpful when showing you around. I was slightly hesitant on the pool since I knew other dogs swam in it, but it was SO CLEAN! I have been here twice so far and am going to try to make this a weekly thing! I cannot say enough good things about this patch of paradise.Kaity M.

55Such a fun afternoon. It was so nice to have a space to get together with four dogs and feel like there is plenty of space for them all. Lynn was so accommodating and the amenities are all great quality (especially the pool!). Cary D.

55Lynn greeted us upon arrival with a warm welcome and introduction to the space. The space is so well thought out with toys, water, obstacles, etc. A beautiful safe space! I didn’t book the pool because I wasn’t sure if my pup would like it, but in hindsight I should have just gone for it, especially in the heat! Would highly recommend Brook Run Dog Park! Courtney I.

55Brook Run was such a treat, and I could not recommend the space, amenities, or host, Lynn, more. I have two pups who don’t do well in public parks (one is a senior and slowing down, the other is anxious around new people and dogs). We’ve never found a space where we felt comfortable letting both off leash to run free, so this was an absolute dream. We’ll definitely be back and will be spreading the word! xo, Leah, Fiona, & RoccoLeah F.

55My dog Goose LOVED this spot. The area was well kept and had plenty of toys and activities for him to interact with. As a new rescue dog this was the first time I’ve been able to really let him run free and it was well worth it :)Shea H.

55If I could give Brook Run Dog Park more stars I would!
The moment we arrived a Lynn’s beautiful property she greeted us with warmth and kindness. She should us everything she has to offer, and several times throughout our visit checked in to see if we needed anything.
Here space is massive! I went with two friends and their dogs, between us we had 8 dogs and BRDP had more than enough space for them all. The pool was a major hit with them (I couldn’t keep my dog out of it) and we even got to swim with the dogs! And the agility course was perfect for confidence building with the 3 puppies we have. All of our dogs are off leash trained, but it gave us such a peace of mind to just be able to let them off leash in a fenced in area.
We are already planning to go back for our dogs birthdays, gotcha days, and just for fun because the space is amazing and so is Lynn!Cassidy P.

FAQ about our Starksboro 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Starksboro area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 12 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
