55This is a wonderful spot. There are several large fields and 30 wooded acres with trails. My two dogs played in one of the fields for 2 hours and we did not see or hear any other dogs. We did see some cows who mooed at us but they were far enough away that my reactive dog was not triggered by them. We walked briefly in the woods but the trails are currently unmarked so we decided to wait until they get a chance to map the area. There was mention of bear cubs in the area so I had my dogs wear their bear bells. We will definitely return-this is a great spot for me to get away with my dogs in a way that is relaxing for me and fun for both dogs. The owners were very friendly and quick with information during the booking process. Sharen M.

55Barry met us right on time and we had a great experience. The property was large, private and well-maintained. Barry was very friendly and helpful. As a bonus, it was much cooler in Union than in other places in CT so on a hot day it provided a nice respite. We'll definitely go back. Thank you!Kristin H.

55We had the best time at Nancy and Barry’s farm! It was a magical time in the forest with moss, stones, trails and hillsides. It was so convenient on our way to Boston, just minutes off 84. They are prepping it to be a “super sniffspot” so there was a bit of mud to the trails so you may want to wear hiking boots. Plenty of space for us to feel safe with our dogs off leash and the trails are away from other animals, but no fencing that we saw (except the fencing enclosing their domestic animals). I think more fenced areas are coming. Thank you Nancy and Barry, you two are a delight!David A.

55Absolutely wonderful spot for doggies! Clean and orderly, the agility equipment is a bonus. First visit, it was great to let my dog run freely once he determined it was allowed. I will reserve again!Janice W.

55What an amazing addition to the community! This spot has around 10 adjustable jumps, 2 tunnels, a weaving course set up and more! There is a cute seating area complete with a table and chairs, poop bags, water, snacks, and info on local dog businesses!
It is easy to get to, access, and play in! My pup and I can’t wait for our next visit!
Would leave 10 stars if I could! Cory C.

55A perfect little fenced in park for our reactive dog to sniff around and explore in peace away from other dogs and people. Was a great opportunity to desensitize her to new sights and sounds in a safe and controlled space. Lots of cool agility equipment, but she was more interested in getting enrichment through sniffing every inch of the park.
Lots of really nice amenities! Chairs and snacks for the humans and there were clean tennis balls to use, poop bags, and a water bowl next to a hose for dog to drink.
Very clean, nice area. Will definitely be returning and recommending to others. Nicole L.

55Visited on dark coldish evening - nicely lit space with some fun agility equipment. My dog is skittish so we didn’t use the tunnels. First time effort went well until I ran out of treats! He loved the smells and off leash time. Great facilities for both dog and humans!!Sarah J.

55Amazing area to get some energy out and experience something new. Finn loved the tunnel and warmed up to a few other jumps. Highly recommend this spot if you have a high energy dog. Meagan B.

55From the moment we pulled up to the Old Mystic K-9 adventure park, we knew it was an ideal set up. The area was well marked and very welcoming, with a holiday banner and informational signage. Before letting our dog off leash, I walked the area’s interior and perimeter. The yard, fencing, and obstacles were all in excellent condition. Our blue heeler mix rescue was in seventh heaven. As soon as we let him off leash, he made a beeline for the tunnel and repeatedly ran back-and-forth through it before emerging and eventually casually sniffing the other obstacles in the park. My husband and I were surprised at how comfortable he seemed. He was not at all concerned about the other scents in the area, but was more intrigued with all the agility “jobs” he was able to do. The host thought of absolutely everything- water dish, hose, snacks and water for people, sitting area, tennis balls, poop bags, waste receptacle, designated area to hang the leash etc. We had booked a full hour, but our normally energy-filled dog tired out after only 35 minutes! We took breaks, rested and relaxed, and let him explore the area. It was a great afternoon. Having access to a private, fun agility park and watching our reactive little guy shine without having to worry about off-leash dogs approaching was simply priceless. Jen K.

FAQ about our Union 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 Union 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 121 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 23 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.
