55Beautiful, well kept and it was enjoyable knowing that there won’t be any off leash dogs without recall coming towards you. Lynn was very responsive when we had some questions and everything went smooth! Emira F.

55Best Sniffspot in New England. The trail was beautifully kept. Easy to follow. The brook is a treat ! Parking was easy. Boy the trail was steep ! I wasn’t emotionally prepared for that. Can’t wait to come back. Magaly S.

55I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed walking in the woods with my dog. She’s become too reactive to take to public trails. This was such a gift! Beautiful wildflowers and songbirds too. We will be back soon and often. Can’t thank you enough for sharing your space with the community ❤️🐾Gwendolyn C.

55Be prepared with bug spray and an uphill attitude! This place is incredible! The trail wound for about 1.25 miles before things started getting overgrown, but that was long enough to tire out my pup after the uphill and being able to run wherever she pleased! The brook runs beside the trail most of the way and was a welcome reprieve for the hot dog! We will definitely definitely be back! Thank you for opening up your space like this, it's amazing!

55What a great place to let your dogs roam free! They loved the brook and that ran along the trail! It was a challenging hike but tired everyone out…humans included! Definitely would book again! Casey D.

55What an absolute gem this spot is! We have 3 labs and one is reactive so he doesn’t get to go hiking with us. He smiled ear to ear today and came out of the stream and gave us the biggest kiss! This spot is doggy heaven! It’s a real hiking trail that runs along side a beautiful stream so the dogs are able to cool off along the way. It is very steep but it was a great workout for all of us! Will definitely make this a spot we visit often so our reactive pup can experience Vt the way it’s supposed to be experienced! Everything was very clean and well marked. Jenny S.

55Our first time using Sniffspot and couldn’t be happier. Very smooth and easy booking process with SniffSpot and the property owner. Thank you Lynn for sharing such a beautiful property with public. One of our dogs is reactive and always have to be leashed on hikes, this was such a treat for all of us to be free of worry and exploring the woods and water along the trail. Alexa H.

55The trail was great! Steep and challenging. It is a hike more than a walk in the woods. The stream was a great feature! I have missed hiking so much since we got our boy and had to give it up due to his reactivity and the amount of off lease dogs out on the trails. This was just perfect. A real hike and all to our selves! We could just enjoy and not be worrying the whole time if someone was around the next bend. Our boy Murphy loved it and he listened so well and enjoyed the freedom. Thank you so much for the opportunity to give this to him and us! Nothing against the spot, but due to the heavy rain we have had this year the trail is muddy and slippery in many places so just be aware. We will definitely be back!Chrystal H.

55Brook Run has become our favorite spot! The pups just love running through the woods exploring and cooling off in the river. The spot is also very well marked with signs as well as tree marks along the trail. It’s total fun and freedom for the pups! Jenny S.

55This was my first time using the trail and it was so nice to be able to let my dogs run without having to worry about running into any other dogs or people! It was a great little hike and my pups had a great time and are very tired. I highly recommend visiting!! Francesca P.

55It was nothing short of wonderful to have our dog off leash on a trail! The buffer of acreage was comforting. It’s a beautiful space to practice recall, exercise your dog in natural surroundings, and reinforce your relationship with your pet. Our dog clearly said “thank you” to us more than once. We look forward to returning!

55Decided to finally check out the trail for myself after recommending it to others and I was not disappointed. All dogs had a blast including my 14yo who was able to maneuver up the terrain. It is steep and parts of the trail are muddy or not well defined, but it allowed my dogs to exert a ton of energy. The trail follows along a stream and is primarily shaded. I recommend allocating 1.5hrs to ensure you have enough time to enjoy the water features. We will definitely be visiting again! Karen B.

55Such a great hike! We did about 2 miles in an hour and 20min. Gus had so much fun and especially loved cooling off in the stream on the way up and back. The trail was well marked, wide and not terribly muddy. Will definitely come back and 10/10 recommend! Emily R.

55We had an excellent time on this trail! Very quiet and beautiful space with a steep incline which was an awesome workout for both people and dogs. There’s a stream directly beside the trail we chose to walk so the dogs could dip in and cool off continuously. We will be back!!Maggie C.

55We always have a great time! Our dog loves splashing in the brook along the trail. It was also nice and private so he could explore safely. The trail is well marked and separated from the dog park spot by hedges. Meghan L.

55Great hiking trail for my dog and I. Quiet enough he could go off leash for a while. My first Sniffspot adventure but I am sure not my last. The address was not easy to find as there was no road sign and parking was a little confusing when we did arrive. But all in all a good hike. Joanne M.

FAQ about our Waterbury Village Historic District dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
How can I find dog fields in Waterbury Village Historic District?
There are 10 dog fields in the Waterbury Village Historic District area. The most popular dog field is Brook Run Dog Trail. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends 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. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Waterbury Village Historic District area range from $10.0 and $10.0. The least expensive dog field is Brook Run Dog Trail. The most expensive dog field is Brook Run Dog Trail. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
