This is such a beautiful and fun place. My Newfie loves it!
So much for our dog to explore! Safe environment, open space and wooded space, all fenced in. Janine thought of everything and made the experience so easy for us. Thank you for having us!
Host replied: So glad you and your reactive pup were able to enjoy some off leash stress free time together. Hope my dogs inside kept quiet for you. I’m usually home to referee to ensure silence but had a vet appointment with my two new rescues so was hoping blaring Animal Planet on the TV would do the job for me. Lol
Beautiful yard completely geared toward dogs having fun! plenty of room to wander, toys, a pool, wooded area, gardens. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us :)
Beautiful backyard. Thanks for letting us visit.
Incredible spot, very thoughtful amenities and a total dog haven!
Janine is an amazing host and truly does go above and beyond for her guests. We were celebrating our oldest boys 3rd birthday and arrived to find a gift bag full of toys and she even provides homemade treats for the furbabies. She really does think of everything. This is an amazing place and is for a great cause, all proceeds go to a rescue 💙 book your spot! You won't be disappointed! The bubble machine was a huge hit for our boys! We look forward to coming back.
Janine efforts and thoughtful details make her yard an incredibly fun and relaxing spot for dogs and owners. Her yard and gardens are lovely with plenty of space for zoomies and shade to stay cool. We were so appreciative to be able to swim in the spotlessly clean pool with our water loving GSD who is also fearful of dogs/reactive which makes finding swimming spots challenging. There were 3 water options and loads of fun toys. You can feel Janine’s joy and love for dogs all around. She took the time to decorate with birthday balloons, handmade treats, towels and cold drinks. Thankyou so much Janine!
Host replied: So happy you and your beautiful pups had fun! Im looking to add some fun agility equipment for next season…so stay tuned for some furry fun updates!
This is my second time visiting this amazing dog-friendly spot, and it continues to impress me. It's the perfect spot for dogs to have fun, especially on hot days. Jeanine provided a variety of toys and tennis balls for the pups to fetch and play with, which is fantastic. What really makes this spot stand out is the personal touch that Jeanine brings to it. She made treats for my furry babies, which was extremely thoughtful. I was surprised to see the bag with my name on it, which made the experience even more special. My pups absolutely adored the treats and finished them off on the ride back home. I can't recommend this place enough to other dog owners. It's a great spot for pups to let loose and enjoy themselves. My next visit can't come soon enough. Thank you, Jeanine, for providing such a wonderful and caring environment for our fur babies!
Host replied: I love seeing the happy dog faces when you post the pics…it brings me a ton of happiness💕
A very kind host who pulls out all the stops. My two pups loved running around the yard and digging in the sandbox. New to swimming, they were a bit shy around the water. Can’t wait to come back again.
Host replied: Thank you!
Beautiful property with lots of dog toys, a garden, a clean pool, and a ton of places to explore. The host is kind and communicative. Definitely recommend a visit!

I adore dogs, which is why I opened this spot which 100% benefits The Grateful Dog Animal Rescue, I take nothing except the joy of seeing happy dogs running in my backyard, which is payment enough for me. I also understand dog owners sometimes like to avoid dog parks or have reactive dogs that need a safe and secure space to just be a dog without the stress of other dogs or people. By coming to this spot you helped save a life today of a homeless or abused dog, so THANK YOU, we are incredibly grateful💕
Fully fenced in flat, spacious yard with gated entry. Plenty of parking in driveway for 3-4 cars.
**Stay connected with our Playground Community and get updates on new additions, toys, specials, and fun activities. Join our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goldendogplayground.** Announcing the Golden Dog Playground set on over 5 acres of land in Barrington, NH, with just over 1 acre of the space fenced in. We believe dogs are family so we have worked hard to create a customized experience for you and your furry family that you will remember forever. We offer two separate fenced-in areas that connect. Are you looking to expose/introduce two dogs in a safe and welcoming environment where you can monitor their body language and temperament? If yes, then our space is perfect. Each dog can have their own fenced-in area to play and observe or open the gate and connect the two spaces for your dogs to explore all that we have to offer. Included with other amenities, we offer confidence building equipment, a digging station, stretching board, pools for water (seasonal) and sensory play, enrichment toys, natural fitness stations and more! Have a special request or need? Let us know. We are happy to accommodate if we are able! Clean water bowls are also offered as well as a sink to easily refill and wash your hands or a toy as needed (seasonal). When done playing with the toys, simply leave them in the bucket provided for cleaning and sanitation for the next furry friend. On the back side of the house is a hose and sprayer as well as dry towels inside the bench (seasonal). Feel free to dry your dog off after splashing in the pool and wipe their feet before they hop back in your car. Simply leave the used towel on the bench and we will pick up. Waste pick up is simple and easy with the pooper scoopers and rakes we offer for disposing in our Doggie Dooley Septic Systems (seasonal). In cold weather, and year round, you will also find poop bags in our mailbox located just inside the entry gate. Please pick up and dispose of waste in the garbage pail found near the mailbox. We can't wait to welcome you to our Golden Dog Playground - an oasis set among the woods with distance from the road and neighbors.
Our farm is open fields, lots of riverfront area for dogs to swim, and in the summer grab some vegetables at the farm stand. There are ungroomed walking trails that go around the entire property. Center of property tends to be wet. There are a couple other dogs on site but they’re far away at the front farm house, very old and won’t bother you. My personal dogs will remain inside the house while you are here. Bring your own poop bags please. Dogs with good recall are allowed off leash, at your own risk, please. We love all breeds of dogs with every quirk and ability. We respect that all dogs have different temperaments; all dogs are welcome, no matter how they feel towards strangers or other animals. We will do our 100% best to ensure no person or domestic animal will bother you on your adventure here. We work in animal rescue and commit that all proceeds will go towards continue helping abandoned, abused, and neglected pets. Thank you for enjoying our peaceful space. Bring your boots and bug spray! :)
Winter Parking (if you can’t make it down the second driveway due to snow or mud) is at the bottom of my driveway. You’ll see the Sniffspot Parking Sign. Fully fenced in approximately two acres. We now have lighting for nighttime use. Remote switch for lights is located on the bulletin board in the barn. Approximately five times around the property perimeter equals a mile. We have chuck-it throws and balls, many toys and agility equipment in a large fenced area for you and your dog to romp around. Main entrance to the yard can be found by entering the second driveway and parking in the designated parking area in front of the solar barn. You may occasionally hear gun shots are we live near lots of woods. Feel free to reach out via text 603-682-7216 with any questions or concerns. Enjoy! Melodie
My name is Seth and I've been a lifelong dog owner. I've always loved getting out for adventures and finding new spots to let dogs romp off leash. My dogs Boss and Kona were temperamental with other dogs so it was always important to find safe spots to let them off leash. They were the inspiration for my fenced in backyard! Kona passed in September 2022 and Boss passed in July 2023, so I've opened up the space to those who might need a fenced in area to help their dog(s) expend that energy! We believe a tired dog is a happy dog, and an even happier owner 😉
Fully fenced in yard with plenty of space for dogs to run and play. Plenty of chairs and a bench for owners to utilize to relax. Once the weather warms up the gazebo onsite will be the perfect place to get some shade stocked with drinks for owners and treats for dogs! An onsite doggy pool will also be provided weather permitting.
Fully fenced in yard. Plenty of shade. Water available for pets.
Wide open, safe area for pups to run, sniff and lounge while mom or dad relaxes on the patio with full view of yard.
A fully fenced yard for you and your animals to run and roam! The Hawthorne has almost an acre of land for your doggo to explore! We are fully fenced in so y’all can run without worry! We have a hose and bowl outside for you to use for water. We have a large open area to play ball or frisbee and a meadow / English garden type area on the sides of the yard that provide fun terrain for your dogs to explore. The dogs are welcome to roam whenever they’d like, but please be mindful of what they eat since we have a native pollinator garden and make sure that they are treated for ticks because there are some areas that are wooded. That being said, our 15 year old girl only had 2 ticks on her in 12 years at this property. 😊 The yard is enclosed by a combination of a 6’ privacy fence, as well as a chain link fence that abuts the neighbors backyard (no dogs), and a white picket fence reinforced with chicken wire on one side. The shorter fence is on an embankment so it’s almost equivalent to our 6’ fence that surrounds most of the yard. We mow regularly. There is always ample, safe street parking directly in front of the Hawthorne Hotel, as well as on the side street where there is a convenient gate that leads directly to the back yard. Please be mindful of closing the gate behind you when you enter and exit as it requires a firm tug to latch. Contact us to get a viewing!
