55First time visit to a sniff spot. Our pup is 10 mo old and really enjoyed his visit. There is so much room! He was all over sniffing and exploring . The chickens were an added bonus for him. For us, an hour is too long a visit. He was pooped after 30 mins. I can see a place like this being perfect if you have 2 or more dogs to bring. Wendy E.

55We had a blast! My pups had so much fun and it’s great to see my little ones confidence climbing the hay stack and tires. And my older dog was fun to see him use some of the agility equipment. We loved the extra options! We will be back for sure! Rebecca B.

55Our second trip to the playground did not disappoint! We were pleasantly surprised to find some more fun thing to play on, through and around. Michelle M.

55The Golden Dog Playground just continues to impress us and entertain our dogs. Rocky and Juniper know where we are going before we get there - and Juniper, who is our shy girl - gets super excited as we hit the driveway.
Traci keeps finding new ways to add enrichment options and value to their SniffSpot, which makes it fun for canine and human alike. This visit we enjoyed having the heater available so after doing some dog parkour, we could take a break and sit under it for a quick warm up while the dogs continued to explore the woods. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Terrie H.

55What an amazing place for our very first Sniffspot experience. So much to do, clean, easy to find and navigate. We loved it and are excited to go back againDiane S.

55My dogs had a great time at this Sniffspot! One of my dogs has a high prey drive so the chickens were hidden for us which was very helpful! They loved running around the large area and through the woods. They also loved the digging area and the toys that were provided! Will definitely come again. Sarah F.

55My dogs had a BLAST! There were so many fun smells for them to check out but not to mention the awesome agility / parkour equipment too! Their favorite part was the fenced in wooded trail, they ran their hearts out! Erica M.

55What a wonderful experience for my reactive pup! She had a chance to run and sniff so many new smells. We were worried about the chickens, but they were well hidden and absolutely no issues. I’d highly recommend the Golden Dog Playground.Samantha B.

55Spot was very easy to get to. Everything was clean and nice. My dog really enjoyed spending the first 15 or so minutes exploring and sniffing, and the rest of the time zooming around, exploring the equipment with me, and playing retrieval games with a tennis ball. It was quiet and peaceful. A perfect spot for both me and my dog. If I lived closer, we would visit often! We'll definitely still make the trip out every now and then to enjoy everything that the Playground has to offer.Natasha G.

55We had our pups birthday party here with his cousin and they just played and played! They were so much more active here than at the dog park, so much stimulating things to play with! Hosts are very kind. The heat lamp and chairs were very cozy! We will be back! Katelyn P.

55This is an outstanding SniffSpot. It’s clean, quiet, secluded and secure. My dogs and I appreciate that not only does it have a wide open lawn area to play in (along with fun things to play on), it has an extensive wooded area with lots to sniff as well. Even better, the wooded area is largely clear of undergrowth, which makes it easy for humans to walk and greatly reduces the chances of ticks and other hazards. Having two separate fenced areas is a nice perk too - in my case today I brought both my old girl and my adolescent dog, and my vet has advised that we not let them play together as my boy can be too rough. It allowed me to have both dogs out in interesting areas at the same time without worrying about them getting too rowdy together. The hosts have given a lot of thought to providing everything a visitor could want, and even sanitize bowls and toys between visitors to reduce exposure to viruses. The only thing missing from my wish list would be a portapotty (well that, a place to swim, and having this place just up the road from me instead of a half hour’s drive away! 😉). Highly recommend!Elizabeth C.

55Visiting this SniffSpot was an absolute treat! I’m a pet sitter (TailsAndTrailsNH.com) and I brought a client’a pup here for a little field trip and we had a blast. He got to try agility equipment for the first time (turns out he’s pretty good!) and got to enjoy running around off leash, sniffing to his hearts content, in a safe, secure environment.
The fenced area was diverse with both open space and lightly wooded areas and there was no shortage of things to do. All of the equipment was in excellent shape and clearly well maintained!
The host of the SniffSpot was excellent to communicate with and replied to my messages quickly, even though she wasn’t home which I really appreciated.
I can’t wait to come back, especially in the summer once the weather is warmer!Keleigh L.

55Our second time going & it was just as amazing as the first time!!! The host provides everything you could need. Poop bags, a bin for poop bags, toys, water. I asked to have the space heater on & it was absolutely perfect. Emily F.

55We brought our very fear reactive dog Cash to the playground this afternoon. He loved it! As expected he was on alert most of the time being in a new place but he was able to sniff, explore and just be a dog with no worries for us about people or dogs coming along. He loved climbing on the tires, hay bales and tree stumps. Thank you for providing a safe space for reactive dogs to enjoy.Marianne T.

55Fantastic spot! The yard is huge and has two separate areas that are gated off from one another allowing us to work on our dogs’ reactivity. Beautiful property, lots of activity and toys. Highly recommend!Lauren C.

55This was our second time here and my dogs just love this place! So much room to run around and things to explore, climb, and play with. They love to go visit the chickens. So many toys. I love that there are places to sit ( though I mostly follow my dogs around), the heater is a great addition, even though I didn’t use it, it’s great to know it’s there if I wanted to. Will definitely try and visit regularly. Thank you so much for a wonderful spot to bring our dogs!Tracey M.

FAQ about our Barrington 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 Barrington?
There are 27 dog fields in the Barrington area. The most popular dog field is Golden Dog Playground. 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 Barrington area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog field is Jasper Springs Cattle Ranch. The most expensive dog field is Jasper Springs Cattle Ranch. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
