55The play yard is an amazing spot for off leash fun. My 1 yr old was ecstatic to be able to explore and run full speed. We loved it! Plan to go back.
Very clean space with lots of natural forest to explore.
My 5 yr old loved jumping in the pool to cool down in between her sprints. Cathleen R.

55It was a drive for us but we’ll worth it. Ripley had a blast running around, spending time in the sandbox and getting in the pool!! She was obsessed with the chickens and wanted only to stay with them once she saw them. Hahah Thank you for having such a lovely place and sharing. Holly M.

55This was our first visit at the Golden Dog Playground and it exceeded our expectations. This place is a dogs dream! It definitely meets the needs of all kinds of dogs from ones who love to just use their nose and explore to those who prefer a good game of fetch. Beautiful quiet location. My shy dog felt safe and confident to freely explore, what a great experience for him! Thanks so much! I highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t been to this sniffspot to go check it out! We will be back!April H.

55Golden Dog Playground was wonderful! The area was clean, well maintained, and just as described. Traci was even kind enough to leave something special for my pup when I said we were there to celebrate his birthday! Thanks for sharing your place with us, we can't wait to return! Emily G.

55Great spot for all. We have a 12 lb Chi mix and he loved doing all the “big dog stuff”! He enjoyed climbing the hay bales and zipping through the woods the most!! Holly L.

55I wish that I could give this place more than a 5 star rating. I have visited many different places to have fun with my dogs, and this exceeded my expectations. It is the BEST Sniffspot I have ever visited.
First, I have 5 dogs ranging from 12# - 85#. I like to find places where they can all hang out and play together, which isn't always easy. I am a veterinarian and am really picky about where I let my dogs go, especially when there are outbreaks of respiratory disease in the area. This place is immaculate. All water dishes and toys are sanitized between visitors. The yard had NO waste from other dogs present. All toys were safe, no areas of the space seemed hazardous and there were so many places for the dogs to explore and climb as well as play. The second my dogs' feet hit the ground they were off and running in all directions. I didn't have to worry that one would get out and run off. It was very secure. I don't think I've seen my dogs that excited for a new location ever! Lots of natural logs and stumps to explore, hay bales to climb on, agility equipment and natural wooded areas to hunt and sniff.

55Golden Dog Playground = doggie heaven! Our little one had the best time playing in the yard. The variety of activities and terrain available is terrific and the place is immaculate. Lupe had a blast climbing on hay bales, tires and logs, going through the agility equipment and just running in the woods with abandon! She was very curious with the hens and loved sniffing all around! Thank you for the wonderful set up. It was a bit of a drive for us but so worth it! Tatiana C.

55This is a great spot for dogs to explore. It has a large variety of activities and toys and is very clean. One of the reasons I chose this spot is because it has 2 fenced areas. Which was so great to help my dog and new puppy socialize in a neutral space while also having their own individual areas. Thank you so much, we will be back!Bridget S.

55This was the 1st time that I have visited a sniff spot with my pup. Everything was perfect - there was so much to do and lots of space for Luc to really burn off her energy. She ran for the 1st 30 minutes exploring every corner. Afterwards she enjoyed splashing in the pool, visiting chickens, jumping on and off hay bales, and a super great assortment of tires to balance on. We practiced our parkour skills on stumps of different heights. She flew through agility tunnels and over jumps. She really enjoyed the freedom! Will definitely be back! Nancy A.

55Our first sniff spot experience & we will be coming back! It was absolutely perfect. I have a 5 year old dog who can sometimes be reactive and a 1 year old dog who I’m working on training with (he loves to eat poop), so dog parks are not a part of our lives. This was incredible. The 1 year old is not wireless fence trained at home yet so he’s always on a run or leash & he loved getting to run with his sister. The property was clean & well maintained.Emily F.

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.

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 29 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 $22.0 and $22.0. The least expensive dog field is Golden Dog Playground. The most expensive dog field is Golden Dog Playground. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
