55We had a calm and peaceful start to our day together—practicing off-lead proximity walking while exploring the property. We both enjoyed watching the chickens as well!
55I cannot wait to bring my dog here again!! Everything was clearly marked, and there were so many things for Biggs to do. Lots of confidence-building equipment, tons of new scents for him, a fenced in, wooded area for him to explore off leash, and he was fascinated by the chickens! This is such a cool gem of a place to bring your dog or dogs; Biggs & I will definitely be back! Thank you for this amazing set up, Traci & Ray!
45This is a great spot and I enjoyed checking out all the new features. The new bridge and paddleboard were fun! Moreso than before, the equipment and toys feel geared toward medium-large dogs. Be prepared with a good harness to help your small dog/puppy/senior safely on and off everything, and don't visit with your tiny dog who has no self preservation and your senior who shouldn't be jumping off surfaces at the same time like I did 😅 The gap between the entrance gate was big enough for my 9lb chi (wasn't a problem for us with so much space to roam, but do be aware if you have an escape artist).
55Our foster pup loved being off-leash and was excited to sniff it all. These hosts seem to have thought of everything! They definitely care about enriching lives of dogs.
55This was an amazing location and the dogs had so much fun!
55The dogs had a great afternoon playing at the playground today! The new equipment is wonderful, and it gave them the opportunity to try different things!
55What a great spot! Everything was fantastic! The two fenced areas is perfect for introducing new friends! Will definitely be back!
55So much fun to explore! You will want to visit again soon. Thanks for creating such a thoughtful and enriching space for dogs and their humans.
55Moose thoroughly enjoyed his time. I will be back. Very accommodating with toys, water station, sitting area, and obstacle course. Highly recommend if you don't have the area for your dog to run free and explore.
45Great safe space for the dogs to run around and explore. It gave a great opportunity to work on recall for my younger dog, with the added chicken distraction. Lots of opportunities to do agility work if interested as well, but dogs struggled with those parts, but I'm just starting agility work.

Description

**Stay connected to what is happening at the Playground though our online Community. Get updates on new additions, toys, specials, closures, 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. We also offer a hose and sprayer as well as dry towels (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. You will 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.

Hazards

Sturdy wire fencing encompasses the Golden Dog Playground. If your dog is very small they could possibly fit through the spaces between the gates and fences and the fence and side of our house. In addition to the entrance gate, there is an emergency exit gate as well as 3 gates, which are locked, along the back fence in the woods. There are so many fun things for your dogs to engage with at the Playground, including a digging station, enrichment toys, a stretching board, confidence building equipment, natural fitness stations, chickens, and more (seasonally)! **We do advise that your dog wears a harness and that you guide them on the confidence building equipment to avoid injury.** The forest area has been blown free of debris, but rocks, roots, sticks, will be visible from storms/wind. We work diligently to keep these areas clean and safe. The back lawn can be a bit uneven due to settling of loam/rocks. There are also compost bins on the property. They are enclosed but something to be aware of. There are Hosta plants and other ornamentals within the fenced-in areas (seasonal). There is a landscaped area near our porch with rocks, a fire pit, chairs and ornamentals. This area is fenced off. Please do not let your dog enter this fenced off area. There are 2 chickens enclosed in a separate fenced-in area on the property. If your dog has a high prey drive and you are concerned about them being fixated on our hens, choose "Hide Chickens" under Extras when booking. This feature is available for early AM and late PM visits.
