Birch Star Farm - 47 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Ballston Lake | Sniffspot
55This is a very nice area away from the road. There was no traffic going down the gravel path. Once you get there you can park at the pond. It's very cute. The dogs love swimming. There's woods for them to run through field for them to run through. Plenty to explore. Through the woods, your dogs need to have good recall because you can't walk very far into the woods, but they can since there is a bit of thick mud and broken fallen short trees and shrubs . The place was very clean. I was not worried about them at all. My dogs had a wonderful time and I loved bringing them here Will definitely be backAngela P.

FAQ about our Berne dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
