55Fantastic spot! We were there on a cold and windy day and having the barn to duck into with comfortable seating and a heater was an extra bonus. Very spacious, well kept and clean. Lots of room for dogs to run/roam and plenty of equipment provided for activities and games to play with your dog as well. These hosts have put a lot of thought and effort into making this a great spot to visit! Gates and fences totally secure. We had an awesome time and will definitely visit again! Amy W.

55We love this spot! We hadn’t been in a while, and there’s more space and more agility equipment than last time. It’s perfect for both my runner/fetcher and for my sniffer/explorer. If we lived closer, we’d be here every week! Lisa D.

55First time visitors and we loved it. Great play area with toys and obstacles, very thoroughly fenced in gave us a good sense of security. It was a crisp and windy day so the heated warming station and bathroom facilities were very much appreciated. Our pup came home tired and happy! Melodie and Anthony (?) were very friendly and helpful but let us do our own thing at the same time. Rob S.

55This was the perfect spot for our dog to run around. Plenty of space for him to safely run and play. He enjoyed some of the agility obstacles and playing with the toys in the yard. Definitely a great time!Kelli W.

55This is our 2nd time to this Sniffspot with our leash reactive pup & it is so nice to give her a large area where she can sniff a ton safely without worrying about inbound dogs. The property has expanded since we were last there & the hosts do a great job with the space! So many different activity areas, a perimeter path, large boulders, etc. We love it!Jael M.

55This place never disappoints. We arrived with a little rain but the dogs didn't care. Both dogs got a lot of exercise and are snoring up a storm cause of it. I love finding the chuck it balls all over. I carry the tool so I can keep Legacy running. She also adores the orange herding ball. Karma likes to check out his pee mail and leave some for others.
Thank you Melody for offering this safe piece of heaven for us at a reasonable price. I see others are hosting at much higher prices for a lot less than we get at yours so we really appreciate you keeping this affordable for all of us. I also appreciate the Easter scene and all the other fun things you are doing. You are amazing. Darlene S.

55Melodie’s property is beautiful. It was great enrichment for my dog. Many toys, agility equipment, chairs all around and so much more. There was a nice enclosed area with water, towels, blankets and a gas heater. I will be back again! Lucia M.

FAQ about our Gilmanton 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Gilmanton area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 47 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 9 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
