55Both dogs had a blast. It was a hot day and they found the stream in which to jump in and out. Lots to sniff and they left the horse alone behind the fence when I instructed them. So we didn't seem to bother that beautiful animal. I think my dogs would go online themselves to book another visit asap :) Maria C.

55Beautiful and clean property, with lots of space to roam. Lots of toys to choose from, and Judith very thoughtfully left a big bucket of fresh, cold water for Misha to drink and dunk her face into because it was so hot. This sniffspot also offers surprisingly great bird watching too :) Christine B.

55Daisy had a great time this morning and so did I, watching & playing with her off leash. She loved the toys, and sniffed every inch of the large yard. She really loved seeing the horse too. The yard was clean, safe and had all the amenities you could want, including water for Daisy. She exhausted herself running & playing. It’s really great for those of us without fenced yards to have big, safe spaces for our dogs to be dogs. We’ll be back! Paula M.

55Great SniffSpot! My two pups had a blast cruising around the huge yard. The fence was secure and the yard was clean and well maintained. I was grateful to have safe place to let them run and explore. The gate to the driveway does have a gap big enough for a small escape artist to get under, and there are some brushy areas where the dogs went out of sight, but I cruised around the yard before letting them out, and the fence is very secure. It was a fun outing and my dogs were pooped from the exercise and excitement!Melissa T.

55Great spot to stop and help break up an 8-hour road trip with the dogs. They both loved all the sniffing and especially loved the little trails along the fence line. There was fresh water waiting and nice cool concrete for my one dog to relax on and just take in the smells and scenery. becka w.

55Loved the property! Unfortunately, once my dogs noticed the beautiful horses, they became obsessed with getting closer to them. I felt bad that the horses were being barked at, so dragged my reluctant dogs to the car. Nevertheless, they had a good run and got lots of energy out. Arlene R.

55Our two dogs enjoyed racing and chasing across the expansive, sunny lawn and practiced their agility skills on the jumps and weave poles that are provided. Please note that our older dog had a first-time encounter with the horse in the adjoining pasture, which involved some barking before he settled down. I think it was a positive new experience for him, but I hope the horse didn't mind too much. All in all, a great spot. Thank you as well for the dog toys and drinking water.Alison K.

FAQ about our New Paltz 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. 98% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the New Paltz 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 73 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 30 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.
