55Really awesome spot, both the pup and I loved it. He had a blast frolicking in the grass and running up and down the fence chasing squirrels and chipmunks. The property is huge and there was plenty to sniff and explore. '
I did have to put him on a longline after he tried to get out of the wire fencing after a chipmunk. He's 32 lbs and a bit stocky, but was still a concern as he's on the smaller side. A note to anyone with a smaller, prey driven dog like Cooper. Still, we had a wonderful time and bonus for me, an avid birder: I saw two Merlin (small falcons) chasing each other over the property for a good 20 minutes. Will definitely be back!Kelly L.

55Great spot and so much open running space! A cat did come into the field and my dog was interested/chased but it went through the fence. There are a few spot where the gate/fence meets that a dog can go through if motivated to ;) Laura A.

55The space is huge! It was well fenced. The gate is on the right just as you pull in. You will sometimes see sheep but they’re in a fenced area that has another fenced paddock blocking the big field.
We will absolutely be back. Breanne L.

55Huge fenced in area, my dog had a blast sniffing, exploring and playing with his toys. I didn't see a single dog poop but there is some sporadic sheep poop as to be expected from the location. My dog unfortunately thought the sheep poop was yummy. Would definitely reccomended as long as you don't mind a few sheep poop pellets. There was some mud, also to be expected in March, I appreciated the owner's recommendation to wear boots and bring a towel for your dog. Kathryn M.

55The location was easy to find. I wasn't sure where to park exactly but nobody seemed bothered by where I parked. There is so much space in the field to roam, play, and sniff. I had read the reviews before going so I knew there would be some sheep pellets and luckily my dog wasn't that interested in them but if your dog is a Hoover take that into consideration. Found a tick on the way out so definitely do a check before you leave. Excellent spot to wear your pup out!Holly C.

55Great, pleasant spot! Lots of room for our two large dogs to run and play. Tons of interesting smells for them. We initially weren't sure what our dogs would think of the chickens, but they were curious but polite. And the chickens seemed totally unfazed by two strange dogs peering at them through the fence.

55Great spot, friendly host, fencing was secure along the entire perimeter. Plenty of open space and we enjoyed the woodsy areas along the back and side of the yard as well. The chickens were well protected in their area and appeared unbothered and maybe just as curious about my dog as he was of them. We also bought a dozen fresh eggs that I tried upon returning home, delicious!Kathryn M.

55The area is enclosed and spacious. The lawn trim and the area clean. I went with my two dogs, and I felt comfortable with letting run around and do their thing. One of my dogs is reactive to other dogs; he jumps and lunges at other dogs especially behind barriers, making it difficult for him to socialize with other dogs. This SniffSpot let him stretch his legs at a new, secure location that was stimulating for him.Adam S.

55We brought an active german short haired pointer who loves to play fetch that we were dog sitting. Our yard, while fenced in, is just too small for her level of energy. The "field" area was perfect for her - she LOVED it. She is not much of an explorer but we did walk around a bit and it felt secure, as described. We heard a lot of barking when we first arrived but the dogs inside quieted down within a few minutes. Thank you so much for allowing visitors via sniffspot! Caren C.

55This is my go to spot, today I brought my sister and her dog to meet my reactive dog and it was amazing. We didn't have to worry about other dogs/people and could really watch their interactions without worry which for a reactive dog mom is the biggest relief in the world. Denny got to see chickens up close and that was a blast! We live this spot and will keep coming backEmily T.

55This spot is absolutely amazing. Completely fenced in so I did not have to worry about my curious boy getting out. There is plenty of space to explore through the woods and a huge clearing to throw the ball. The chickens are such a special feature of this spot, my dog was fostered on a farm before he came to MA so he was so excited to see the (very well contained) chickens! Thank you, Shana for a wonderful experience! Looking forward to coming back soon.Isabel T.

55This is an amazing place for my reactive dog. He and I both were able to let go of most of the worries that come with a normal walk and he could truly enjoy being a dog. He ran around and had so much to sniff he was asleep 10 minutes of being back in the car. I will be using this place again, it was so worth it. Stephanie L.

55So much fun to watch my dog and her friend Fig race around this wonderful property! Wear your boots because there is a lot of poop around that was probably left from other renters. But other than that, it was an amazingly large space that my pup loved!!Becky P.

55Awesome! The yard is huge! Very secure fencing. Our 9 month old German Shorthair Pointer loved running around through the woods. We could hear some dogs barking at times, but they weren’t in view from the yard. No people either. He loved the chickens too! We’ll definitely be back! Abigail C.

FAQ about our Rockland 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.
