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.

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.

55Great space with fully fenced in yard that kept my beagle in. The chickens were completely unfazed by the constant beagle howls and the coop was 100% secure. Owner offered to let her two lovely dogs out and my pup had so much fun playing with them. Bought some eggs on our way out and they are so fresh and delicious! 10 out of 10, will be coming againDeniz K.

55Very lovely yard. Host was great- she put her chickens back in their coop so my prey driven nut could focus on the rest of the yard. Thanks for a chance to give my pup a taste of freedom!! Will definitely be back!Jamie C.

55Our first sniff spot outing and it was great. My dogs loved the varied terrain. We have a small urban yard so it was great for my dogs to be able to run and explore a big fenced in area.

55It was absolutely amazing! Our pups totally enjoyed it! Each of my pups found something amazing.
My oldest, Dazzle, loved running all around and rolling in…grass 😃😉 Prosecco, the middle pup, loved finding a toy. He ran around throwing it up in the air and catching it again. Sooooooo exciting. My youngest Champ, 9.5months, loved the big open space. Ball. Frisbee. Chasing the others pups. Whatever. He was totally game.
The yard was completely fenced in. Planning to come back on a weekly basis. Because it’s that good. Kristen B.

55What your dog wants! What your dog needs! Humans may like a perfectly groomed park like atmosphere but dogs want to sniff and poke around. This spot has it all. Large, nicely mowed grass area to play ball or frisbee but also plenty of woodsy areas to sniff around and look for squirrels and chipmunks. Super private -- no worries about something setting off your reactive dog. This place is decompression for dogs and humans alike at its best. New fencing in the works but the old fencing is perfectly secure. We're moving into the area from out of town and the host has been friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We will be back! P.S. Get some awesome eggs while you're here. Tara S.

55Wonderful location- plenty of grassy areas, some wooded area around the edge, and what my dog found to be the most fascinating chickens. Our reactive dog spent most of the time sniffing around everywhere, and it was nice to be able to let him off the leash and just let him do his thing.
Shauna was super friendly and helpful! When we first arrived we were able to hear her dogs barking, but they quiet after that and we never saw them. If your dog is in the wooded area, they may also come within eyesight of some neighbors but the fencing is solid.
100% recommend- we will be back!Valerie Z.

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.

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.
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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Rockland area are 5 stars.
