55I brought 3 dogs to play here and they had a blast!! Love the set up. It is still a bit chilly inside but definitely warmer than standing in the snow at the dog park. Will definitely be returning! Ashbell S.

55A great safe and large space to allow our reactive pup some time to run around stress-free! Instructions were clear. It was a bit chilly as there was a strong cross-breeze coming through the mesh window openings, but nothing extra layers couldn’t help! The cross-breeze made the mesh rattle a good amount, which might put off a more sensitive-to-noise dog, but it was no issue for us! We didn’t hear or see any animals or people while we were inside the barn, just on the drive up :) Angela S.

55I love this space! With a reactive dog, I especially love that the times are spaced out so you have the 30 min buffer so you won’t cross paths with another dog. Plus it’s always fun to see the sheep 🙂Krista V.

55Very clean, quiet place; newly harrowed sand. Dog Beau had an enjoyable run around. He generally tries to escape places, but there was no danger of him doing that here. It was great that the barn had openings along two sides for a cool breeze, and for natural light.Lynn M.

55First visit and we will definitely be back, my girl LOVED it. We have a rather large backyard but when she gets the zoomies there just isn't enough room. This space solved that issue for me and her. It was very quiet so she wasn't distracted by anything. She loved exploring the entire space. She was very happy and a very tired girl afterwards. Thanks for opening your space!Sabrina H.

55Great dry clean indoor arena for the doggos to stretch their legs out! Parking area was freshly graded after some rain (potential to get very muddy!). Kyla E.

55Another wonderful return to this fantastic space! We come from out of town and always ensure to book a time slot when we’re visiting family. The dogs love it and are tuckered out for when family events are on the go! Angela S.

55We had such a wonderful first time here with our three dogs. They struggle to play well with other dogs so having a private open space like this to run together is so appreciated! The owners are exceptionally kind as well! We will definitely be back and highly recommend!!!! Megan C.

55Perfect!!!! This was my first time using sniffspot or renting a private riding arena. With a mildly reactive, insecure and highly distractable young Rott, this big, safe, enclosed area with no other dogs or distractions was just what we were looking for, for a training/play/confidence building session. The facility was perfect and exactly as described. Couldn't be happier
Highly recommend. We will be back again and again. Thank you Bonfire Hill Farm!Brenda C.

FAQ about our Thorndale 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. 94% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Thorndale 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 125 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 12 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.
