55The yard was very secure, clean, and large. There was plenty of room for my pup and I to run around! Mary Ann was out in the back when my dog and I arrived and she was very understanding when I let her know that my dog is reactive and wouldn’t do well with meeting her, going inside right away. We will definitely come back!Jenna S.

55Lovely couple! I did go when it was dark because one of our big dogs is more comfortable at night when it's quite out. My dogs loved running around this yard. Just be careful with smaller dogs. My small 12 pound miniature schnauzer did find a way out by the gate entrance trying to follow me out to my car when I went to get a toy. But I was comfortable knowing my dog doesn't leave/runaway on her own. 5 stars!Lizbeth J.

55Great yard to throw the ball for my dog. She doesn’t get along with other dogs & I don’t have a yard, so this is perfect. We definitely will be back!! Abby N.

55Wow! Leo and Mary Anne have the PERFECT backyard for dogs to hang and play or- as in my case - train! There is plenty of shade, water if you need it and a secured yard with no activity in neighboring yards. I'll definitely be coming back for future training. Book with confidence - this is exactly as pictured! Gabrielle J.

55My dog Buddy loved the open space to run and sniff I loved the openness of this property as Buddy always in sight. Nice shade tree and deck to use. Has water hose and dish plus small trash can for poop bags. Neighborhood 😊. Thank you. Phyllis M.

55First time using Sniffspot. Great location! Lots for my dog to smell and plenty of yard to run around with him. Being our first time, he was just getting used to the space. He’s still a puppy and kind of barky. I hope to return so he feels comfortable. We are heading out of town with him in a couple weeks and trying to help him less anxious of being in places other than at home. Water provided. And balls!Cathy M.

FAQ about our Barrington 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Barrington 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 370 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 46 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.
