55As always, an amazing time. The heater was great and we enjoyed the new confidence building stations.
55Loved all of the fun agility equipment, the space to run and the cleanliness!
55Loved playing with my puppy, Georgie today. The area was very clean and well thought out. Thank you for sharing your space.
55Great sniff spot! I have been here twice, and I lots space for doggies to run free. Fun toys, agility, and great communication.
55First visit to a sniff spot. We have a new dog that’s about 10 months old. Wanted a safe place to practice off leash recall and this was great. I felt very secure and we learned he’s not ready for the woods. He found a ball he was quite enamored with. He was curious about the agility training, but not there yet. Plenty of space in sun and shade.
55Great spot! There is so much to explore and so many toys to pick from. I was very aware of the chickens becuase I wasn't 100% confident that might dog wouldn't be obsessed, instead he he just toy obsessed. Lots of room to run fast, climb hills of dirt and climb.
55My dogs love this SniffSpot! Lots of different things for them to play on and tons of toys to play with. They love running around the yard and through the wooded area! Traci was super accommodating as well and even left a small gift for our lab’s birthday! Would definitely recommend!
55Excellent place! My dog had a great time exploring, smelling, playing on the equipment and running as fast as she could. I barely managed to get photos she was so excited. I was pretty sure she'd be okay with the chickens, but brought her by on a leash the first time just in case - and was prepared to keep her leashed if it was a problem. She was well behaved. She loved the smells of the coop and wood pile. And kept coming back to say hi to the chickens. They were unflappable. ;)
55Amazing! We had a great time. Lots of structures, equipment, and fun things to do with your pup. Many different areas to explore throughout the backyard. Our pup loved the woods. Super secure, clean, thoughtfully designed, and well-cared for.
55Wonderful spot!

We currently have 2 chickens in residence on the property. Dogs who have not yet experienced chickens will find this area fascinating and rich with smells. Our chickens are used to dogs, but please do not let your dogs bite and pull at the coop and bark excessively at the ladies. If your dog has a high prey drive and you are concerned about them being fixated on our hens, choose "Hide Chickens" under Extras when booking.

Description

Are you a member of the Golden Dog Club? Membership has its benefits, including a $5 off coupon code for visits to the Golden Dog Playground. To learn about the many benefits of membership, visit: https://goldendognh.com/membership. Announcing the Golden Dog Playground set on over 5 acres of land in Barrington, NH, with just over 1 acre of the space fenced in. We believe dogs are family so we have worked hard to create a customized experience for you and your furry family that you will remember forever. We offer two separate fenced-in areas that connect. Are you looking to expose/introduce two dogs in a safe and welcoming environment where you can monitor their body language and temperament? If yes, then our space is perfect. Each dog can have their own fenced-in area to play and observe or open the gate and connect the two spaces for your dogs to explore all that we have to offer. We also offer confidence building equipment, a digging station, stretching board, pools for water (seasonal) and sensory play, enrichment toys, natural fitness stations and more! Have a special request or need? Let us know. We are happy to accommodate if we are able! During the fall/winter, a jug of water and clean bowl will be available for your dog to use during your visit. You will find this located in the seating area. Enjoy our enrichment toys and when your dog is done playing, simply leave them in the bucket provided for cleaning and sanitation for the next furry friend. Waste pick up is simple and easy. You will find poop bags in our mailbox located just inside the entry gate. Please pick up and dispose of waste in the garbage pail found near the mailbox. We can't wait to welcome you to our Golden Dog Playground - an oasis set among the woods with distance from the road and neighbors. **Stay connected to what is happening at the Playground though our online Community.

Cleanliness

99% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

**NOTE: this time of year (fall) acorns are falling from the trees. You may hear them hit the roof of the chicken coop or the porch, which makes a loud sound. Also, there is a potential of being hit if standing under the oak trees so please be aware and stand under the pergola canopy when under the trees.** Sturdy wire fencing encompasses the Golden Dog Playground. If your dog is very small they could possibly fit through the spaces between the gates and fences and the fence and side of our house. In addition to the entrance gate, there is an emergency exit gate as well as 3 gates, which are locked, along the back fence in the woods. There is a wood pile under the solar array where little critters like to live and hang out. Please be aware in case your dogs have a high prey drive that they may be particularly interested in this area. There are so many fun things for your dogs to engage with at the Playground, including a digging station, enrichment toys, a stretching board, confidence building equipment, natural fitness stations, chickens, and more (seasonally)! **We do advise that your dog wears a harness and that you guide them on the confidence building equipment to avoid injury.** The forest area has been blown free of debris, but rocks, roots, sticks, will be visible from storms/wind. We work diligently to keep these areas clean and safe. The back lawn can be a bit uneven due to settling of loam/rocks. There are also compost bins on the property. They are enclosed but something to be aware of. There are Hosta plants and other ornamentals within the fenced-in areas (seasonal). There is a landscaped area near our porch with rocks, a fire pit, chairs and ornamentals. This area is fenced off. Please do not let your dog enter this fenced off area. There are 2 chickens enclosed in a separate fenced-in area on the property. If your dog has a high prey drive and you are concerned about them being fixated on our hens, choose "Hide Chickens" under Extras when booking. This feature is available for early AM and late PM visits.
