55We had an amazing time here with our dog, Choco! The entire property is so gorgeous. Right on the water, with plenty of room to run around, explore and lounge. Felt completely private. My dog felt completely comfortable here and it was just us, no other dogs or people. Definitely recommend. Carly W.

55A nice big and secure field, there’s dogs in yards butting up to the back gate of the field and you should check the gate on the left hand side and make sure it’s closed if you don’t want your dogs to go to the fence that is near the sheep, but it’s a very lovely spot and my dogs had an absolute blast. No issues with the fences or any kind of fence fighting.
This is a used field for sheep so there is sheep poop about, be aware if you have poop eaters or rollers! The farm owners are super amiable. Definitely recommend! We will be back!Samantha S.

55My lab enjoyed the wide open space + he covered the entire field!! What a wonderful place!! ❤️ he was curious about the sheep ( but they were in a field far away) I walked the entire place and it is totally fenced.I will be returning here...probably a couple of times a week. We brought our lawn chairs and cooler(non alcoholic beverages of course)dog bowl + water.This place is beautiful!! If you have a dog that needs to run; this is the place to go!! You could hear some dogs barking nearby, but couldn't see them. The host,I only saw briefly on the deck of the house. We had total privacy. We actually picked up menus at the pizza place and Chinese place. So we can pick up something afterwards. I highly recommend it here!Stephanie B.

55A nice, open spot! Sammy had lots of fun running and playing catch in the field! He loved smelling all the smells and it was very quiet and peaceful there. Beforehand we did the sheep herding training and he had lots of fun! We hope to come back and do the herding again along with the sniffspot! Kerryn D.

55This space is amazing! I brought two dogs and they had the best time having a safe space to run with no worries! Only call out would be this is a farm so there is poop in the field if you have a dog that will eat poop. My dogs were too busy playing fetch to even notice. We will be back- thank you!!!Kathleen B.

55Great spot to really run. The fencing was secure although a small and skinny dog might be able to squeeze through one of the gates, we had zero problems. The sheep could be heard but not seen from our location. There are couple of big trees in the field that offered some needed shade.Monica Z.

55Nice big space! My friends huskies were not able to be off leash as the fence was not high enough, but we all have an excellent time none the less! My dogs were so happy to be zooming around and smelling the smells!Vanessa S.

55Perfect spot for Australian cattle x Beagles dogs to burn off their energy. I don’t need to have my head on swivel with it being completely secured. The sheep were too far away but they were enchanted with them.
As a travel nurse I appreciate spaces like these will definitely be back!Lisa A.

55This is by far my favorite sniff spot. It takes 30 minutes to get here, but it’s worth it. Fence and secure -the smell of sheep, and grass that doesn’t have pesticides on it can’t get better than thatLisa A.

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.

FAQ about our Chatham 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 Chatham 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 17 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 2 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.
