55Beautiful Sniff Spot! Fence was very secure and lots of fun things for my Scarlett to check out. Very peaceful property. There are horses on the property, but plenty far enough away that my dog didn't notice they were there. Will definitely be back! Thank you for sharing your beautiful space❤️
55Thanks again for another great visit!
55Clean and overall a nice area for dogs to run and play!
55We had a wonderful time playing with Sadie. She was so excited to run and play. There was plenty of room for her to play, run and roll. We will definitely come back. I will recommend to my friends
55First time trying Sniffspot and it definitely did not disappoint! Very relaxing spot.
55Always a great time with the pup at this sniff spot!
55Great space, highly recommended! Private, fully fenced area, well maintained, and stocked with agility equipment and toys galore to borrow. There’s a kiddie pool to cool off in during the summer months, and enough room for my HIGH-energy dog to run herself silly. There are also some patches of tall, thick grass, great for snuffling and searching through (and losing a tennis ball or two in). Whether you’re looking for a place to run off some energy, work on agility or recall, or just spend an hour bonding with your pup, this is a great place to do it.
55My pup loved it! She did her sniff inspection of the area but once she approved the zoomies came out immediately! Tons of space to chase each other and gave our shot at the agility equipment! Would recommend :)
55The spot is exactly as stated, our pup really enjoyed the space! Not only was the gated space lots of fun for her to run around in but she also loved seeing the birds on the outside of the gate flying around. We will definitely be making this a weekly visit.
55The play spot was perfect. Well taken care of and so much room for the dogs to run. Would definitely return

Location

Farmington, New Hampshire

Description

September 28th- the pool is being taken down for the season today. Situated on a scenic working farm, the Pooch Playground spans about 1/4 acre and is fully enclosed. Tucked next to a small woodland area, this location offers enough distance from the house and barn for a feeling of privacy. The field adjacent to the area is preserved for wildlife. We mow the spot every week, except during drought conditions. We purposely maintain longer grass (2-3 inches instead of cutting it too short) to withstand high traffic and dog urine. We leave 'islands' of grass long for sniffing and exploration. Look at the pictures of the spot. If a toy ends up in the field and you don't want to walk through the tall grass, let us know, and we will retrieve it.

Cleanliness

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

Hazards

No small dogs (under 25lbs) until I am sure we have found and filled all of the gaps under the fence from uneven ground. Rocks in tall grass spots, possibly wild rose bushes with thorns popping up in non-mowed areas, wild mushrooms, wild roses growing against the fence on the woods side, ticks, thistle, hawks, and eagles. Possible holes from prior dogs digging. On your Sniffari walk you might encounter: Wild mushrooms, burs, thistle, ticks, bees, wasps, caterpillars, frogs, skunks, porcupines, bears, deer, coyotes, hawks, eagles, bobcats, old barbed wire, uneven ground, vines on the ground, rocks sticking up, roots, all the normal hazards that you would find in nature. Bald eagles and hawks hunt here, small dogs could be at risk, so do not leave them unattended. ELECTRIC FENCING around horse pasture.

Extras

Dog Training$60

Per hour. Basic obedience, confidence building for fearful dogs, separation anxiety. Ask.

Leashed walk around fields$0
