55This spot is such a gem! It's clean, huge, well maintained, and full of everything pups and people might need for a successful visit. Pippi had such a great time sniffing and galavanting around the open spaces, digging in the sand, and even surprised us by wanting to try out some agility obstacles. It's a great place for us to work on her off leash recall as well. We can't wait to visit again.Megan A.

55I have a people and dog reactive dog that I took here for her first sniff spot experience. I have nothing but positive things to say, the yard space was huge and plenty of room for her to run around, sniff, and play fetch. There were tons of toys available even though we brought her favorite one with us. She has been trained with agility and running the course there was a lot of fun! The owners were out gardening but even though she could see them, she was fully relaxed in the space and didn’t feel the need to react. I will definitely be booking this spot againKim P.

55Absolutely fantastic experience, we tired these pups OUT. So much room for activities, agility, and the pools they had were perfectly sized. Gideon took a nice dip and spent a good 20 minutes cooling off with them. 10/10 would go to this sniff spot again!Joshua P.

55We have been in Texas for 6 months and this is Baxter!/ first time back at this SniffSpot. Still clean, with lots of toys, balks, he wanted all the balls! The host came out and told us we could fill one of the pools. Another Baxter favorite. Thank you for being a safe, clean, happy place for our fur baby. Valerie D.

55Dogs loved the big area to run they were tired after 15 minutes. Lots of toys obstacles and stuff for them to play. A sitting area where you are offered coffee and water for the dogs. All fenced in which is awesome with our new adopted dog. We will definitely book again. Will T.

55We have been lucky enough to come here often over the last several months & it never disappoints. The property is fun for the pups & relaxing for the humans. When my 4 year old gets to tag along I don’t know who is more excited, her or the pups. Laura M.

55Our parents were dog sitting while we were on vacation and we wanted to give them a safe place to let our dog run. We were so lucky to find this place! Melodie was so accommodating and easy to reach if they needed her. They said it was so easy to find the entrance and the facility was very safe and entertaining for our dog. We can’t wait to go back ourselves! Thank you Melodie!Eric M.

FAQ about our Gilmanton 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.
