55I live in an apartment complex where fenced yards are no existent. My trainer had given me the recommendation for Sniffspot and this course. We brought along her best friend and it was so fun to see them both get to interact as well as train them to feel comfortable with different jumps and the tunnel. It was an awesome experience I will be using again!Melanie L.

55This was my first time here and I was super pleased with this environment! My dog loved the agility tunnel and it was so nice to see fresh cleaned toys and even soap and water to clean the water bowl for him. Highly recommend and really look forward to bringing him back!Tiffany B.

55Hamlet has never done any agility work before, but he is the essence of a play-motivated dog, so we hoped he would respond to the obstacles as an adventure. Just as the same suggests, he got to experience that at the Old Mystic K-9 Adventure Park. At first he just ran around and explored all the exciting scents of previous visitors. Then we directed him to new fun things like different jumps, weaving through poles and exploring the tunnel. He got better and better over the course of the hour, and working with him in this beautiful environment was as joyous for us as it was for him. We will definitely be back, and bring a friend too!

55Cute little spot! This was my first sniff spot experience and we had a great time. Parked fully on the grass along front side of fence as instructed, gate was easy to use, very clear instructions posted everywhere. Water/dish and toys, snacks were in a sealed container and available. Would definitely return!Raechel D.

55My first visit to Mystic K9 Adventure Park today, and we will definitely be back! As soon as we parked, my pup was so excited—she saw the equipment in the fenced-in area and knew this was for her. She got out there and immediately started doing all the jumps. Whoever put this place together did a fantastic job and thought of almost everything! A comfortable place to sit, for you and your pup, water, and all the play a dog could want. An hour flew by, and we were back on the road. What a great day—we loved it! 5 stars!Nils J.

55Carlson was very accommodating for my last-minute request to visit. He even made sure to put out water and towels, as the ground was still a little damp from the recent rain. The yard was entirely secure; any gaps under the fence were blocked off with wood or cinderblocks. My dogs saw a few people and dogs walking by; they barked, but due to the structure of the fence, couldn’t see them very well. I wasn’t worried they would get out. The size of the yard was as expected and there were multiple toys out for my dogs to play with. Carlson even has a dog house and dog bed for use on the porch! An added bonus is all the wonderful restaurants and shops in Mystic just down the road that we stopped by after our trip. Lyndsay W.

55A quaint, mostly grassy, well-fenced yard with a bit of a water view, plus several toys (and a few toddler/K-3 type play items too)— it further has a shed and corner patch of pine trees with a path around back for those dogs that seem to like a bit of a place ‘to hide’ or get away (or where they think they’re not seen anyway, lol). We’ll come back. Michelle M.

55Great family style backyard setting. Secure fencing, water and toys provided. Maya loved sniffing around behind the trees and shed, going up and down the two sets of patio stairs and zoomies around and around the yard.Joan S.

FAQ about our Groton 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 Groton 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 107 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 14 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.
