55Everything was as described. The shade space was very nice and cool. My dog enjoyed exploring the the little bit of woods before she reached the fence. Fence was secure. We had lots of fun playing fetch with the provided toys. Will be back. Susan D.

55This is a great spot! No interruptions with other dogs or people. My dogs had been in the car for a few hours and we were on our way home- it was a great place to stop and stretch their legs. So many fun things in this spot too. They are leaving dirty and tired !Miranda J.

55Lots to do! Plenty of space for my pups to run around and have the comfort of knowing they’re safe inside the fence. There’s water to drink, plenty of signs to show you where to go. Also there’s doggie bags and areas to throw them out for when the dogs poop. Loved this place Amberlee P.

55Brought my dogs for one of their birthdays and they had a blast. They enjoyed their Frosty Paw treat. There was plenty of space for them to run around safely in and I didn’t have to worry about them because it’s fully fenced in. Will definitely bring them here again! Jessie F.

55Perfect for what I needed. Only stayed 30 min but my girl has not run like that in awhile so perfect. The yard was clean, a few toys to choose from minus the one my child threw in the pool 🙄. Owner of yard was very understanding about it. Will return soon given it's a 2 min drive from my house. Will recommend to anyone who is looking for a spot that's simple yet perfect. Thank you.

55That was fun! This was our first time using Sniffspot, and it's such a cool thing. My city dog needed to run free and touch grass so badly.
When we first showed up, there were squirrels right at the gate that ran inside the Sniffspot. My dog couldn't believe his eyes, lol. Once inside, he had no interest in playing fetch for the first 15 minutes as he ran around and checked out every single inch of the yard.
We found a giant praying mantis that seemed to be watching us. Then, we played toss and chased each other around. It's a clean yard with a beautiful, tall, secure private outer fence covered with trees. Water is provided, although my dog only drinks out of his home bowl, and I forgot to bring treats.
One small thing is my dog kept wanting to go inside the small, non-Sniffspot area that seemed to be reserved for the homeowner's dogs. I guess could have moved the wheelbarrow or chair there for our visit to keep my dog away from that spot, but we are just guests, and I didn't want to impose. My dog kept running over there, and it's a small gate that I don't think would stop him if the homeowner's dogs were accidentally let out.
We will be back to sniff around. Thanks!Brian Y.

FAQ about our Norwich 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.
