55If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I had high expectations after reading other reviews and this surpassed them. I can't believe how nice it was. Melodie answered all my questions almost instantly when I booked it. This will hopefully become a weekly or bi-weekly event for Rudy and I. John H.

55We had a wonderful time here this morning! The snow made the second driveway a little more difficult to find—I didn't realize where I needed to turn until I was driving past it, but I just doubled back and all was fine. The play area is huge and securely fenced, with all sorts of toys and activities for dogs—Clint just wanted to trot around and sniff everything, but it's great to have so many other options available. The barn was so cozy and well-kept, and the outhouse was a bit of a surprise but definitely a welcome one! I also appreciated the multiple stations that made picking up and disposing of dog poo so easy. Our fenced-in yard at home is quite small, so I'm delighted to find a place where I can bring Clint to run around safely off-leash without having to worry about how he will react to the presence of other dogs. We definitely plan to return!Hillary I.

55What a fantastic space! I am a pet sitter (TailsAndTrailsNH.com) and came here with a client’s pup for a field trip and we had the absolute best time! There’s some really great agility equipment and climbing obstacles, and I especially love the inclusion of herding balls! There’s plenty of room to run and play, but not so expensive that you won’t be able to find your dog if they run further away from you. There’s even an indoor area with a propane heater, WiFi, water, a free dog gear swap(!!), and comfy spaces to sit which is such an awesome added touch. I can definitely see this spot creating not just space for pups to play, but a space that is community focused. We will definitely be back again soon! I can’t wait to bring my own dogs here.Keleigh L.

55Our second time going there since Rudy had such a good time the week before. This time we rented for an hour and somehow it still wasn't enough for him and he had even more fun. I recommend parking in the paved driveway spots as the dirt parking was very muddy. Make sure to wear boots or shoes you don't care about. Absolutely love this place!John H.

55Nice open spot with plenty of room to run. Area was clean from what we could see. Only one spot that looked a little low for my dog, may have been just a low spot filled with snow. Had a few inches of snow so we cut our visit short, Have a very stubborn Bloodhound who refuses to let me put a coat on her and her feet were getting cold. We will definitely return.Claire C.

55We had an absolutely lovely time. My Bumi got to just play and be a dog without fear of another dog. It was so lovely to see him so relaxed. The hosts are so kind and understanding as well. Very grateful to have found this place for a weekly play date with my little guy. Kendra B.

55Worth every penny if not more. The owner put a lot of thought into to this place and made it welcoming for the whole family not just the fur babies. Everything is laid out perfectly and the landscaping is wonderful! HIGHLY recommend!Troy D.

FAQ about our Portsmouth 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Portsmouth 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 163 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 10 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.
