55Fantastic
55Beautiful, so open - the owners are so kind as well! We will be frequenting this spot!
55Super fun spot! Ghost has a blast sniffing all around! There were tons of great toys to play with and plenty of supplies as well. Beautiful fall drive to the spot from Central MA.
55Great place! Lots of room to run and play for my dog. Also, really appreciated all of the toys and treats provided in the gazebo. :)
55This is our second time at this property, and my dog always has a great time running. There is always fun toys for her to play with and it’s so much space for her to run!
55Awesome spot to bring your dogs. It was also just a nice relaxing area for the humans of the group. No need to bring anything but the dogs plenty of toys, water, bowl clean and ready for use. Perfect instructions in where to park so there is no confusion when you arrive. I give it five out of five paws 🐶.
55Truly a lovely Sniffspot. The yard is very well maintained and thought out well! Lovely host, she got back to me very quickly. The dogs loved it, plenty of space to play fetch. My little one tried going up the slide a few times ( he’s a kid trapped in dog body) other than that very calm and relaxed environment for all of us. Will definitely be visiting again!
55secure fence and dogs had a blast
55Beautiful spot with tons of cool toys my boy loved
55Appreciated the plentiful toys, water and the clean environment

First time guests use code PUPTOPERF for a $10 discount! Returning renters can use code TRAINYERDOG for a discount too 😉 if you plan on renting regularly consider purchasing a Sniffpass! To access the agility field: Please follow the driveway straight back past the detached garage. There is a gravel road to take you back to the sniffspot. Please park along the fence line of the field in the grass- do NOT park on the gravel road! *If you have never taken agility classes or competed in agility before, please message me and we can set up a time for a private lesson to ensure the safety of you and your dog! Puppies under a year should not be jumping too high or too repeatedly, and the larger pieces of equipment are dangerous for a dog to dismount improperly. And please, no humans on the equipment!* If you move or change the heights of any jumps, please put them back how you found them before you leave! Do not move any of the larger pieces of equipment (weave poles, dogwalk, a-frame, or teeter). AKC Regulation a-frame, teeter, dogwalk, and jumps from Max200. MAD Agility channel weaves. Saloon door style tire and tunnels from Clean Run. Please potty your dogs outside of the agility field! Keep your dogs leashed for safety as it is not fully fenced outside of the agility field and keep your eyes peeled for poison ivy! Please stay out of the neighbor’s property and out of the fenced in yard close to the house. It is low tech back there. There is no electricity or running water. Gates are secured with bungees for now until permanent posts & latches are installed. Please bring water, bug spray, sunscreen, proper footwear, etc. I do my best to keep the field as manicured as possible, but it is the out of doors so nothing is ever perfect! The pine trees provide lovely shade, but they do also provide pinecones and twigs. Give the space a once over to ensure there is nothing pokey on you or your dog’s path! Be nice to the neighbors! And have fun!
