55This is a wonderful spot. There are several large fields and 30 wooded acres with trails. My two dogs played in one of the fields for 2 hours and we did not see or hear any other dogs. We did see some cows who mooed at us but they were far enough away that my reactive dog was not triggered by them. We walked briefly in the woods but the trails are currently unmarked so we decided to wait until they get a chance to map the area. There was mention of bear cubs in the area so I had my dogs wear their bear bells. We will definitely return-this is a great spot for me to get away with my dogs in a way that is relaxing for me and fun for both dogs. The owners were very friendly and quick with information during the booking process. Sharen M.

55Barry met us right on time and we had a great experience. The property was large, private and well-maintained. Barry was very friendly and helpful. As a bonus, it was much cooler in Union than in other places in CT so on a hot day it provided a nice respite. We'll definitely go back. Thank you!Kristin H.

55We had the best time at Nancy and Barry’s farm! It was a magical time in the forest with moss, stones, trails and hillsides. It was so convenient on our way to Boston, just minutes off 84. They are prepping it to be a “super sniffspot” so there was a bit of mud to the trails so you may want to wear hiking boots. Plenty of space for us to feel safe with our dogs off leash and the trails are away from other animals, but no fencing that we saw (except the fencing enclosing their domestic animals). I think more fenced areas are coming. Thank you Nancy and Barry, you two are a delight!David A.

55The kiddie pool was a big hit on such a hot day. My two dogs and I really enjoyed the very large, clean, and flat running space. Secure fence. Owner left pool and water dish filled for us. My little guy had fun chasing birds and my little girl spent most of her time jumping in and out of the pool. It was 94 degrees when we went and there was enough shade for me to handle the heat! Thoroughly recommend!Nancy B.

55 I highly recommend checking out! Her location is completely fenced in with both an open grass/play section and also an agility field section with all the equipment. It is private so your dog will not encounter other dogs. She keeps it well maintained. She also went out of her way to help me with Scooby and his seesaw fear. She worked with us, gave us tips and advice, adjusted the equipment, and let Scooby have some high value treats! The location is really easy to get to and has tie outs if you have two dogs and want to work one at a time. Also just a fun spot to let your dog(s) run around if you need a safe space to let it run or do training!Lisa W.

55We visited JJ's yard today and the dogs had a blast! They chased toys, ran all over, and jumped in the kiddie pool to cool off! The yard was immaculate and the fencing super secure. My smaller dog has escaped from other parks, and explored the entire perimeter without success! It was so nice to let the dogs run and play without worrying about other dogs like when we go to public dog parks. We can't wait to come back!Lori S.

FAQ about our Union 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 Union 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 364 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 29 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.
