55Great spot with so much for your dog to do! Plenty of toys, agility course stuff, spots for people to sit and watch their dog(a) play, nice pathways, plenty of room to run, play fetch, and the area is also very clean! :)Kalem J.

55This was our first time doing Sniffspot and we couldn't have had a better time! Our 3 dogs had a blast as there was so much to smell and most importantly so much room to run. There were lots of fun toys and drinking water for dogs and humans. Lots of places to sit and watch the dogs have fun too. We had a bit of a drive to get there but it was worth it and we look forward to going back. Thank you Melodie for making and sharing such a wonderful setting.Rachel H.

55This was my first time doing Sniffspot and I was very impressed. My dogs had some good off-leash time and when we got home they conked out. Melodie put a lot of thought in creating this - water, toys, obstacle course, poop bags, waste bin, and even drinks/snacks for humans were provided. Thank you Melodie for providing a safe, clean, and fun environment for both pups and human. I will be back!Ria M.

55What a great place! My dog had a lot of fun, but so did I and my kids! It was clean, extremely spacious, and easy to find. This was over an hour from my house, but very worth the drive.Michelle M.

55What a wonderful set up! I wanted a place to get my dogs energy out while also being able to care for my four month old. This place is a dream and we can’t wait to be back. Ashley P.

55As always, wonderfully surprised with the new things done here.
My pup spent 20 minutes with herding ball till he went to tree the flirt poles used to hang on. He wanted to try to climb the tree looking for them lol.
A few minutes later I was in barn and he stopped pushing the herding ball against the barn. I came out and he located the new hooks for the flirt poles!
Hes obsessed with the squishey face studio flirt pole and the giant red jolly herding ball. (He did play with the orange one a little bit for once though!)
Always plenty of space, safe and secure.
I cant thank enough for sharing such a wonderful space!
I love the free swap in the barn too!
He decided he wanted a pack harness. So next time we go we will be bringing dog gear.
Always comfortable and safe here.
Thank youJasmine D.

55Our boy had a blast roaming the open space! Beautiful spot with lots of toys and activities provided. It was nice to allow our reactive dog the space to play free of triggers! Tina W.

55This spot keeps getting better - or maybe we didn't notice things last time! If the weather is chilly or rainy, there is an awesome area in the barn to watch our pups from. All of the area is very clean and welcoming. Nice parking area and we appreciate having poop bags available - I always forget and it saves me a trip back to my car! Karla B.

55This was a great fully fenced area. One of our pups can't be off leash. This area allowed him to explore and not have to worry about being on leash. It was very clean and lots of things for the dogs to enjoy. Several different seating areas for the humans as well. We will be visiting again.Terry S.

FAQ about our Gilmanton 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 Gilmanton area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 45 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 9 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.
