55We love coming here, it's a great place to run my dog around, we've been able to safely work on her recall, and even teach her some fun things in the ability equipment to keep her brain active. Bryna's a great host, and always has things for the comfort of the dogs and their humans (those hand warmers are clutch during the cold months!)Emily D.

55I come here all the time! I am very grateful to have a place close by that I can take my standards too. They are both working/sport dogs and living in an apartment can be tough. I can book last minute sometimes and it’s amazing!Mikaela C.

55The spot was well provided for. The fence was high enough that my very large dogs couldn't get out. I didn't see other dogs. My dogs barked a couple times at neigh yesterday across the street. Poop bags were provided which I didn't know so I brought my own. They had snacks which the kids loved. My dogs didn't understand the agility equipment as it was a first but loved running and sniffing. This was our first sniffspot and I dare say we will be back. Kayleigh W.

55This space is AMAZING, my pup had a blast. She has snacks (for pups and humans lol) water bottles, water bowls, a place to dispose dog waste and poop bags. She goes above and beyond. Can’t wait to bring my girl back! Alixandra O.

55It was SO nice to have a lit spot to get the dogs out to run around in with it getting dark so early! There is ample lighting around the perimeter of the fence making it so easy to see the whole space! Sarai B.

55My husband and I do not like dog parks and we live in an apartment. So we needed some place for our puppy to run around freely. So one day I was talking to a friend about there being no place and then she recommended Sniffspot. So I gave it a look and booked this place and what a great time we all had lol. She was so happy to be running around not being held by a leash. We truly appreciate you guys more than you really could understand. You are giving us time from your yard to perfect strangers and that’s amazing. Anyways I could write all day about the fun we had and the obstacles that hopefully my puppy will understand one day, We will be back and we highly recommend you guys. Also I loved how safe we felt in knowing my puppy couldn’t get out. Great place!!! Tracey B.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience and it was such a good one. The spot was clean with lots of amenities for both people and pets. Unfortunately, my dogs have no interest in any of the agility equipment (🤣) but they chased the hell out of the tennis balls that were provided. It was plenty private with very little distractions- some barking dogs across the street but they were far enough away that they didn't draw too much attention. It's a small space but they do such a great job making it special and you can tell they care. Thanks for a great first experience!Brittany B.

55Haven’t physically been there YET. My pup was hit by a car in April & he can’t handle being in a car for too long. So we hike daily close to home only. But I’m pet sitting in Westerly and I booked TODAY for the 2 pups for an hour before we were going so that meant I couldn’t cancel.
Point being….the post said it was 13-14 miles from me but app never shows how long minute wise/no directions.. or I wouldn’t have booked it…but when I paid etc it said 18 miles and 27 min! So I panicked b/c I can’t do that to my dog :(. So, I blame myself for not knowing the actual location. But regardless, they reached out to me & initiated a refund through SniffSpot for me too! What a relief! I can’t wait to actually bring my GSD/bully mix who is an athlete and avid hiker! Thanks guys for being so accommodating and understanding :))Kellie B.

55First time ever going to a sniff spot which was recommended by my trainer at KBDB. After a few laps around my little girl was willing to do some jumps and touch recall. Definitely gonna be back sooner rather than later.Amanda C.

55I took my 2 hyper pups there today. They enjoyed sniffing around the yard and my border collie loved the agility course set up, except for the tunnel but he has a fear of tunnels so I’m not surprised. The place was clean, well fenced and perfect for off leash play. Happy to have found this spot! Kamila G.

Frequently asked questions about Groton dog park
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.

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.
