55We loved this spot! My husky did ensure that the fencing was secure enough to contain her and my mom’s lab poodle mix enjoyed the course! The space was clean and cute too! Brittany M.

55Really great! Had all the things described! My dogs had a ton of fun! My only complaints (and this is me being very picky) were that the chairs were VERY dirty so I felt like I could sit in them as someone with really bad allergies to tree pollen and grasses (maybe could have plastic outdoor chairs instead so they can be brushed/sprayed off easier) and that there was a REALLY loud dog nearby (sounded like the neighbors behind) that kept barking and making my reactive dog a bit anxious (so maybe not the best place depending how reactive your dog is). Otherwise, it was very pleasant and neither of these two things made me reduce how many stars I am giving!Kyla H.

55I am a local dog trainer who adores using this Sniff-Spot both for clients with reactive dogs as well as my own foster dogs. It is always nice for them to be able to explore new locations and spend time truly off-leash without worry. Thank you for providing our community with such a beautifully kept, safe space to navigate life with the dog in front of them. ❤️Sage R.

55This was the perfect spot for our pups’ sibling reunion! The agility obstacles were fun and we appreciated that it is well stocked with water and tennis balls. It was the perfect sized enclosure with plenty of shade. We will definitely visit again! Catherine D.

55What a great place to bring the dogs to. It’s a stitch up from our own yard. We always forget that one is slower than the other two due to Lyme disease. So we did not utilize the full hour. But the time we were there all three had a great time. Very clean lot of agility stuff for the dogs. I would definitely go backKimberly D.

55This was an excellent spot. Very secure fence. There was minimal cars that passed on the road adjacent to the sniff spot and the location was relatively quiet. It was a great spot for my fearful dog to be off leash. I will definitely visit again Dawn I.

55Great spot to visit with your pup! It was really fun to try out the agility course with my girl—It definitely tired her out. The fences were also high and secure. We hope to be back soon!Gabrysia S.

55We really enjoyed our visit! We've been working very hard on reducing reactivity - and I chose this SniffSpot to see how my dog would be able to handle doing a little agility in a new place that was safe. This place was perfect for us! Secure fence & gates. Clean yard. Plenty of equipment set up. Typical neighborhood sights and sounds. No complaints!! We plan to come back periodically to "test" our progress! 😊Deb S.

55Loved it! Clean and tidy! Just enough space to let your dog run out all the energy! Tennis balls supplied along with agility equipment! Loved the height of the fencing and the hose. I brought my pet sitting dog and my own pup for a quick romp and by the end of it they were exhausted! We will be back again! Jessica M.

55We just moved into an apartment with two standard poodles and they need things to do. I do agility with one so being able to practice somewhere is a huge plus. I booked this last minute cause another one cancelled and it was ready to go! The both had so much fun. I will be back often!Mikaela C.

55This is a great spot! This was also my first sniff spot experience, and my dog really loved it. We had fun with the agility equipment and he also just enjoyed being able to zoom around off leash! Comfy chairs for humans and very nice of the host to provide toys, water and snacks. Thanks for a great experience! Megan E.

FAQ About Groton 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. 6% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Groton 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 173 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 396 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
