55Everything about this experience was positive for me and my two active dogs. Parking was close to the entrance, the gate was simple to use, the toys and water were out and ready to use and the yard/fence was clean and well maintained. There was also good communication beforehand.Maria M.

55We stopped here while on vacation. Our dog doesn’t do well in dog parks, so we were thrilled to find this place! It was clean, quiet, well secured, and had plenty to keep my dog busy. Megan M.

55This was our first Sniffspot visit in the dark. The yard was well lit and I also brought a glow in the dark ball which was super fun in the “dark” edges of the yard. The owner also was very gracious and adjusted my time via the chat feature here as my schedule changed. That was very nice of her to do on relatively short notice! (Thank you!)Maria M.

Kevin's Private Dog Park In Lansing, NY | Sniffspot
55Kevin and Dave were amazing Sniffspot hosts! This is our first time booking with Sniffspot and with the Barksville Inn team. With my dog being reactive with certain small dogs, I expected my dog to be the only dog in the yard. However, Kevin and Dave were so kind and offered to have members of their pack (large dogs, yay!) come and meet my dog after she had some alone time just sniffing around. Kali had a great time meeting new friends and I had an even greater time meeting Kevin and Dave. They were very accommodating, hospitable, and also made sure my dog and I felt comfortable. I can’t wait to bring my dog back to The Barksville Inn!Chaia O.

FAQ about our 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.
