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.
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 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 45 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 15 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.
