55Sara’s sniffspot was awesome!! First off it was really easy to get to and the instructions were super clear. Once we got there, the entire yard was fenced and we could let our pups out without worry. It was clean and tidy, and just as described.
There were no other animals or distractions, and it was nice and quiet.
Our pups had plenty of space to run around and explore between the open grassy yard and the wooded area with lots of big rocks and a trail throughout. We had such a great time, we’re definitely eager to return. Thank you for having us!! Jason A.

55This was one of the best spots we’ve ever been too! SOOO much free space for Kaya to roam and sniff. EVERY single, little area is fenced in, which is VERY important for us because Kaya is a little, curious explorer haha! We just can’t say enough how wonderful an experience it was! WE CAN’T WAIT TO COME BACK!!K.C. K.

55Perfect spot for my reactive dog. Large wooded area with boulders to climb and big lawn for throwing a ball. The addition of the solo stove fire was perfect for a chilly day. So nice to not worry about the pup getting into trouble. We will stop by again when we’re in the area. Molly A.

55This was my first sniff spot visit and it is really beautiful and spacious. Lots of room for doggies to play, run around and be free! However, there is some traffic noise. I’m not familiar with the area so I don’t know if it’s like that everyday but I went on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty noisy. One of my dogs is a rescue who is reactive to cars and so she would bark nonstop at every car she would hear and see pass by, which caused the resident dogs and neighboring dogs to start barking as well lol. Which made her bark more because she’s also reactive to dogs lol. So as you might imagine it didn’t turn out too well for us lol. Currently in training for my dogs reactivity so I’m hoping one day we can go back. If you don’t have a highly reactive dog then this place is truly a dogs upstate paradise! Raquel P.

55This visit was our first time using SniffSpot. I could not have dreamed of a better location! The space is exactly as described (and then some) and the host even left a generous stack of branches to fetch with! 10/10– will return soon!!Grace M.

55Listen to the reviews, this Sniffspot is amazing! The grounds are stunning, clean, and very well maintained. Lots of terrain options for my dog. We did a lap to check the fencing at the beginning and it was incredibly solid! I was so grateful for the fire add-on as it was a chilly day and we had a lovely fire burning for a whole hour to keep us warm. Me and my dog are from the city so we really appreciated a safe place to run around and enjoy nature!Meg L.

55The space was wonderful for my pup to explore! There was a fresh bowl of water waiting and accessible. Yard was clean and fun to explore. Highly recommend utilizing this space for a pup that loves to hop around and sniff!Leanne K.

55Sara's property is beautiful. It really is a little paradise. There are short trails through woods and magnificent rock outcrops as well as there is a large open field. Forrest loved being there and we will return. Barbara S.

55What a wonderful space! This was my first visit to one of the Sniffspot properties and it was so nice to enjoy it, with such clear instructions and helpful tips. I felt very comfortable and Frankie🐶 did too! She had to survey the whole perimeter of the fence first then she enjoyed climbing the huge rock outcroppings, and enjoyed exploring all the woodland paths.
This space must be gorgeous in the spring when the mountain laurel is all in bloom!
I will be coming back, and will probably bring one of Frankie’s friends so they can enjoy it together🤗
Thank you Sara…
We appreciate you sharing your incredible property with us all♥️🐶Angela G.

55This is a great spot! Our girls loved running through the woods and checking out all the nooks and crannies this property provides. So much to explore. As a nervous mom I worried about the fence being secured all the way around because it’s such a big property but it was obviously well maintained and secure. We will definitely be back! Theresa G.

FAQ About Kerhonkson 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. 26% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Kerhonkson 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 116 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 284 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.
