55My 3 dogs loved this spot. Fionn got to work on his offleash skills, while Arlo and Charlie sniffed all the places. The pheasant startled them when it flew off but the dogs were good in leaving it alone. Fionn can be very reactive with other dogs so it was nice not to worry about coming upon unknown dogs while out on a trail. We will be back!Shannon H.

55It’s not easy to tire out a 2 year old Aussie Shepherd but this was the perfect spot for it! Ella loved running the trails across the various terrain, through the stream and especially the pheasants. The trails were in great condition and Katie and her family are excellent hosts. We will definitely be back.Molly B.

55We loved this as our first sniffspot guest experience! Buddy is dog reactive and it was super stress free to be able to explore all the area without having to be on-guard. He even got to roam off-leash, and loved it!Amanda V.

55It was excellent! We have 2 senior dogs who tired out much more quickly than expected. It was hilly without being too hard on them plus lots of sniffing areas. Katie met us as we arrived and gave a layout of the land then left us to it. We have been looking for a hiking sniff spot for a while. The other ones we have come across are largely mowed grass on prairies. But here we actually got some time in the woods.
One of our dogs is dog reactive and the other has some serious stranger danger. Taking them in public places and especially parks/ trails, etc can be a challenge. It is so stressful as we have to be on constant high alert. It was a big relief to us to finally find a place where we felt comfortable with them roaming around and not having to worry about any dogs or people coming up the trail.
We will definitely be back with our other dog and future fosters we bring home!Astrid H.

55Katie is so sweet and gave us a lay of the land right when we pulled up! The property is gorgeous and easy to walk around. Kya had so much fun sniffing around and running up and down the big hills. This was the perfect place to practice off leash skills on a beautiful morning! Erin F.

55It was a lovely spot with both prairie and woods. The “ rest area” with picnic tables and a hammock was a welcome spot on a hot day. I highly recommend this venue. Lorraine G.

55This has become our favorite place! The host Kate is so wonderful! She is very responsive and flexible and it is so appreciated! And she always gives an update if there is something new to be aware of when you book. I have a dog reactive dog, a human reactive dog, a senior and a young Heeler that loves to run run run and this place couldn’t be more perfect! Having the fence keeps my Heeler safe and where he is supposed to be and it is so private you almost feel like you are in a fairy tale! It’s perfect because I don’t have to worry about my reactive dogs and they can just enjoy themselves. And my senior loves to just wander and smell all the smells. Very grateful for a place like this!

55Excellent trip. Varied terrain with trails winding around prairie, sloping down into the creek, and climbing into the forest. Mostly fenced besides the end of the driveway and where the creek exits the northern end of the property. We flushed a flock of deer who were in the creek at the northern end. We'll definitely be coming back, equiped with bear bells to give any deer some advance warning. We passed by the pheasant coop and couldn't see or hear anything inside. My dogs were slightly more interested but moved on easily.Hannah S.

55Koda had a blast running through the trails! They are well groomed and Katie even provided a map of the trails on the property so it was easy to navigate. There were poop bags, bug spray and a trash bin available. We will be returning for some more trail fun. Shannon M.

55I brought a full crew of dogs on this visit. The allure of critters and the pond was too much for some of the dogs to come back but for dogs with high enough recall and easycare coats, it is a great experience.
In the summer, the pond is pretty swampy and left a strong smell on the dogs who jumped in.Hannah S.

FAQ about our Litchfield 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Litchfield 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 53 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 6 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.
