55The hosts were responsive and welcoming. They provide a map of the place! I brought my 8 mo old Doberman and he believed this place to be (dog) heaven. Lots of room to run and sniff and explore and the pheasants were very exciting to him. My dog tends not to venture too far from me (unless he knows of a pheasant coop apparently) so when we were in the prairie area I wasn’t too concerned that it looked like it went right up against a road way in the distance (I only saw one truck go by) but if this is a concern, maybe ask them, they are great!! My dog was knocked out the whole ride home.Lemon M.

55Axel and I enjoyed our visit -- we especially enjoyed rambling through the variety of terrain...hills, wooded trail, open prairie, etc. This is a really nice local option for off-leash exercise!Karna H.

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.

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 23 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 4 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.
