Top Public & Private Dog Parks in Newtown, CT

A true pawscapade! Very large area for my Rosie to fetch all her tennis balls.. and more importantly it was very well manicured and poop free! Michelle was very helpful and quick to respond to guide us to the property… like it is said: a hidden gem! 💎 We really had a great time under the breeze under the many trees that surrounded the Sniffspot. I definitely recommend this spot and I’m definitely coming back, the hour drive was well worth it

Our dogs loved the area!! There were toys already there and a couple lawn chairs for us to use while we were there! Highly recommend!

Michelle’s Sniff Spot is the best! My golden retriever Bentley had a wonderful time racing around in the very organized, clean, safe, fun, fenced in half acre, hopping in and out of their dog pool and playing with an abundance of toys. The area has a variety of terrain, not just beautiful grass, but there’s a bit of a little hill with rocks and shade and it’s just smellarama for Bentley! What a special treat to be able to play with my dog off leash at such a wonderful place. The Sniff Spot backs up to the woods and it’s a truly beautiful facility w/ the dog paddock and backdrop. So much fun. A true Slice of heaven.! And Michelle is lovely!

Ares absolutely loved the area! Couldn’t keep him out the water! The space was the perfect size for my fur baby! Can’t wait to return!

Love having the water feature in the warm weather. The little pool was great for my small dog who is not crazy about water and the big one was thoroughly enjoyed by my water lover! Thanks!

Bentley had an amazing time at Michelle’s sniff spot! He loves the big dog pool and all of the toys. He ran after each one then went in the pool - repeat! This sniff spot is impeccably clean, organized and well thought out for lots of fun! The hill and shady area up top is smell heaven for him! Exceptional place for our Bentley!

This place was awesome! The fence was secure and there were toys for my dog to play with and multiple pools. We had a great time!

Michelle’s Sniff Spot is incredible! The description is very accurate. The directions are impeccably, correct. It is fully fenced in. There are lots of toys and two dog pools, a tug-of-war rope attached to a tree, a little camping bed or if your dog is little maybe a trampoline! Our dog - Golden Retriever loved the little pool till he saw the bigger one and then it was in and out numerous times. The half acre gave him room to run and play and explore and sniff all the new smells off leash. He was so happy! The spot was exceptionally clean, well taken care of and backs up to the woods. It is simply beautiful. The variety of things for Bentley to do was fantastic and this is definitely a very special place. It was very easy to find. There were chairs but we spent most of the time walking and running around playing with our dog Bentley! All of the amenities listed are included, inside the fenced in area, clean, grouped and well organized. The entire area was safe, secure and super fun. I will say that my dog Bentley has a problem with fireworks, but didn’t even notice the game range far away. It didn’t sound like fireworks, it sounded like someone occasionally hammering far away, as we visited on a Sunday morning. Our dog didn’t even notice. Michelle was incredibly kind, informative and available through the Sniff Spot chatting which is like texting and we cannot wait to book another trip to Michelle’s Sniff Spot! Simply the best and an incredibly wonderful experience I highly recommend Michelle’s Sniff Spot!

Awesome!!! Brought 4-year old pup who had never been able to run off-leash. Lots of room for zoomies and exploring. Beautifully kept property with the unexpected bonus of a porta-potty! We will be booking again; watching her run free made me tear up.

We have been planning for a doggie family reunion. We had the best time at this location. It was fenced, clean, had a garbage bin and water containers. The owner replied timely to my messages about booking. Highly recommend it.

Location was great and clean; we came on a Sunday morning and the shooting range was a little much for our noise sensitive dog but our puppy loved it! I will definitely bring them back on a week day!

Clean, fully fenced. There was fresh cold water in a cooler, toys, and some chairs for the humans. Michelle was super communicative and thoughtful. We will be back!

My puppy Pebbles & I had a great time as usual! This is our 4th visit and it’s always great!

Our dogs had a wonderful time at this sniff spot! It was beautiful, clean and well-maintained. We hope to visit again soon!

This was our first Sniffspot experience and we were more than thrilled! Plenty of space, sniffs, and totally secure fence. We’ll definitely be back!

My first Sniffspot and a great experience. Exactly as advertised. Beautiful area. Host was responsive to chat and some questions I had beforehand. I would happily book again.

Had a wonderful time here. Nice area that’s secluded and has some environmental features that are fun such as large rocks/boulder and a covered pool. Brought our toddler along as well and he had a fun time romping around. Definitely will be back.

Neighbor's dog did come up to the fence, definitely territorial body language but did not bark or lunge at my dogs

What a nice spot! The fence was escape-artist proof, and the yard was super well maintained and clean. Michelle provided toys and water. It's a lovely private area, and though a neighbor dog was occasionally poking around on the other side of the fence, it wasn't enough to be disruptive to my reactive dog. Can't wait to go back!

Michelle was super nice and helpful! I had family issue and had to move our time and she was so accommodating! Her place is gorgeous and the pups had fun.
