55What an adorable spot! Easy to find and access. Both of my dogs took off exploring as soon as we arrived. There was fresh water and many toys to play with! Plenty of shade and plenty of seating for the humans. My golden retriever loved the digging area and my german shepherd loved having so much free space to run and chase XL-tennis balls! The fence was secure and the door latched securely. We had a great time and will definitely be returning soon!April T.

55This was my first Sniff spot experience and it was great! They really thought of everything you may need while visiting, including bug spray, shady, and sunny, sitting areas, toys, water, and pet cleanup supplies. The yard was super peaceful and relaxing. I brought my book well my dogs ran around and played next time. I will definitely be booking for even more time. It was such a pleasant experience.Sarah H.

55Great spot! Secure fencing, lots of shade, great toys provided. Really appreciated the provided bug spray as it is a shady forest-y area. Just keep an eye out as there is some poison ivy outside/along the fence lineCassandra M.

55This was our very first Sniff Spot visit! Archie absolutely loved digging and being able to run free. It was clean and had all the supplies you or your dog could need. Archie was a little nervous with the owners dog barking.Rachel J.

Ben's 1 Acre Unfenced Private Yard In Sturbridge | Sniffspot
55Yard is unfenced but it is a quiet road and secluded area. Good spot to work on recall! The property has a backyard area as well as a wooded area that extends a bit back. My dogs had fun!Alyssa M.

55This was my first Sniffspot experience and it exceeded my expectations! I came prepared with toys and water, but Kim also provided a nice selection of options that my dog, Ivy, found enjoyable and exciting. We didn't see a soul (human or otherwise) for the duration of our visit. We heard some extremely faint barking at one point, but my dog didn't seem to notice/care. Thanks so much for providing this space for dogs like mine. Really lovely visit and we will most certainly be back!Sierra M.

FAQ About Sturbridge 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.
