55Great SniffSpot. I loved how shaded the area was and that the host provided ample seating! The digging area was a fantastic spot that my dog loved. For dog owners with reactive pups, we did hear dogs from inside and see one being brought inside. Emma G.

55Awesome location! Very private, especially if you're hoping to avoid distraction. Distant neighbor dogs barking was about it. Very secure fence. Great size for running. Interesting shape and set up. Plenty of fun toys (I brought my own agility equipment, but both dogs were tired in 20 minutes and barely used my stuff). Water and water bowl provided. Turd bags and receptacle provided. A 2 year old unuetered male giant schnauzer and a 3 year old female psycho husky loved it and rested for hours after. Perfect for reactive dogs by the way!Kevin M.

55Nice wooded area with lots of toys, digging area and secure fencing. The host came out to advise us of a delivery coming soon in case the noise might bother my dog, which was very considerate of her. It was really nice chatting with her for a few minutes as well. Marie M.

FAQ about our 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.
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 Sturbridge 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 187 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 28 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.
