55Such a great spot for our French Bulldog mix Zoey, who is not a candidate for a public dog park. She loves to run and chase a ball, and most of all, sniff! This spot is securely fenced, large, clean, even shaded by lovely large trees. Lots of amenities for your dogs (and your) comfort, fresh water, treats, even poopie bags in case you forget! Even agility structures, which we will definitely be exploring, as they are great confidence builders!Lynne P.

55This Spot is an absolute gem! Fully secured fencing, snacks/water/bags and an agility course make this a wonderful place to let the pups stretch their legs. Located in a quiet residential area with easy access to the highway and local areas, I'll be sure to book it again the next time we're in town!!! Jon B.

55Visited yesterday for the first time! Our little French Bulldog mix Zoey had a fabulous time playing soccer with her ball, playing fetch with a tennis ball (provided), and trying out some of the agility course. She is not a candidate for a dog park, so this is a great alternative, clean, with every amenity provided, will definetly be regulars!Lynne P.

FAQ About Groton 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.
