55This was a fun and unique sniff spot! Our two dogs had the chance to run and play in area 3 where they have an agility course and lots of space for them to get there zoomies out, we also opted to include time in the pool area and some swim training. One of our dogs who’s always been afraid of water, with the right training, encouragement and confidence from Max was relaxed in the water. We will definitely be back and had a lovely time at the Doggo Den.Chris K.

55We weren't expecting such a big place. The structure is amazing, and the owner made sure we felt comfortable, and explained to us how we should introduce the dogs to swimming.
Great service, space and price. We'll definitely be coming backPriscilla M.

55This was the coolest place we’ve ever been too! The dogs loved running around and loved the play equipment located in the area too! My pups have done agility training so it’s cool to be able to practice with them while they get their zoomies out! It was easy to locate and I’m excited to try the extra features when it’s a bit warmer out! We will be back again!!Tricia S.

55We had so much fun here! The dog park is a great size, fully fenced, and has double gates entrances which is a great safety and security feature. There are also some really cool tunnels that your dog can run through for extra fun! The property is lovely, Max and Laurie are super friendly and we felt very welcome there. While we were there, we picked up some raw food and dehydrated treats as well! The 3 water areas also look like fun and we are looking forward to trying them out too. Highly recommend this private park and we will definitely be back. Michelle L.

55Perfect!!!! This was my first time using sniffspot or renting a private riding arena. With a mildly reactive, insecure and highly distractable young Rott, this big, safe, enclosed area with no other dogs or distractions was just what we were looking for, for a training/play/confidence building session. The facility was perfect and exactly as described. Couldn't be happier
Highly recommend. We will be back again and again. Thank you Bonfire Hill Farm!Brenda C.

55We had such a wonderful first time here with our three dogs. They struggle to play well with other dogs so having a private open space like this to run together is so appreciated! The owners are exceptionally kind as well! We will definitely be back and highly recommend!!!! Megan C.

55Another wonderful return to this fantastic space! We come from out of town and always ensure to book a time slot when we’re visiting family. The dogs love it and are tuckered out for when family events are on the go! Angela S.

FAQ About Thorndale 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.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 9% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Thorndale area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 108 fully fenced dog parks in the area.

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.
