55We had the best time at Nancy and Barry’s farm! It was a magical time in the forest with moss, stones, trails and hillsides. It was so convenient on our way to Boston, just minutes off 84. They are prepping it to be a “super sniffspot” so there was a bit of mud to the trails so you may want to wear hiking boots. Plenty of space for us to feel safe with our dogs off leash and the trails are away from other animals, but no fencing that we saw (except the fencing enclosing their domestic animals). I think more fenced areas are coming. Thank you Nancy and Barry, you two are a delight!David A.

55Barry met us right on time and we had a great experience. The property was large, private and well-maintained. Barry was very friendly and helpful. As a bonus, it was much cooler in Union than in other places in CT so on a hot day it provided a nice respite. We'll definitely go back. Thank you!Kristin H.

55This is a wonderful spot. There are several large fields and 30 wooded acres with trails. My two dogs played in one of the fields for 2 hours and we did not see or hear any other dogs. We did see some cows who mooed at us but they were far enough away that my reactive dog was not triggered by them. We walked briefly in the woods but the trails are currently unmarked so we decided to wait until they get a chance to map the area. There was mention of bear cubs in the area so I had my dogs wear their bear bells. We will definitely return-this is a great spot for me to get away with my dogs in a way that is relaxing for me and fun for both dogs. The owners were very friendly and quick with information during the booking process. Sharen M.

FAQ About Union 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.
