55This was our first sniff spot location and we loved it. The directions were easy to follow and the location was great. My girl is a little reactive ans although we did hear the dogs from the kennel - we parked as instructed and there were no issues. We have a long road trip ahead and this was a perfect stop for her to explore freely. Thank you. Michele C.

55Perfect spot for the furbabes. Open field and wooded trails. Even more excited about the half price for additional dogs after the first dog. Everyone should do this. I mean, you are renting it by the hour, doesn't make a difference to them of its one dog or 8 dogs. :) Thank you for sharing your 20 acres.D G.

55I brought our 3-month old Golden Retriever puppy to this Sniffspot today. He had a great time with all the smells and sights. It would be fun to add another dog to romp with. So much room and well-maintained trails. I highly recommend!Peggy C.

55What a wonderful place! The area is clean and mowed/maintained immaculately. Absolutely lovely field to play with my doggies, and of course they adored it. The signage is so helpful, hoping to rebook soon! Thank you so much for opening your grounds to us, it was a magical afternoon. Dean R.

55We all loved our time at the Fairchild dog park!! So much room to run. Great trails through the woods. I put on about 4 miles walking so can only imagine how many miles the dogs put on. We rarely saw our Fox Hound. She just ran and ran smelling every tree and bush in the place of which there are many! Our little low rider needed a few breaks :) We did take advantage of the golf cart rental for my husband who is disabled. it was awesome! What a great thing to offer. it really helped us out. Truly i cant compliment the spot enough. we drove 2 1/2 hours to get there and we will definitely be visiting again. i highly recommend. Your dogs will be so happy and tired :)Cindy M.

55It’s a little confusing to find the gate and parking spot. Take the first driveway, go past the semitrailer on the left and go to the right through the gate to the parking area. Shut the gat behind you.Denise W.

55Wonderful area for pups to run! Our first time here, we pulled through the field gate and was met by a lady (owner) who explained the area to us. We shut the gate to secure it and unloaded our pups. They ran the fields and woods all by themselves! The paths were groomed well and one side had shade and our dogs loved it. We walked a couple of trails in the woods as well. Great sniff spot and will be back for sure. Fall and winter will be a place for us to take them too.

FAQ about our Sparta 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Sparta 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 8 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 3 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.
