55Great spot! The host was incredibly accommodating and there are so many amenities. There is a campfire, grill, pool, and bathroom. There is a small fenced in area and a 5 acre area that is mostly fenced but has a natural vegetation fence in Spring and Summer. The host went out of their way to make our trip very special! They encouraged us to bring friends and have picnics and grill out! We had an excellent time! Lindsay P.

55Host very nice, I explained that one of my pups can be Barky with strangers he respected and kept distance while we spoke. He explained plans for future but honestly it was perfect for us. Large open area fenced partially not close to road. Wooded border on 3 sides. Fully fenced area with chairs, fire pit and I believe a barn ( didn’t go in) chickens and ducks but fenced in. The fenced area was covered in wood chips - no mud. The huge field was covered in straw - what should have been a mud bath was pleasantly not. Awesome place. Karen E.

55Very pleasant spot and very nice people. I would not consider the entire property "fully fenced", but it worked for our dogs. Also, if you have a longer haired breed be careful of the thistles in the wooded areas, my pup got them caught on his paws several times. Barb G.

55This was an awesome spot! We had the best time. Bucky was able to romp and just be a dog without any concerns. The host was so kind and accommodating. We will be back. Marci K.

55The host was super friendly and our dogs had a lot of fun. They were excited to get out and run! This is a great spot for bringing dogs that want & need more exercise than a small yard or leashed walk.Jessica W.

55My dogs had a fun time running around here! The owner was very friendly and showed us around. This wasn't a problem for my dogs, but the 5-acre property is not fully fenced. One side has a fence, but the front, back and other side of the property are unfenced. So dogs can run onto the neighbors' property and road (which is not busy). My dogs stick close and have a great recall so this wasn't an issue for me, but for other dogs it may be. There is a small area on the property that has been fully fenced in with posts and chicken wire. Additionally, there are chickens and ducks in a fenced coupe on the property. My dogs have been around chickens, so it wasn't a concern, but dogs can get right up to the chicken wire. It sounds like there are plans to fully fence the property, which would be great for folks with dogs who need a fenced spot to run and explore!Alisa H.

FAQ about our Barrington dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Barrington area range from $9.0 and $9.0. The least expensive dog field is Where Furry Friends Come To Play. The most expensive dog field is Where Furry Friends Come To Play. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
