55This was our first visit at the Golden Dog Playground and it exceeded our expectations. This place is a dogs dream! It definitely meets the needs of all kinds of dogs from ones who love to just use their nose and explore to those who prefer a good game of fetch. Beautiful quiet location. My shy dog felt safe and confident to freely explore, what a great experience for him! Thanks so much! I highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t been to this sniffspot to go check it out! We will be back!April H.

55Golden Dog Playground was wonderful! The area was clean, well maintained, and just as described. Traci was even kind enough to leave something special for my pup when I said we were there to celebrate his birthday! Thanks for sharing your place with us, we can't wait to return! Emily G.

55Great spot for all. We have a 12 lb Chi mix and he loved doing all the “big dog stuff”! He enjoyed climbing the hay bales and zipping through the woods the most!! Holly L.

55I wish that I could give this place more than a 5 star rating. I have visited many different places to have fun with my dogs, and this exceeded my expectations. It is the BEST Sniffspot I have ever visited.
First, I have 5 dogs ranging from 12# - 85#. I like to find places where they can all hang out and play together, which isn't always easy. I am a veterinarian and am really picky about where I let my dogs go, especially when there are outbreaks of respiratory disease in the area. This place is immaculate. All water dishes and toys are sanitized between visitors. The yard had NO waste from other dogs present. All toys were safe, no areas of the space seemed hazardous and there were so many places for the dogs to explore and climb as well as play. The second my dogs' feet hit the ground they were off and running in all directions. I didn't have to worry that one would get out and run off. It was very secure. I don't think I've seen my dogs that excited for a new location ever! Lots of natural logs and stumps to explore, hay bales to climb on, agility equipment and natural wooded areas to hunt and sniff.

55Golden Dog Playground = doggie heaven! Our little one had the best time playing in the yard. The variety of activities and terrain available is terrific and the place is immaculate. Lupe had a blast climbing on hay bales, tires and logs, going through the agility equipment and just running in the woods with abandon! She was very curious with the hens and loved sniffing all around! Thank you for the wonderful set up. It was a bit of a drive for us but so worth it! Tatiana C.

55This is a great spot for dogs to explore. It has a large variety of activities and toys and is very clean. One of the reasons I chose this spot is because it has 2 fenced areas. Which was so great to help my dog and new puppy socialize in a neutral space while also having their own individual areas. Thank you so much, we will be back!Bridget S.

55This was the 1st time that I have visited a sniff spot with my pup. Everything was perfect - there was so much to do and lots of space for Luc to really burn off her energy. She ran for the 1st 30 minutes exploring every corner. Afterwards she enjoyed splashing in the pool, visiting chickens, jumping on and off hay bales, and a super great assortment of tires to balance on. We practiced our parkour skills on stumps of different heights. She flew through agility tunnels and over jumps. She really enjoyed the freedom! Will definitely be back! Nancy A.

55Our first sniff spot experience & we will be coming back! It was absolutely perfect. I have a 5 year old dog who can sometimes be reactive and a 1 year old dog who I’m working on training with (he loves to eat poop), so dog parks are not a part of our lives. This was incredible. The 1 year old is not wireless fence trained at home yet so he’s always on a run or leash & he loved getting to run with his sister. The property was clean & well maintained.Emily F.

55First time visit to a sniff spot. Our pup is 10 mo old and really enjoyed his visit. There is so much room! He was all over sniffing and exploring . The chickens were an added bonus for him. For us, an hour is too long a visit. He was pooped after 30 mins. I can see a place like this being perfect if you have 2 or more dogs to bring. Wendy E.

55We had a blast! My pups had so much fun and it’s great to see my little ones confidence climbing the hay stack and tires. And my older dog was fun to see him use some of the agility equipment. We loved the extra options! We will be back for sure! Rebecca B.

55The Golden Dog Playground just continues to impress us and entertain our dogs. Rocky and Juniper know where we are going before we get there - and Juniper, who is our shy girl - gets super excited as we hit the driveway.
Traci keeps finding new ways to add enrichment options and value to their SniffSpot, which makes it fun for canine and human alike. This visit we enjoyed having the heater available so after doing some dog parkour, we could take a break and sit under it for a quick warm up while the dogs continued to explore the woods. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Terrie H.

FAQ about our Barrington fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.

How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains.

We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
