55We had an amazing time here with our dog, Choco! The entire property is so gorgeous. Right on the water, with plenty of room to run around, explore and lounge. Felt completely private. My dog felt completely comfortable here and it was just us, no other dogs or people. Definitely recommend. Carly W.

55Really awesome spot, both the pup and I loved it. He had a blast frolicking in the grass and running up and down the fence chasing squirrels and chipmunks. The property is huge and there was plenty to sniff and explore. '
I did have to put him on a longline after he tried to get out of the wire fencing after a chipmunk. He's 32 lbs and a bit stocky, but was still a concern as he's on the smaller side. A note to anyone with a smaller, prey driven dog like Cooper. Still, we had a wonderful time and bonus for me, an avid birder: I saw two Merlin (small falcons) chasing each other over the property for a good 20 minutes. Will definitely be back!Kelly L.

55We had so much fun, my dogs loved the open space to run free. The host was very nice and let my GSD herd sheep for the 1st time & let my puppy have at it too. We will definitely be coming back here 😊Luanna O.

55A thoroughly great place!! The fenced-in pasture is a perfect place for dogs to be dogs. My 1-yr-old dog ran and ran and ran…exactly what I wanted him to be able to do. My 14-yr-old dog loved sniffing and exploring at her own pace. I felt so at ease knowing my dogs were contained and I didn’t have to worry that my young dog would bolt if he saw a critter. I’m definitely coming back!!! Thank you, Mike, for making your wonderful property available to dogs! Anita Z.

55It’s the big field on the right! There was sheep in the field when we got there so we also got to see the sheepdog work and it was SO COOL. Pooch then had the time of her life there. Will be back. Jacquelyn M.

55Awesome fenced in acres of land. My dog was able to run her legs off. I was seeing how she was off leash, come recall etc. Found out she needs lots of work but the place was safely fenced.Jono B.

55Our second time at this great spot. The sheep were in the pasture when we arrived and, unsure what to do, I went into the field with my dogs. A few short minutes later the owner got there with his border collie to relocate the sheep. My big young dog had the time of his life running flat out chasing after the sheep but I finally captured him and let the owner move the sheep out. I probably shouldn’t have entered the pasture but I must say it was fascinating watching the border collie at work. I’m definitely going to be signing my dog up for herding lessons!! All in all, a great spot and I’ll be going back a lot! Anita Z.

55My favorite sniffspot in the area. I highly recommend double checking gates when you arrive, as there's a couple of inlet pens that should be closed off because the fence inside isn't as secure, but the main space is very secure and nicely positioned. Water is available, though you have to drag out a hose and there is sheep poop in the field (as expected) so wear good shoes. Neighbors on the back side are incredibly sweet and responsible with their dogs. Highly recommend. Samantha S.

55Great large fenced in area, sniffing opportunities galore since both sheep and dogs frequent the field. There are a couple of areas where a small dog could slip through, but in that unlikely event, the field is no where near traffic so it is safe. I will definitely go back; both my dog and I really, really enjoyed our time there, with no fear of loose dogs. Mike was very nice and let us enjoy the time by ourselves. 5 stars!Dorothy O.

55Large open field and the host was responsive when I messaged with questions. There were visible sheep in their paddock, but weren’t so noticeable it was distracting for them to play. Obviously a sheep pasture, so there is sheep poop. My guy had a field day eating it. Jessica F.

55Awesome spot. I wish I lived closer, I’d go every week! PS. First timers- long gate across from parking spots is where you go in! I was not sure and had to call. ☺️

55We had a blast! Lots of space to run and sniff with a secure fence. Luckily we didn’t have any issues with either dog trying to eat sheep poop but we did make sure to watch where we were stepping. Only one tip, next time we would make sure to bring our own water. Molly C.

55Great large pasture filled with many good smells (sheep poop! My dog was thrilled), dog toys, cones, and herding gates. It was easy to find — it’s the yard on right as you come to end of driveway, across from the martial arts business, and the first set of gates on right opened easily. Dogs were thrilled with the sniffari field trip - we’d definitely come again! We want to try the sheep herding lessons next. :)
One thing to note— double check to see whether gate on far left near the property is closed, probably gets used a lot with sheep coming and going.
Thank you!Bridget D.

55This is by far my favorite sniff spot. It takes 30 minutes to get here, but it’s worth it. Fence and secure -the smell of sheep, and grass that doesn’t have pesticides on it can’t get better than thatLisa A.

FAQ about our Chatham 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Chatham 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 31 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 2 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.
