We had a BLAST at the Easter Egg hunt!! 🐣🐰💐 Wilco was very excited to see all the toys and treats. We hope to come to more events like this in the future. Thank you so much!

Always a great time here! There was an Easter egg hunt today which was so cute and well thought out. You can really tell the host cares about the dogs. Thank you!

My dogs always have the best time ever! They had a blast today finding all the eggs and getting all the goodies

We had such a great time! The area is secure and well managed. The agility equipment was fun for our dog. There were clean tennis balls and a hose for clean water available. Since this park is in a neighborhood and we visited on a Sunday afternoon, we did see a few people and one dog being walked on the nearby road. We also heard one dog barking in the near distance. None of these instances were too distracting for our dog and overall the experience was extremely quiet and secluded. Having the human snacks and some chairs to relax in was a great touch. All humans and dogs had a fantastic time.

Thank you so much, Bryna! Arlo had so much fun, as usual, but the Easter egg hunt was such a thoughtful and fun surprise! He loved the treats and the toys! Happy Easter! 🐰💗

55The set-up at the Old Mystic K-9 Adventure Park is superb! The colorful holiday-themed flags and banners welcome you to this sniff spot. The grounds are immaculate and the obstacles and amenities hold our dog’s (and our) interest. Today was a particularly special treat – a personal Easter egg hunt was set up for each dog during their reserved time slot. Our rescue dog has never had the opportunity to do a hunt such as this due to his reactivity to other dogs. Being at the Old Mystic K-9 Adventure Park is stress-free with a reactive dog. The self-latching gate, the solid, 5-foot fence running the perimeter, and the knowledge that no other off-leash dog will be running into our little guy’s space all make for an enjoyable outing. The eggs were hidden throughout the fenced-in area and it didn’t take our dog long to figure out that there were treats inside. The locally made dog biscuits and the well-thought-out selection of toys were a real treat for our dog. He has not put down his favorite find (a squeaky stuffed avocado) all afternoon. The hosts thought of literally everything- a Ziploc bag with our dog’s name on it to carry home his treasures, a prop bucket with bunny ears for photo ops, a bucket to collect the eggs…. The list goes on. This is our second visit since this sniff spot opened and we are eager to visit again soon. The adventure park in itself, even without an egg hunt, is worth a trip! Jen K.

Clean, and was perfect for my corgi that may not get along with a lot of other dogs in one area. Was nice to have a fenced in play area just for him. Having the balls was great because I forgot to bring a toy. Will be going again.

This is a fantastic Sniffspot! Super accurately described. The dogs had a great time! I really like the fencing. We did agility with both dogs and they loved it and were exhausted after. And Lou LOVED the rug toy attached to the tree. Headed home for a nap with two tired pups! 🐶🐾 would def visit here again! And they have everything you could ever need, treats, poop bags etc. 🫶🏻

This is a perfect spot to let your dog play! It’s easy to find and Bryna’s instructions for parking, entry and your visit in general are very clear.

Bryna’s Sniffspot was amazing! It was clean, fully fenced, and had a lot of agility equipment to interact with. The assortment of waters and snacks for us as well as clean tennis balls for our pup was incredible. Our dog had a blast exploring and we can’t wait to go back!

We had an amazing time. Our dog is an apartment dog so she rarely gets this and she’s just 9 months old and she loved it! Especially the Nerf tennis ball shooter. We appreciate you providing this space. Thank you :)

Arlo loves this place! We park and if I don’t open the doors quick enough, he cries inside the car! 😂 thank you, Bryna! This space is perfect for him to run his circles and get his energy out.

FAQ About West Haven Dog Parks
