55Thank you Julie for hosting this Sniffspot. It's such a wonderful and safe area for dogs of all ages to run, play and sniff. Plenty of enrichment for the dogs and shade to keep cool on warmer day. I brought my current pack of 5 dogs (3 personal and 2 bonded fosters) for the first time and they all enjoyed it so much. We'll be back for sure!Melissa C.

55Lovely place to bring dogs! I have a reactive mutt (she previously was a stray) who had a great time with her doggy friend in a country setting. Lots of training items and play items in the area (bubble gun, extra toys, treats, tree ropes, sand box, etc.) The owners are awesome and have poop bags, water for your dogs, and water for you. Highly recommend- even for reactive dogs!Kiera B.

55The park is fantastic! Plenty of trees. Plenty of open space. Lots of amenities. We had a birthday party and the owner had so many wonderful things for the dogs including birthday hats, pup cakes, pup cups, treats, toys, water, sandbox, agility items, water for adults, seasonal decorations and personalized decorations for the birthday dog. The location is rural and has incredible scenery on the drive there and at the park. You're surrounded by horses and a barn and a beautiful sunset. The dogs had a blast and so did we! Jean A.

55This spot is incredible! It is very clean & offers lots of fun "extras" like Jolly Balls, chuck-its, and many other fun toys. There is always fresh water & treats for the doggos. She sometimes even leaves home made treats for the humans! I am a foster for a dog rescue and have a pack of 4 of my own dogs. We LOVE visiting this spot. It gives the whole pack a chance to run & play together!Amy G.

55Julie had so many fun toys and obstacles and lots of space for our pups to run. My friend and I were able to sit in a covered area where there were even blankets and hand warmers available. The space was very well-kept. Willow and Goose had a great time!Allyson M.

FAQ about our Chilton 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.
