55We can’t describe how grateful we are to have found this gem, it’s only a 10 minute drive for us and allowed our pups to run free in the safety of a private field. The location was beautiful and our dogs had so much fun bounding through the tall grass and running to their hearts content.
Having two high energy dogs that have dog aggression tendencies has been challenging as they love the freedom of being off leash but we always struggled finding a safe place for them to roam so they rarely ever get that opportunity. But now finding this location, and seeing how much joy it brought our pups and how tired they were after their short visit I can honestly say we are planning on becoming regulars. ❤️
And thank you Janice for being so friendly and welcoming! 🐾 Jillian E.

55What a great big field to romp in! The grass was quite tall, which made for good entertainment watching my pup bound over it. Lots of thistles too unfortunately but a little better in the main track path. My pup loved jumping in and out of the swampy puddles - just be prepared to get your feet wet because you can’t always tell where they start. We will be back. Amanda S.

55We visited today with 2 dogs, one who a rescue with reactivity towards other dogs so finding a safe space to let her run and practice recall can be challenging.
Janice, the owner, is friendly and quick to answer questions.
There is plenty of open space which makes it easy to keep track of the dogs. There are only a few wildlife trials in the open area so tall boots are a necessity. The snow definitely makes for a good workout for both humans and dogs. If one didn’t want to walk as much there are several high points to watch the dogs run from. My 7 year old wanted to explore though, so we got nearly as much exercise as the dogs!
We would definitely visit again! Margorie K.

55Today was our first time visiting and we really enjoyed ourselves! We have 3 socially awkward dogs so it's hard to go places without always being on guard but we were able to do that today. There isn't any signage other than telling you where to park but it was easy enough to find (just up the hill as instructed prior to booking) and other than the trail leading up to the field area the walking trails aren't groomed but that isn't a must for us - we quite enjoyed trekking through the deep snow and the dogs had a blast zooming through it!
The field provides a nice open area to play with your dog and keep an eye on them while you hike but there are bushes off to the side that lead into the neighbors lots so you want to make sure your dog has good recall and won't take off. Hoping to come play again soon! We loved this place and it doesn't get much better than 40 acres. Huge thank you from us (Teagan and Beck) and love and licks from 3 very tired boys - Marcus, Tucker, and Jasper 🐶.Teagan N.

55We have two dogs and one is very reactive so he doesn’t do well at the off leash dogs parks. We were looking for a place to bring them to run around freely to play. This had tonnes of space for them. We will definitely return!Jessica W.

55Spring is here and this sniffspot is green and woodsy with lots for the pups to explore. The owners have done great things with the road to the back field - the wire fence has been removed and they've been tidying up some of the underbrush. Highly recommend this location for a nice jaunt. There is a little bit of a pond at bottom of the hill by the entrance, so if your dog, like mine, enjoys the squishy feeling of mud between their toes, you might want to bring a towel...Robbi B.

FAQ about our Edmonton 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.
