55We had a great time visiting this new Sniffspot. Nicole has clearly been working hard to get ready to welcome dogs and their people to her property. The amenities are all there, and everything is clearly marked and the area is clean. Brambles had been cut down back in the wooded area to give the dogs a place to romp, and the covered area would be great for little dogs if it was raining.Heidi S.

55This sniff spot is easy to get to and signs let you know where to park and where to go. The fully fenced area had a fresh jug of water for the dogs and all kinds of toys! It is surrounded by a pretty garden and forested area. Everything is in good repair, and you can tell the owners care about providing a welcoming and safe environment. We will be back!Sara G.

55My Cali dogs are still learning how to “dog” up here and this spot was perfect for them to figure it out 🤦♀️😂. Great fenced in area for my escapee pug and my terrier to be off leash. Also took them outside of that for a leashed walk heading towards the back of the property. Appreciate the toys, water and cleanliness. We will be back. Thank you!Heather P.

55This was our 1st time here using Sniff Spot and I’m sure the Host knew we were there but it was so enjoyable and very clean. Our fur babies really enjoyed themselves! Next time we will venture out to the woods. The Host had treats for our babies. Just a very pleasant time!

55Easy access, very well marked for parking and yard access. Lovely grounds, very well kept and pretty. We used both the smaller yard and adventured into the backwoods area too. Secure fencing for my larger dogs, chickens were quite interesting for Effie, Buck didn't care much. ...too many new smells to smell and fresh grass to chew on. Owner left us treats and a nice clean dog bowl with fresh water. A lovely spot, can't wait to visit again.Julie M.

55This is such a beautiful space with many well thought out details to ensure the health and safety of pups. The host was friendly and communicative. There is a lot of variety to explore. We will return! First-timer note: I didn’t realize that closing the gate upon entering is what made the space fully fenced. Melanie H.

55This place is fantastic! Flower and I have visited many different Sniffspots and she was very excited by all of the variety at Summit Ridge Ranch. The host communicated everything I needed to know to find the place and get settled in. Everything was clearly marked and I had no troubles finding the different play areas. There are chickens in the back lot and a horse was visible, but Flower was just interested in them more than anything. There were nice touches too, and it is clear that the host cares about her space and the people and pups she welcomes there. Amy P.

55The space was clean and well maintained. I opted to add the Easter Egg Hunt to our experience and my dog loved it! He hunted around the whole back property and found all of the treat eggs and the surprise at the end. Nicole was so friendly and helped us get started on the hunt. My dog and I then spent the rest of the hour in the dog space playing fetch. It was a great environment. My dog has a lot of anxiety, and the space that Nicole has is a perfect place to take him. We will definitely be going back!Jaquiline F.

55Fencing was plenty secure for my two huskies! Host supplied fresh water, toys, towels for drying off, treats, and poop bags, all of which I super appreciated! The property is beautiful with tons of space to run and play, and lots of interesting scents. It was very clean as well, I didn't see any dog poop!Jessica S.

55Wonderful place for the dogs! The owner has thought of everything- toys, water, little treats, all clean and sanitized. My GPS took me exactly there with no issues. There are signs directing you on the property, including where to park. The space offers an smaller indoor area, a level, grassy play area, and then the forest-y backwoods. I loved the separate outdoor areas because it allowed me to play fetch and more focused training in the first area, and free play and sniffing in the back area. Also, I was unsure of how one of my dogs would do with the chickens, even with them being enclosed, but not an issue at all with the layout. I highly recommend and we'll be back!!Michelle B.

55Above and beyond! Friendly and communicative host. This is a beautiful, safe, secluded and convenient location for our pack. This is also the first Sniffspot I’ve seen with both an indoor and outdoor play area. Our dogs had a great Easter egg hunt today and the host even provided us with toys to play with and towels to dry off with before getting in the car. Well worth the drive!Jessi P.

FAQ about our Fircrest 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.
