55A great place to take our puppy, though some caution and a decent recall are important. We saw a deer on the road part of the walk where it isn’t really fenced. Beautiful, definitely glad we had a long line 😊 a good sized section was also cleared of snow giving our girl’s paws a bit of a break. Brittany M.

55I've been coming to this spot for almost a year now. I find when I need a mental break from the city this is always my go to. My dogs are always excited when we pull up - there's plenty to sniff and lots of room to run. The retriever boy in particular protests when it comes time to leave.
It's also wonderful to see how the property started out to what it's become now - the owners have done a great job and I'm so grateful that a place like this is offered to us and our pets. Teagan N.

55Hi- My husband brought one of our Aussie's to Old Yellers. He loved the experience, and sent me video evidence that our dog, Figgy, loved it as well. I can't wait for the ice to melt a little bit so that I can take both of my dogs for a walk there. Thank you, Janice, for making Old Yellers available :)Annie D.

55Not only is the space huge and well kept, Janice is also an amazing host. She was extremely prompt and helpful when I ran into some billing issues. She was kind and a pleasure to deal with!
40 acres has been such a gift for us, as we have a big, sweet guardian breed who gets aggressive towards unfixed male dogs, but loves to play. We never thought we would be able to find such a big, affordable space to bring him to play with his frisbee and his friends so close to the city.
Thank you Janice for providing your space for so many dog owners! Pierce B.

55I love heading to this Sniffspot! I’ve been going here since my puppy turned into a reactive teen and it’s such a relaxing time to just walk and play fetch without worrying about other dogs. A significant amount of work has been put into clearing up the property and it’s greatly appreciated! Erica F.

55Dogs had so much fun! Lots of puddles though, be prepared to go straight into a bath when you get home!
Bring toys for throwing as there are some trees to explore but a big portion is an open field.
Will definitely be making this a regular visit! Felt super safe letting my reactive guy off leash. Aadra V.

55Janice is great! She texted me the night before our booking to say that there were idles and we might want to bring towels. I really appreciate that. We were lucky though; the ground was still frozen. Zinovia H.

55Heard some dogs barking in the distance but we couldn’t see them and they certainly weren’t close enough to stress out my pup - got his attention but not stressed ;) Another great visit!Katrina H.

FAQ about our Sherwood Park 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.
