55This is not only the best Sniffspot in Albuquerque - it’s the best one I’ve ever been to! Carolyn and Stephanie have put so much thought into the space. It’s probably the cleanest, tidiest spot I’ve ever seen, with lots of shade and water, plenty of room to run, and all the toys and equipment you could possibly need. I literally booked our next visit while we were still there - we’ll be coming back from Santa Fe just to revisit this spot. Thanks so much for a lovely time!Sarah K.

55I received clear directions and there was a small sign on the gate to let me know I'd arrived. The location is peaceful with a few sounds of dogs and a rooster from surrounding properties. The ground is dirt with bark, and there are quite a few trees. There is an enclosed area away from the front gate for dogs who might be bothered by animals passing in the street, and after an initial visit there we expanded into the larger area. Drinks for humans are provided, as well as a first aid kit, insect repellants, and chairs. Many toys are available, as well as some agility equipment. I felt welcomed and comfortable - they even gave us cookies! - and although my dog is often anxious in new spaces, she relaxed here almost immediately. On this visit, all she wanted to do was check out the interesting new scents, but we'll have plenty to do in future visits. We were both very happy with our experience.Morgan S.

55This was the first time we tried a sniffspot and it was the perfect experience for our pup and for us! Our pup mostly sniffed (of course!) but also was able to roam freely and try out the various agility equipment which he had never done before, so he jumped the little rails, went up and down the steps and just seemed to be really relaxed and enjoying. The setting is so lovely and was supplied with all kinds of toys, balls, etc, which our pup wasn't all that interested in, but it's nice to have them available, plus water for him and us. Just all around a great experience. We only did a 1/2 hour this time, but will surely be back for more and look forward to perhaps a little agility training and more with Caroline and Stephanie! Thank you for making this available. It makes all the difference cause we will not go to dog parks! Alicia U.

We both really loved her approach all around and how she interacted with our dog and look forward to working with her and the pup to teach him some manners! He totally enjoyed himself today as seen in the pics! Alicia U.

55Such a great spot! Lots of room to run around, tunnels and jumps were out for the dogs to play on, and very securely fenced all around. My dogs had a ton of fun and were exhausted by the time we left! Thanks, Carolyn, for hosting! Mackenzie F.

55After a little trouble finding the right gate (no thanks to Google Maps) we finally got in! Victoria kindly opened the main gate and lead us to the yard. Our little dog Radar had a great time running around, sniffing every corner and cooling off in the kiddie pool. We tried out SniffSpot for his birthday, but we'll definitely be back since this is a great alternative to dog parks. Shelby W.

55Great spot! Nice shaded yard for the dogs to run around and play. Victoria had some great tips about the area and fun places to visit with the dogs (I’m only in town for the week and don’t know ABQ). Super friendly and welcoming. And I got to pet an alpaca as a bonus! Sarah K.

55Victoria and her husband are so kind! My meeting ran over, so we were late and Victoria let us stay later to make up for the lost time. She even played with my *very* obnoxious frenchie. The property is spacious and gorgeous. My pups had a great time. We'll definitely be back. Thank you!Amber M.

55LOVED this space (we both did)!
Lots of smells and toys, no prickles (princess hates those in her paws), and super easy and great communication with Victoria! She obviously knows how to act around dogs and my sometimes reactive dog didn’t even care when she walked outside and we chatted for a little bit. We will definitely be back! Jessica M.

55I have show dogs. For that reason I need a large private area to exercise them on occasions. Victoria was very accommodating and her area is very safe and clean. My dogs had a great time, they slept all the way home. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for a great experience!Tim T.

FAQ about our Albuquerque 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.
