55This sniff spot was amazing for me and my German shepherd. The owner was very well prepared and had toys for the dogs to play with. There were plenty of areas to explore, including a pond, a yard, and trails in a field (that were well maintained). My dog had a blast running around and sniffing everything. The yard was large enough to play fetch with him, and he also enjoyed the pond. The spot was very private, and the owner was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely come back to this sniff spot and recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and safe place for their dog.

55Amazing sniff spot! We’ve been to many and this is one of the best. Mandy was such an awesome host & super responsive. Beautiful property! My dogs did try to eat some dead fish from the pond and they may have managed to sneak a few but dogs will be dogs 🤦🏻♀️ possible upset tummy later would still be well worth the AMAZING enrichment! So many smells, sights, sounds & tons of area to run and run and just be dogs! We will be back 🙌🏼 thank you for sharing your property with us for a little while 😊Haley A.

55My dogs loved it! Definitely worth the drive, my two dogs were exhausted by the end. I found it very secure, one of my dogs is an escape artist but I kept him on a long leash, and he didn’t try anything with all the space around anyways. 👍Natalia R.

55This Sniffspot was so fun, my dog enjoyed her time thoroughly! There was plenty of room in the main fenced area for our little cattle dog to run and chase her toys across the property. Now, the 8 acres is fantastic, but for Pepper she would probably find a way to escape, but otherwise, everything remained secure. There is a sign when you arrive that marks it as a sniff spot, which is fantastic in case you fear you may miss it. The hostess also put out toys for us like frisbees, tennis balls, rope toys, SPF, hand sanitizer, AND treats! We really enjoyed our time here! Thank you for everything, Mandy!Alexa R.

55First time using Sniffspot! Found this property and knew it would be perfect to take my German Shepherd. There is a large pond where he spent most of his time swimming and there are trails throughout the property. My GSD had the best time at this place, looking forward to going again.Brenna P.

55This review is long overdue considering how often I’ve come to this spot. This spot is perfection. I’ve got 3 large dogs of my own and a “grand puppy” pit bull that I occasionally dog sit. One is an escape artist but I never have to worry that he will figure out how to get free. Unlike other sniff spots that might be a large yard or pasture without many interesting visuals, this one is as visually interesting as it is large with plenty of space. My dogs love running the different trails through the trees, playing in the pond, exploring the fields and running full bore as often as they can. This place is also refreshing and peaceful for us humans! Seriously, it’s GORGEOUS. Mandy is a wonderful host who has thought of everything you might need while you’re there. The fact that’s she’s not booked out 25/7 is a travesty, but selfishly I’m so glad she’s not. I drive 40 mins there and back passing other sniff spots to go here, if that tells you anything. Take your dogs here…..you won’t regret it. Melanie S.

55This Spot is great! We did a few rounds of fetching sticks in the pond (and losing a Frisbee, oops - IOU) and drying off by walking the trails. This place is a blast. Aimee R.

FAQ about our Alvarado 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.
