55Nice, private area to play fetch and let the dogs run. Not fully fenced, but my dogs aren’t escapists so that isn’t a requirement for me. There were several poop piles in the yard, maybe other visitors don’t pick up after their pets, but not too bad. Trash can is available for poop bags and a clean water station. As noted in description, it’s not easy to find using Google Maps so don’t even try. Just follow the directions the host left in the notes. I’ll definitely be back!Angie S.

55Great location for the dogs to run and play. Our pups found the little stream within a minute of arriving. Open sunny field but also trees and shade! Will definitely be back.Melinda G.

55This place was perfect for us. It’s a wide open space with plenty of room to run and the pups can cool their paws and get a drink in the creek. We will definitely return. Kelly L.

55This place was so fun! There was one small break in the fence in the upper back area so be aware if your dog is an escape artist. We will be back again!

55This was our first visit with our two very energetic Old English Sheepdogs - they had a running blast! The pasture was well maintained and nice touch with provided chairs and hammock for tired “parents”! Candy P.

55Lovely quiet spot in the morning. Liked that we could pull inside the gate and park inside the fence. There are a few toys and plenty of chairs for lounging. My dog was obsessed with the toys the whole time and if your dog doesn’t do well with toys, you may wanna do a quick sweep.Sarah H.

55Spacious and clean space, the fence includes a segment of creek, which was a wonderful feature for my pup. The fence appeared entirely secure. Plenty of shade and places to sit. We stopped here in a road trip and it was the perfect place for a good run for my dog. I initially missed the spot and Elizabeth kindly responded quickly to direct me. It’s easy to find just look for the gate and SniffSpot sign on the right. Kendra B.

55My pups LOVE this place! We have been back several times and they always have a good time. I will say sometimes there are people and dogs walking by on the road so beware of that if you have reactive pups! Chloe W.

55Our Pointer/Hound mix loved having free reign of the pasture and enjoyed splashing in the stream. My son was a big fan of the hammock! Beautiful afternoon watching the leaves fall and the dog run!Nicole G.

55My fur baby (and me!) absolutely loves going here! The field is huge and completely fenced (I have a smaller dog and the fence goes all the way to the ground, which is a BIG plus) with several chairs to sit in and even the new addition of a hammock! It’s alway well maintained and a really fun place to let her run!!Kimmy L.

FAQ about our Asheville 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.
