55This was heaven on earth for my pup. Plenty of room to run and plants and trees to smell. We used it to train recalls and it went very well. We will definitely be back. Casalena B.

55Plenty of hiking space, plus additional amenities (toys, water/water bowls, bug spray). There was also a netted tent set up, which made it nice because it was raining off and on. We had an excellent time!! Sydney N.

55This was our first time using Sniffspot and we couldn't have picked a better place to try out! The fenced in area is large and there are places for pups to chase each other around, play fetch, and more. We will definitely be back to this particular spot in the future.
I was worried about finding the Sniffspot, but the directions are great and there are signs showing the parking spot and play area entrance when you get there, too.Erin N.

55Absolutely fantastic, well kept and tons of places to explore. Our city pup had a great time and is all tuckered out. We’ll definitely be adding this to our rotation! Pro-tip: bring some bug spray, it got a little buggy!Olivia Z.

55My goldens had an absolute blast here. I would totally recommend it. Love that it’s completely enclosed so I don’t have to worry about my puppy running away. Love that there was a toy bin there. And a water station especially since it was so hott today! I will definitely be back. Aime B.

55This is like Greta Kate's second home. Even with the frequent drizzling today, neither of us were bothered. Plus, there's a tent with chairs if you want to stay protected from the rain, etc. Kris M.

55Our dogs loved this spacious, but fenced area! Having all the new scents, but without other dogs was perfect for our little pack. They loved chasing each other/ playing hide and seek within the paths. It was clean and loved the amenities. We will be back!Cheyenne S.

FAQ about our Big Lake 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.
