55Lovely place! My dog had so much fun alternating between running around and skinny dipping in the pond. We also walked on the trail. Rick is a great host; his instructions were very clear and property lines clearly marked. Thanks Rick and we'll be back for sure!Tam C.

55Wonderful place. Very clean, easy to find where to park, and a kind owner who really loves dogs. My girl Jade loved being here and using the dock. There isn't a scooper to retrieve items from the lake, so if you are worried about your dog leaving items in the lake, you may want to bring something to grab them. Overall, it was a fun experience for my dog, and I am so happy she loved it. Rebecca H.

55We’ve been coming here for over a year. The dogs know this place really well but always go directly to their favorite area, the pond. And now I love the shaded sitting area. It’s such a nice place for humans to relax, and the dogs to have fun. Thanks! Lorena H.

55My 16 month old Yellow Lab loved this place! The owner was very nice. Cooper swam in the pond and lived zooming around the fields. It was so nice being able to let him off leash and not worry about other dogs or people. The little things like extra dog toys, a bowl and fresh water, and bug spray for the humans was so thoughtful. We’ll be back! Amy S.

55Clean, welcoming, and safe. Our dogs had a great time playing in the pond on a day that would have been too hot for them without water access. Megan N.

55Our dogs had the BEST time. Both are rescues who used to live with access to a lake, so they were absolutely ecstatic to be able to do some swimming again and run around with each other. The property is the perfect size to let them run with each other and do some great sniffs. Taylor B.

55My dogs didn't want to leave! The pond was their favorite part. There is a nice mix of forests, grassy areas and mowed trails. Rick was super friendly and helpful during our quick meet. He even provided a map of the property which came in handy. Deborah S.

55Amazing Sniffspot! Beautiful area, nicely groomed trails and very clean! The pond was the main attraction for my pup and he jumped off a dock for the first time! Will definitely be back often in the warmer months. Rick was super accommodating with us since our GSD is human and dog reactive - which was much appreciated! Allison B.

FAQ about our Big Pool 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.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Big Pool area range from $9.0 and $9.0. The least expensive dog field is Where Furry Friends Come To Play. The most expensive dog field is Where Furry Friends Come To Play. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
