55Wow! My dogs and I had a blast! Worth the drive! They enjoyed frolicking in the forested area and building their confidence with some of the agility equipment. Melissa’s instructions to the house were spot-on and the Sniffspot is well-marked upon arrival. Amy R.

55I have a 65lb and a 100lb dog and the wire fence was tall and sturdy, to where I didn’t worry they could jump it. You can tell how much care is put into this sniff spot - it was incredible. My dogs had so, so much fun running around, and I appreciated the opportunity to work with them on whistle recall on a big, wooded, and hilly lot where they could get out of sight. The agility course is an incredible bonus. Audrey C.

55We had a wonderful time! Melissa was very quick to respond to any questions and her space was exactly as described. My dog had a lot of fun romping around, exploring, playing with a few of the toys, and practicing some agility. We will definitely be back!Mehak G.

55#1 Sniff spot i have been to! The forested area is so awesome and it's all fenced in. The only thing I heard was wind whistling through the pines and birds chirping. The drive from Denver isn't bad at all. I know both of my dogs loved it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! It is sweet! Fun drive up there, everything you need for a great dog day! Including all kinds of chairs and shade!Shawn R.

55My reactive German Shepherd had the time of her life! It was her first time on an agility course and the running around the forest was great. Plenty of toys around to play with. Ended the session with a quick dip in the doggie pool. Will definitely be back!Jimmy R.

55This was an awesome experience, both the dogs and I enjoyed ourselves. Our favorite part is the Forrest area. It was so worth the long drive from Loveland. We will definitely go again before the weather breaks unless I trade in my sedan for a 4Runner lol. ❤️❤️❤️Asionna H.

55This was my second visit and it was again 10/10! My pups aren’t interested in the agility course unfortunately but the fenced in forest section is heaven! This spot is an hour drive but there is a separate restroom for humans in their garage! Julianne Y.

55It was our first time here and both of my dogs had a wonderful time! They explored and played until they were completely wiped, and the property was lovely/exactly what we were looking for. The owner was very thoughtful and considerate of everything that we may need and communicated well. We’ll be back for sure!Rachel K.

55We had the BEST time!!! Paul and I both forgot our phones so couldn't take any photos but Chuck had a lovely time in the agility yard and then in the woods. Just getting to be off leash and safe. It's so beautiful and comforting there. We'll be back again and again!Donna B.

55Wow! Words can’t even describe this place. We brought our 3 pups and it had something for each one of them! Soft, pine covered spots for our old man to sniff, bins full of toys and areas to throw the ball for our play-driven one, and a fully-fenced/very secure fence for our escape artist! Highly recommend to others - we will absolutely return! Cara J.

55Wow! Such a wonderful space. My pup had and incredible time using the agility course and running free in the wooded area. It was comforting to know that the area was completely fenced in and he went exploring the huge area. Extremely peaceful and the area has multiple shaded spots with chairs to sit, plenty of toys, water bowls and dog bags. Definitely a place where you could spend hours playing. We will be coming back!Amanda G.

55Beautiful spot for dogs to wander safely! My friend and her pup (dog-reactive) and my two dogs (one with a high prey drive) enjoyed a beautiful visit. Our pups ran around for 30 minutes sniffing their hearts out, then followed us around the property like good herding dogs. This was exactly what we were looking for in a Sniffspot.
The host provides plenty of poop bags, toys, water, small pool and an agility field. There are nice places to sit if you want to relax while your dogs play. There is also plenty of shade.
A few things to note: the fenced area (separate from the agility field) is steep in parts, and also if you have a low car, you need to be careful on the dirt road right before you get to the spot.
A stellar spot for pup and human. We want to book again soon. Shelly B.

FAQ about our Black Hawk 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 Black Hawk area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog field is N Seattle Doggo Paradise. The most expensive dog field is N Seattle Doggo Paradise. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
