55Pups had great fun. The yard was big and beautiful. We did visit before the snow and the bottom was a bit muddy. The dogs didn’t care. My reactive boy did spot a dog across the tracks in back and barked a little - but the fences are sturdy and it was no problem. We will be back !Cindy W.

55This is a great huge yard - a perfect place for my very energetic lab to get big long runs! It’s very clean and has very secure fence. There’s a nice hill and a person could easily relax on the flat area or use the time for a hill workout walking up and down. kristina C.

55Such a great space- my dog had the best time running back and forth with the dog next door. There was also plenty of space for him to roam and sniff. Katie B.

55What a great space for dogs! I was worried in the beginning because the neighbor dog came to the fence and there was a lot of barking between my dogs and that one. Fortunately, her owner called her off and it was great after that. We could hear dogs barking periodically but far enough away that mine didn’t care. Huge yard, lots of space to run. It’s on a hill so expect a little mud if you go after a rain. Thanks, Chelsea, for sharing your yard.Tina W.

55This is a nice open space- lots of room for your dog(s) to run and sniff around. The fence is very tall and secure. There was a neighbor dog next door that was looking at us through the fence but it was all good. No drama from either side :)
The yard is very clean too! A great Sniff Spot! Shelly T.

55Great space for my pup to run around and explore! Perimeter fence was high enough to keep my escape artist in 🙂. Only hiccup was when the neighbor’s dog came over to the fence and my reactive pup lost her cool. The neighbor came over, grabbed his pup and headed inside promptly, so it was over quickly.Maddy B.

55Wow! This place is amazing!! Very big space for lots of sniffing and fetching! Our dog can be reactive when he sees other dogs along fence lines and this is something to keep in mind as you can see through most of the fences on this property. Fences are tall and very sturdy, so I didn’t worry about my guy escaping. We did see a few across the railroad tracks but there is some fabric up to block visibility to that yard which is helpful. Many barking dogs in neighborhood on this particular day but it was super nice so I think everybody was out enjoying the sun! We’ll definitely be booking here again 🐶 🎾 Holly S.

55Big space with great five foot fence. Nice gate to get in. Clean. It’s on a hill but lots of room for ball chasing. We only stayed half our time because our 8 month old husky was obsessed with the neighbor dog so if you have dogs that can’t leave a fence dog encounter alone you might not want this spot. Otherwise it seems great. Susan C.

55Good, detailed parking and entry instruction. The yard is fantastic—our pups wore themselves out running up and down the hilly lawn and chasing around the fenced in perimeter (the fencing felt very secure). We heard no other dogs, neighbors, or traffic during our visit—which allowed our reactive girl to really let her guard down to play and explore. We are looking forward to our next visit!Tami B.

FAQ about our Bloomington 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.
