55The dogs loved splashing around in the pond and running in the field. And it’s always convenient to be able to park inside the fenced area so I don’t even have to leash them up to walk into the space. Thanks for having us!!Aryn H.

55Alison’s sniffspot was so much fun! Our two dogs had the best time running around and playing in the pond. With one of our dogs being reactive, this was the perfect spot to let him (and us) have some freedom and fun without worrying! Alison was very communicative and welcoming as well! We’ll be back :) Kary K.

55This is a wonderful Sniffspot. Our dog can be anxious in new surroundings, but she was relaxed the entire visit. Lots of room to run around and explore. There were lots of balls and a few chuck its to choose from. The sitting area by the pond is comfortable and located so we could keep an eye on our dog while she was running around exploring. We will definately be going back. Sarah K.

55This location was pawfect for Nalu’s 2nd birthday party. All the dogs had something to keep them entertained. Some chased a ball the whole time, some swam and some just watched while basking in the sun. The water wasn’t too deep so even new swimmers felt comfortable getting the ball out of the water.

55My dog loved running around. He was fascinated by the pool and jumped in but was too scared to try again. We’ll definitely be back and thanks for providing!Tiffany L.

55This place is actually paradise. Allison is very kind, and she even had towels available for our pups to use after a swim! The pool is clean and fresh and the view was so lovely. There is lots of life in this area, and it was the perfect place to safely acclimate our reactive pups to different sounds and animals. We recommend booking two hours, because time flies here. Will be back! Andy H.

FAQ about our Bodega Bay 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.
