55Beautiful yard with lots of areas for the dogs to sniff, plenty of room to run, lots of shady areas to lay and fresh water left out. There was a dog in the yard to the north when we arrived but he was not reactive at all, just very curious. Our dogs did not even notice him. Kelly H.

55Had a great time! So much shade and soft grass to run around in! There are a couple neighboring dogs to the back that didn’t seem to like my dog, but I was able to keep him away from the back fence easily! Other than that it was beautiful and comfortable!Alayna H.

55This was my first Sniffspot session and it was awesome! The instructions on where to park and how to access the yard were perfect. My communications with the host were so helpful & friendly. Best of all, my reactive dog had the most fun running and fetching. We can’t wait to book another session with this host. Elizabeth M.

55Nice large sniffspot with plenty of running and sniffing room. There are chickens in view from the backside of the property in the neighbor's yard, if that's a concern. Cheryl W.

55This was our first visit to any sniff spot. It was clean and spacious and our dogs had a good time there! It was good to have a new space to explore. I appreciated that water was available.
I will say that little dogs might find ways to wiggle through some gaps in the fence, but that wasn’t a problem for us.Julie S.

55Easy enough for my first time using sniffspot. I would CAUTION the road can be pretty busy and parking on the easement made me a bit uncomfortable. Also, my border collie ran straight through the entry gate (30lb dog) and my rott got her head stuck trying to follow. I managed to get it unhooked with a little patience but it wasn’t the easiest thing with a blockhead stuck and causing tension. It’s a nice yard and they have plenty of toys for your dog to use. Yes, there was dog poop. But it was the kind of dog poop you only find by stepping in it — nothing glaringly obvious and it’s a popular spot so unavoidable. There was water for the dogs to drink and the dogs had a blast.Katarina C.

55Great and clean space! Easy to find. The neighbor does have a dog, there is a fence but just beware if you have a dog that is scared of other dogs 😊Sierra D.

55Great, clean place to let the dogs run! It was nice to have grass and no mud. The dog next door was out and very visible from the space. It was quiet and a non issue for our dogs but something to consider for people with reactive dogs. We hope to be back soon! Katie S.

55My dog and I had a great time. The yard was very clean. We had a fresh snow and my doggo loves to roll in the snow, so I think he left even cleaner than he was when we arrived. Much better than a muddy dog park. My dog had a blast sniffing and exploring the nice big yard. We will definitely be coming back! Deb E.

FAQ about our Boulder 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 Boulder area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is Velvet Ears Ranch. The most expensive dog field is Velvet Ears Ranch. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
