55I am so grateful for this particular spot. It’s perfect for my reactive pup bc there are no triggers and he can just be himself...a huge fenced in space of gently rolling grass for playing, running, working on recalls or just chilling out. It also happens to be beautiful and quiet and besides seeing my boy freely roaming about the whole experience did my heart good too. Thank you. Kim J.

55Big open sloped fenced field. Very private. Isaac Walton league is nearby so there is gunfire. Host provides everything your dog needs for a good time (plus chairs for humans).Kristi D.

55Huge yard/field for your dog to run safely off leash or just enjoy the smells. Very quiet and peaceful which is a huge help for my reactive dog. I drove from northern Virginia and wasn’t too bad of a drive on the weekend and worth the time for my dog to be able to decompress. The owner graciously leaves out a dog bowl, toys and there are seats for us humans to decompress as well Highly recommend!Mary D.

55This Spot is an important part of our lives now. It is perfect for our fearful dog as sniffing helps him freely decompress and we can work on building confidence safely... and great for humans who like to lay on the ground and stare at the sky! Beautiful spot.Kim J.

55We had a great time! Super clean, great sight lines, easy to access and very secure. Really appreciated the thoughtful hand warmers and open space for our pup to romp. Well worth the drive from Alexandria! Will be back with friends and their dogs for sure. Thank you for a great morning!Karen G.

55Directions to Sniffspot and use of host-provided amenities were very clear/specific. Easy to find; easy parking; easy access. Really appreciated the toys and available water -- and chairs for the humans. And there were handwarmers -- we didn't use them, but we really appreciated that they were there if needed! Our dogs loved being off-leash; they were completely tuckered out by the end of the hour. We'll be back!Steven C.

55The spot was GORGEOUS. The dogs loved it. My younger dog, Augusta, got to get all her zoomies out and Ryder had plenty of space to play fetch. There was also a ton of places for them to explore and sniff at. The area was also well stocked with toys, bags, and, thoughtfully, hand warmers, which we were SO greatful for. We had trouble wrangling the dogs into the car because they didn't want to leave! Definitely worth a revisit. Cait K.

55We loved Acres of fun, this was our first time using sniff spot and it was easy and great. This location was secure, 10 minutes from our house and quiet. Our labradoodle, Fred , had a great time running around. We have a small townhouse yard , so we will be coming again to get him tired.There was water and toys for the dogs.Jamila G.

55This was our first time using Sniff Spot at Acres of Fun in Mt Airy and we had a great time. Our puppy was able to run around with the kids and play. It was great to have the whole area to ourselves and we will definitely be going again! Alyssa E.

55I like this place! I walked the perimeter with my dog, just to make sure it was secure as advertised, and it was. There were two outdoor chairs that were comfortable and a box full of toys. Water was available, as promised, in the barn entrance.
The only thing I would suggest for the owner, is that they install a latch on the pink entrance gate, instead of relying on the ground to secure it when its closed.
Other than that (can be easily fixed) I will be back here with my GSP. She's a rescue I'm working with on recall commands, and having a secure, safe, private area so close to home is really great!

FAQ about our Brookeville 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.
