55I don’t even know where to start the nicest people in the world let’s start there!! Amazing vibe an the yard is the best place to take a dog, beats dog parks by a million! My dogs spend half the time just exploring. The pond is awesome for dogs perfect depth on the outer edge. All the space you could ask for an for the price it’s a steal. Would pay 50 an hour anyday for the amount of fun they had out there!! Javonta B.

55My pups had a blast! They loved swimming in the pond and there was more than enough room to run around and dry off. The neighbor dog did come out about halfway through our time, there is a chain fence separating the yards but he barked for the first few minutes he was out there. The property was big enough that I could create space for my dog-reactive dog. Overall a great experience!Rachael Y.

55Absolutely beautiful spot!!! It's obvious that the owners put thought and consideration into hosting, my dogs *really* loved the spot!!!! Couldn't get my girl out of the water, and her brother smelled every square inch of the space after taking a dip himself. We'll definitely be back!! Jessica M.

55(This review may be dramatic, but I'm good with that.) It was a joy meeting Monica and her space was absolutely beautiful! The space was lovely and clean, her communications were prompt and kind (I was running late and in a panic and she was the sweetest about it, going so far as to wish me safe travels) and she even put out two huge umbrellas to help shield us from the incoming rain. (Which were very helpful, by the way - they kept all of our belongings dry while we romped in the rain. Thank you again for that!!) My sweet, nearly-14-year-old boy is getting to slow down. Since having to move from our home into apartment living years ago, I've done all I could to get us a place where he would once again have a yard to protect and do all his finest sunbathing, most intense landswims, and best birdwatching.. but it's looking like that won't happen before he leaves for a much bigger adventure. Yesterday, Monica made it possible for him to have a yard again before he embarks on that journey. I had invited my whole family and a photographer friend of mine, which Monica welcomed warmly and without hesitation, and we were able to let him enjoy and experience the space to his heart's content however he liked - all while grabbing up invaluable memories of him and his essence and /finally/ getting those 'dog-included family portraits' we always talked about but never got around to. Monica gave us something that I will absolutely never forget. The kindness she shows in sharing her space is no small thing and my gratitude for her and this day is not something that will ever fade. Thank you so much, Monica; you cannot possibly know what yesterday meant to us. ♡Aalliyah W.

55This was our first Sniffspot visit, and Monica (and her super kind husband) have set the bar high for us. It’s a beautiful place with lots of room to run and explore…and kept my wild 16 mo old Malinois busy. He loved playing in the small pond, jumping over the creek, and saying hello to the chickens who were well contained and certainly used to pups. Highly recommend! Jessica S.

55First time here and we had a blast! Completely fenced in and my dog is an escapee so he would try if he could 😂 the neighbor dog came out for a quick sec in the neighbors yard and gave a little warning bark but it was friendly and then went back inside. We will definitely be back. McKayla D.

There were chickens that were caged, which was interesting to see my puppy notice and inspect for the first time. She loooved being able to run and hop in the pond. :)Ashley L.

55Such a nice spot. It’s like visiting your own park. Our dog loved all the smells and land to run! They were even kind enough to ask the neighbor to keep their dogs inside while we were there since our dog is reactive to other dogs. We’ll be back!Stephanie P.

FAQ about our Columbus 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.
How can I find dog fields in Columbus?
There are 33 dog fields in the Columbus area. The most popular dog field is Bolte's Backyard Oasis. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
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 Columbus area range from $15.0 and $15.0. The least expensive dog field is Bolte's Backyard Oasis. The most expensive dog field is Bolte's Backyard Oasis. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
