55It’s always been great, but I was unable to make it there today, I got lost in the construction around Anoka. My gps kept advising to get off at an exit that was closed. I need to find a new route! See you next time, Tracy N.

55My dogs get so excited to re-visit our Sniff Spot that they whine and wiggle the whole way there. When at the Spot, all four run and play together the entire time. Tired dogs are good dogs.Jean C.

55One of my favorite Sniffspots in the area! I haven't been there for a while (a drive for me), but like your improvements--comfortable places to sit and a water fountain with a foot pump. Hands free! My dogs had a blast.Cheryl G.

55This was our first time here and I'm sure we'll return! It was great private dog-park experience for my reactive dog! Good clear areas for running and play as well as nice patches of woods for sniffing around.Huck B.

55Our first Sniff Spot! What a fun way to explore new places with the pups. We came with a friend who has a non-dog park dog, so this was a great way for them to run free! Thanks for the great time!Bryn F.

55We usually don't make it out much over the winter because neither of us likes the snow much, so it's been exciting for her and I to continue visiting regularly. She always knows where we're going once we exit the freeway. 3 acres of beautiful peace and quiet and freedom. Kris M.

55This is our favorite Sniffspot - my dog loves it here! Stacy is very thoughtful and we appreciate the little touches, like the small towels she leaves out to wipe muddy dogs down. Marina N.

55This spot is in a really peaceful place and it has everything including variety of trees, lots of interesting smells, trails, toys, places to sit and a great perimeter to walk. You won’t find a better spot and it will set a new standard.Susan C.

55Always fun to visit, even on a windy February evening. The turf has a few high-traffic muddy patches to walk carefully on- they're almost dried out though & you can tell they're from dogs enjoying themselves. Always makes me smile to see the many sizes of footprints from running doggos!Libby B.

55We had a great time exploring this enormous sniff spot! We loved all of the toys offered and lounging in the swing chair :) we heard some barking in the distance when we first arrived but didn't see any dogs. There we quite a few muddy patches, but lots of dry areas too. Overall, a wonderful sniffspit we would definitely visit again!Vanessa H.

55We always enjoy going to this spot. This past weekend, we noticed that there are more signs asking folks to respect the property otherwise it'll be shut down. If you visit this sniffspot, please take care of it... Our reactive dogs need a space like this one. Reo F.

55Always fun here! The host has put up helpful signs & sawhorse barricades on the worst of the wet turf- these unseasonably warm temps have made most outdoor spaces very squishy! The dogs were unphased & enjoyed romping through brush & slush alike. Libby B.

55Great visit as always! Turf was almost totally dried out from the brief snow we had a couple weeks ago. My pup was disappointed not to be able to splash through mud (my car upholstery & I were thrilled). :) Libby B.

FAQ about our Dayton 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.
