55The space was wonderful for my dogs. There's a concrete path that goes all the way around the pond for walking and easy entry area into the pond for the dogs. I recommend long-line leashes for dogs without good recall.Katie Z.

55Super fun spot for our dogs to sniff and explore! Melissa left out towels which came in handy because we werenโt expecting our pup to go in. We also really enjoyed looking at the willow trees! Kylee K.

55Beautiful area for the pups to take a dip and run around. Melissa was very helpful and warned us about the algae build up in the water. Thankfully I donโt think it is blue green algae! The pups had a great time and were tuckered out by the end of our session. Lauren P.

55Gorgeous place! My dogs had such a blast with all the space. Not sure if we came at a time the sprinklers usually turn on but it was the icing on top of their zoomies. Never seen my little one so happy he even built up the courage to swim in the pond. The amount of shade was perfect to end the day with a picnic and cool down from the heat. Katrina B.

55My dog has IBD (irritable bowel disease). Every so often he gets in a flare and he is basically miserable. It just so happened that Merlin ended up in a horrible flare right before I initially scheduled the sniffspot. I rescheduled for a week later and he is still no better (yes we went to vet, been dealing with this illness for years now) but I forgot to reschedule or cancel. I contacted Melissa and let her know we are not coming, and that i understood we won't get a refund. I was totally fine with it. Melissa was extremely kind and went out of her way to offer another time when Merlin feels better. She checked in on us as well. It is nice to have kind, thoughtful people in this world so thank you Melissa.Michelle R.

FAQ about our Elk Grove 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.
