55Beautiful location! Loved it! Very large securely fenced in area. We walked the whole perimeter of the fence and my dog smelled all the smells. There is also a lovely shaded spot to sit. You can see other dogs in another fenced in area for their boarding dogs. Shannon G.

55This was our third visit to this spot, and great as ever. My dog always has a great time zooming around, playing with some outside toys we bring with us, and this time we also did some helpful outside training stuff that we’re working on. Highly recommend this spot!Alice N.

55There is so much space! The area was clean and flat. Plenty of water for the dogs. There was a small shade area but really that is all you need if you aren't in a big group. Definitely recommend.Josh L.

55My foster dog had a wonderful time exploring the huge yard. I'm waiting on installation of my fence so he's always on a leash. He was in heaven running, walking and sniffing then entire field. Well kept and secure area with shade and seats for the humans. Sheila K.

55I was so impressed with the size of your fully fenced 2+acres. Seemed to almost be more than we needed! Our three dogs were obviously not expecting they could move so far from us without being called back. It was extremely hot so the playing was a bit limited, but the pool you have for them to cool off was the perfect thing My big boy, 9yrs, really enjoyed it. No trees, just a great wide open field of grass and wild flowers, so we thank you for the gazebo and chairs for much-needed shade. I will definitely be bringing them back again this summer, and definitely more often in the Fall! Thank you for this awesome Sniffspot!Dottie B.

55This was a lovely first SniffSpot experience!! We are driving from NJ to Texas so our pup can finally meet his extended family, and found the Freedom Farm to be worth the deviation off our course! Megan is very responsive! We enjoyed a short romp with a perfectly time interlude from the rain. Beautiful, large fenced play area! Perfect!Laura P.

FAQ about our Emmitsburg 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 Emmitsburg?
There are 63 dog fields in the Emmitsburg area. The most popular dog field is Canine Lifestyle Farm Play & Sniff. 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 Emmitsburg area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is Shell Creek Romp Area. The most expensive dog field is Shell Creek Romp Area. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
