55So excited to report that Fort Wayne’s first local SniffSpot is GREAT! Lots to explore—different habitats, textures, and terrain. My guy Petey struggles with both human and dog directed reactivity and aggression, so being able to book a large spot all to ourselves is wonderful.
This is a legit woods, so bring your nature dogs out to get dirty and live their best lives. Tiffany H.

55Great muddy fun after a spring rain! Petey’s many triggers make walks feel like a bit of an obstacle course sometimes, but I always feel safe at Marla’s, and Petey has a great time. Tiffany H.

55What an awesome property! We are in town for our FCRSA National Specialty and this was absolutely perfect for the dogs to stretch out their legs and get a little swimming in. Thank you very much for sharing your acreage with us! If we lived closer, I’d go broke visiting!Dawn M.

55Our weekly visits to Marla’s spot provide Petey with mental stimulation and physical exercise, which are super important for his anxious brain. Always enjoy our time here. Tiffany H.

55Very fun. The 1.5 hours we reserved were perfect for us. My dog loved splashing and rolling in the creek. It was nice letting my dog off leash not having to worry about other dogs or people.Katarina A.

55This SniffSpot was really great! It had a nice trail with lots of water in the back. I love that they have an outdoor restroom, water, poop bags, etc. too. Amber D.

55Marla's was exactly the type of spot I was looking for to let my boys run. We are here for the next couple of months for work and will definitely be going back regularly. They are use to sniffing around in woods, running around open spaces, and swimming regularly where we are from. They had the opportunity to do all 3 at Marla's! She was also extremely responsive to my messages. I've never experienced so much hospitality from someone who wasn't even on the property at the time. The only downfall is that it is not fenced in, so if your pups are not good off leash this probably is not the spot for you. Luckily my older one herds the younger one (who likes to wander) back to me, so we had no problem with that. I 100% recommend this place if you want a tuckered out pup!Nancy M.

FAQ about our Fort Wayne 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 Fort Wayne?
There are 11 dog fields in the Fort Wayne area. The most popular dog field is Augies. 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.

Dog fields in the Fort Wayne area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is Augies. The most expensive dog field is Augies. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
