55Great place. We brought a nice picnic and let the dogs run and swim. One of our dogs is an avid swimmer and she couldn’t get enough of the water. Both loved the freedom to run and play. Great for dogs and their humans! Hosts were welcoming and made us feel the space was ours for the time we were there. Thank you! kathryn o.

55We had a fantastic time and our two Mini Aussie's loved it! The Pond is huge and has easy access points to get in and out. It's not too deep, but deep enough in spots so our little guys could try out their new Swimming skills. Alison is a great host and very nice, we will be booking again very soon! Steve K.

55We really enjoyed the person-made pond at Allison’s place. Our dog loves to swim so it was important for us to find a clean and safe place for him to be. Allison’s place provided that for our pup, we will definitely return!Joan F.

55Scheduling a reservation was easy through the app, and Alison was communicative and welcoming. The property is large with a dog pond, allowing our senior pup the opportunity to explore and swim off leash. We enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back!Robert M.

55Our two fun loving Aussies had a great romp and splash! Our host, Alison, welcomed us with a big smile and an invite to let the dogs out and have fun! We brought our own towels but she had them on offer and Alison also left a pitcher of water near the swimming pond- very thoughtful! Comfortable surroundings- shade pavilion on this hot afternoon and amazing views! Looking forward to our next visit! Sheryl N.

55Our puppy Bella had a great time running around on the land, playing with the balls there, and waddling in the pond. Towels and poop bags were provided. It was also comfortable for us humans to sit under the covered areas and have some water (that Alison provided) and snacks (we brought these) while we watched.Anita Z.

55This place is exactly as-advertised. Plenty of comfy shade for humans, the pond is clean and just the right depth for dogs to paddle around and large enough for them to really play. Moreover, property has many textures of substrate, shrubs, and trees to sniff with plenty of space for exploration.
I have a pup who can be obsessive with moving water and the host even accommodated us by turning off the fountain for our visit so she still enjoy the pond. The host was kind, approachable, and easy to communicate with.
Will be coming back!K t.

55Alison’s Sniffspot is amazing and Alison is great! My girls had so much fun. They did a little exploring and LOTS of sniffing. Poppy even waded into the pond, which was surprising and fun to watch. Bella wasn’t so impressed with the pond, but she’s a ball girl! We all had a good time in a lovely, safe environment. We will be back!Claudette B.

FAQ about our Glen Ellen 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 Glen Ellen?
There are 21 dog fields in the Glen Ellen area. The most popular dog field is A&A's Private Dog Park In Petaluma. 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 Glen Ellen area range from $10.0 and $10.0. The least expensive dog field is A&A's Private Dog Park In Petaluma. The most expensive dog field is A&A's Private Dog Park In Petaluma. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
