55Really unique and fun spot! Our dog ran straight into the pond and was so excited to have so much space to run and play. We also appreciated the covered seating area near the pond to get some shade when taking breaks. Tyler H.

55Alison’s space was perfect for our dogs! We wanted to tire our dogs out before the 4th of July fireworks started in the evening and this place did just that! There was plenty of room for all four of our dogs to run around the field, swim in the pond, and relax in the shade. We saw the neighboring yard’s horse from across the fence but the dogs didn’t pay it too much attention since there was so much space to do other activities! Some of the dogs in our pack can be nervous/reactive to other people and dogs, so opportunities to let them run and play worry-free is so appreciated! Thanks so much - we’ll be back for sure! Kary K.

55We had such a phenomenal time at Alison's private dog park, our dogs loved playing in the pond and playing in the field. They got all the sniffs and had the time of their lives. Alison is also incredibly kind and welcoming! It was an AMAZING first experience with SniffSpot and I could not recommend this place more. Jodie L.

55Such a great spot! My oldest dog was recommended to swim more for post leg surgery recovery so this spot is perfect! The other two pups love it just as much. We will definitely be regulars. Ashleigh D.

55Alison’s Place was our first experience with a Sniff Spot property. Just what we needed to play with our pup outside our small in-town property. Lots of room to run, chase balls and relax. The pond was also great. Alison was great at communicating and made us feel very welcome. Will be back. Marc G.

55A perfect place for dogs to visit on a hot day! There's a big artificial pond with sparkling clear water and a sandy bottom, a sandy beach, and a shady gazebo. Totally cool in every way!Bret M.

55We showed up a bit early due to coming out of town and were welcomed with open arms. We were a little timid at first when entering but settled right in. The host left us towles put and it was so awesome because we had forgotten ours. A perfect place to have a quick sandwich while your dog plays. Super fun, shallow parts of the pond and a bit deeper so they can actually swim If the dogs want. Big grass yard. So thankful for this place. Thank you for opening your home. My dog has elbow problems and dog parks are to ruff on him and unpredictable so thank you. Haley N.

55The dogs enjoyed having the room to really stretch out their legs and even tried out the swimming area. We'll definitely be back to try it out again and will plan to bring friends.Lorrie C.

FAQ about our Guerneville 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.
