55Easy to find and access. Walked the fence line to make sure there were no gaps and the fencing was secure. My girl had a blast playing catch and walking with me off-leash. Thanks for hosting, we’ll definitely be back!Erin A.

55We stopped on our way home from a road trip up north. Close to the highway so a great pit stop. Grounds were clean and well taken care of. Will go back on future road trips. Mo S.

55Had fun with my three dogs. Two of the dogs are newer to us, and I don't think they've ever experienced any off leash free time outside of our yard. They had a great time.
I did end up finding two "bonus" piles of poo out in the field that I picked up. It didn't detract from the experience for me or my dogs, but something for others to be aware of.Cari K.

55We’ve come here more than once with our dogs and let me tell you, it’s a god sent. It’s perfect for two young pups who just need to run and get some energy out without the distraction or pushiness of other dogs. 10/10 always and forever!Amanda K.

55Love this place! Nice open space. You can see your dogs at all times. Very well maintained. There was no seating, so you may want to bring a chair with you. We will definitely go back! Dawn R.

55Loved this area! We saw a couple other dogs/people but it was good for my 3 yo Belgian Malinois to see and learn from! The owners were great, definitely stayed out of our way so we could enjoy and relax. Thank you from both Moose (the dog) and me!Becky P.

55We love this spot! It is always quiet while we are there and my dog has plenty of space to run with a well secured fence. There may be enough of a gap for a smaller dog to get through, but it’s a great secure space for medium and larger dogs who are still working on their recall. Corissa K.

55Had a wonderful visit! Rachael was helpful and quick with information. Our visit was around dusk and I was happy to find that the location was set up with lights around the perimeter. There is a field behind the fence that happened to have equipment operating at the same time. My dog typically gets upset by large vehicles/farm machinery. She must have felt really safe here though because instead of her normal whining and pacing she just watched it causally while resting between sprints.Victoria C.

55Great place and our pups had a blast. They were tired for two days after.
A couple things to note - the gate between the training facility and the yard is about 3 feet tall. The entrance gate also has a gap for the escape artists. My husband had to stand guard the whole time to make sure our one dog didn’t successfully execute his escape. Neha A.

55The gate is a little too big for tiny dogs, they could easily slide through, our dewey had no problems, he’s a little bit bigger. i would 100% recommend to all dog owners!Brianne F.

FAQ about our Howell 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.
