55Such a lovely place to visit! Our dog does not do well with other dogs so it is hard to find a place where he can run and enjoy himself. He loved the many smells lots of areas to visit. Hosts are super accommodating and friendly. Wear long pants and make sure your pupper has proper tick meds… ours came home with several. Very normal in the low country but def need to be cautious. Thank you! We will def be back again. Janis M.

55Absolutely 100% recommend!! The space was awesome. My dog and I will totally be back. My hound really enjoyed all the sniffing and running. Super tidy, friendly hosts, and a perfect distance from my home. I will definitely be back.
Some tips for your visit:
1-if your dog doesn’t have perfect recall at least get a decent length longline so they can really enjoy and explore the trails. My dog has great recall but I still felt way more comfortable with a longline
2- Make sure your pup is on flea and tick prevention. I also highly recommend Wondercide!! A natural spray for you dog and yourself. It’ll keep ticks from even biting.
3- wear long pants and shoes you don’t mind trekking through taller grass with. You want to really have the full experience with your dog! Timm B.

55Our dog had one of the best days of her LIFE! We hit the walking trails and it was GORGEOUS! Then hit the swimming pond and just had the best time ever! Such a gorgeous property! Easy to find, easy directions, nice and secluded. I’m not sure if me or my dog had a better time, as I loved sitting on nature watching my dog have the time of her life swimming! Cannot wait to go back soon!Sarah M.

55This is an awesome spot! The water was clear and felt totally safe for my Australian Shepherd, who loves to swim! Everything is clearly marked. We mostly swam and stayed on the mowed paths. We’ll be back for sure!Grace R.

55My dogs had the best time here! It’s hard to find a place where they can run full out and swim because they don’t get along with other dogs. It was also great for their humans who had a lovely walk with great birdwatching. Very thoughtful hosts who provide not only a welcome sign for the dogs but also a map of the place. We’ll definitely be back. Hilary K.

55We had an amazing time! Super nice people. Saw some cool birds and hiked around. Loved the tall grass for field retrievals with our working Labrador! She had so much fun. Will definitely be returning.Julia M.

55Awesome spot for my reactive dog to just enjoy himself! Host even greeted us and showed us how to get in and there was a welcome sign ready for us when we got there 🥹 there was an unfortunate brush fire a couple days beforehand but the host let us know in advance and there was still plenty to explore that was unaffected! Will definitely book again. Jessica T.

55Turbo had a blast running around and the welcome sign and map were very helpful as we explored! Didn’t realize the animals would be so close to the parking location, but it wasn’t a problem- just kept Turbo on his leash until we got further away. They weren’t really visible so if your pup doesn’t have a prey drive you’re probably fine, but he enjoys chasing chickens and could hear them so we made sure to keep our distance! Even though was a brush fire recently, they communicated it and there was still lots to explore! We’ll definitely be back!Maddy S.

55My pup just had her first birthday yesterday, so we came here to celebrate. Since she's reactive, it's hard to take her to most places. However, this spot was perfect. The host came to meet us and explained the spot to us, including the recent brush fire, and didn't mind that my dog was slightly reacting in our car. The welcome sign was so cute and stated happy birthday to my pup. Even though it had rained hard this week and the fact they had had the fire, there was plenty of unaffected space for Merlin to run around off leash and be herself. She enjoyed rolling in mud puddles, venturing somewhat into the ponds available, and chasing the ball and Frisbee. We definitely plan on coming back when it's warmer and less wet. Thank you so much for having us!Whisper F.

55What a truly spectacular piece of property to have the opportunity to explore with your dog. We had a great time and will definitely return….so much space to romp, sniff, and splash! The host was friendly, communicative, and available to answer questions and give directions if needed. Well worth the drive out to the island. Julianne T.

55My pups had a wonderful time at the farm! A beautiful drive, easy directions, and our host had chairs, water and toys for us to play with!
We had the most fun walking around the property and checking out the pond. It was really nice walking along the mowed “trail” for trotting along(corgis are short)!
We settled down in the shade, drank some water, and packed up to leave as my pups were TIRED from all of the exploring we did.
Can’t thank our host enough for the map and the ease of getting into the property. Can’t wait to see how the farm takes shape! Kirsten S.

55Great spot to bring your pups to explore. One of our dogs is great off leash the other is a pup so we are working on recall. The property was great because we could work on all that with all the smells. Plenty of room to run and explore. We will be back. Kimberly M.

FAQ about our Johns Island 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 Johns Island?
There are 11 dog fields in the Johns Island area. The most popular dog field is Small working farm on Johns Island. 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 Johns Island area range from $15.0 and $15.0. The least expensive dog field is Small working farm on Johns Island. The most expensive dog field is Small working farm on Johns Island. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
