55This was our first experience with Sniffspot and we absolutely loved it. Tony gave great instructions for when we got there and left a huge water bowl out for my boy. He had a blast exploring in the trees and running through the fields. He even decided to take a dip in the pond (a few times). Tony chatted with us while Duke ran around exploring and he even met his first horse! I highly recommend coming here! Couldn’t have asked for a better first experience ☺️Ashley S.

55My dog absolutely loved it! So much open space for him to run around and explore all fenced in so I felt safe with him being off leash. He enjoyed seeing the goats and horse as he is part cattle dog. Shelby B.

55We had a great time with our dogs at Born to Run Dog Park! The fencing was great and the hosts provided us with a bowl of water which we very much appreciated. Behind a fence, but near by, there was a very friendly horse and goats (who were more weary of us) that our dogs got to see. For us this was good because we didn't know how our dogs would respond, but everyone did great! Our dogs are now having a good snooze after a really fun morning.Cassie P.

55The boys had a blast! My guy loved all the room to run full speed! The daughter’s Golden made a beeline to the pond the moment he caught sight. My daughter enjoy walking and catching up while dogs explored. One small warning… keep an eye out in the area where you park if your dogs like to roll in smelly stuff as there was some cow piles. The Golden started to roll before we figured out what his plan was! Both dogs had to have baths on getting home, but it was worth it! Can’t wait to come back! Ginger J.

55Such a beautiful space! It’s absolutely worth the drive from St. Louis. My city pups loved getting to experience the country life. Everything is as the listing says- comfortably fenced in, great pond for pups to dip in, and lots of room to run and explore :)Jess H.

55We had so much fun running through the entire property. We were looking for a big area to let our boy off leash and let him feel free while hiking, so this was the perfect spot. Tony was extremely helpful with his instructions to make our trip run smoothly. Highly recommend!Jocelyn B.

55I loved the place. Tony was super accommodating and the space was huge. My Doberman enjoyed running around to his heart’s content. It was also a great opportunity to work on long-distance recall! I would not be likely to bring my chihuahuas just because birds of prey were abundant, but my large breed loved it.Cat S.

55Tony’s property was everything he promised and more! What a joy and privilege it was to have my golden retriever be able to run, sniff, and explore so freely while also being secure/safe. The pond, the pastures, and the small trails behind the house afforded Bilbo so many opportunities to embrace his true nature. The exercise I got along the way climbing the hills and adding steps to my daily count circling the property were just added bonuses! We will absolutely be back to visit; we’re so thankful to have found Tony’s place!Jessica B.

FAQ about our Litchfield 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.
