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.

55This is a great spot! There is plenty of open space for pups to run around in the field, then jump into the lovely pond to cool off. The shaded gazebo is perfect for sunny days. Looking forward to coming back soon!Amanda M.

55Love this sniffspot! My highly reactive dog finds such calm and peace here. Other dogs can be heard in the distance and occasionally a horse can be seen! But my dog has enough space here to pay them no attention and not have a care in the world. Thank you, Alison, for making your space available!Sara S.

55The place was great! Alison greeted us when we arrived and had water and poop bags ready for our dog, she even offered us a towel if needed. There was plenty of space for our dog to play fetch, and she loved the water feature! Would definitely recommend. Robyn M.

55This was a great rural sniffspot! Our 3 mini dachshunds loved it, two sniffed all over and the third enjoyed chasing his ball and playing in the pond. Perfect water feature combined with lots of open space to run. There were seating areas and bags available if you forgot yours. Allison was super helpful and we will definitely come back this summer. Thank you!Stephanie Y.

55Alison’s place is is just fantastic. I am so grateful to have found a spot that brings my dogs such joy. It’s like Disneyland for them…their happiest place on earth. And Alison is wonderful. She always has towels ready at the end of their swim and I enjoy talking with her while the dogs have a blast. It’s really like our home away from home. I drive over an hour to get here and it’s worth every minute.Dani B.

55We just had another visit to Allison’s and it was great! Our dogs know when we get close and get so excited.
She had lots of toys out for the dogs (sorry again about the spiky blue one!) and the fountain was going in the pond. It felt so peaceful for the humans, and the pups started running right away. Our dogs love it here, and one of them is even slowly becoming more comfortable with the water after visiting. We’ve found this is the perfect spot to brush up on training too, which is a huge bonus. There are no real distractions, but some scents and sounds to practice recall.
Our only bummer is that we can’t make it there as much as we want to, because it’s a great spot! We highly highly recommend booking here. Ashley B.

FAQ about our Lower Lake 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.
