Amazing! Exactly as described. This was my first time using sniffspot. The area is very well kept and clean! It rained, but my dog was still able to wander around under the shaded places. There was water. There was plenty of room for my dog to simply wander and explore. I was even able to take her a bath at the end & dry her. Complete privacy which is needed for Daisy to feel safe in an area. Completely worth the time. Thank you for having us! Looking forward to the next time πβΊοΈ

My two Samoyeds very much enjoyed their time! There was so much for them to sniff, so they spent a good amount of time just sniffing around. They were a tad too big for some of the obstacles, but one was loving the ramp. There were toys, water, and clean up stations available.
We will definitely come back!

This was a great, safe play space for our three dogs. There was plenty of space and the dogs enjoyed playing with (and hiding under!) the agility toys.

What a wonderful spot for my dog to swim! The pool was clean, totally private and it was quiet. At one point, a red shouldered hawk landed on the fence. Lovely time and we will definitely rebook.

We had a great time! We booked the pool to let our dogs experience swimming for the first time. It tired them out quickly which left the rest of the time to explore the yards at their leisure. Main yard had plenty of shade to relax under. Heather was very communicative and answered all the questions we had. Looking forward to another visit!

Wonderful spot! Our pups had a great time sniffing and trying the different obstacles provided. Everything was just as described and clean with water and trash accessible. The size was good for our small and medium sized dogs with turf on half and wood chips in the other half. The agility helped build our pups' confidence and provided mental stimulation which in turn tired them out quickly. Thank you for sharing your space!

AMAZING and so worth it! Our dogs had a blast. The pool was so much fun for them and there is plenty of shade too in the main area. Will definitely come back again! Thank you so much sharing your wonderful space!

The area is very clean and private. The yard was the perfect size for my little guy. My 2 larger pups could use more space to run; however, they were still able to wrestle and chase each other a little. They all kept plenty busy sniffing every inch of the yard. We will definitely visit again!

Luna really enjoyed all the different agility equipment! 30 minutes already had her super tired. The yard was super clean and comfortable and very shady!

Easy to find, clear directions. Away from the road so no drama getting to the entrance. Fencing is very secure and high, no sight of people or dogs.
Spot is perfectly clean, mostly astroturf with some wood chips in the back. Lots of agility equipment.
What made it for us, we rented the pool, which is the perfect size and easy in and out. Astroturf around the pool so doggie kept clean. Even a fridge stocked with drinks!
The pool is really the greatest part. My (bigger) dog would need a little more space to run, but she kept busy the whole time with lots of sniffing.
Thank you so much for sharing your space!

Loved the agility equipment, the space was very quiet and so many dog smells for my pup to explore. The space is half turf and half mulch with a nice tree and extra covers around for shade. Easy access to water too. Thank you!

Lots of agility activities. My young pups were a bit co fused by them but managed to figure a couple out. Not field like some have described, but ample room to chase down balls and sniff away. 10/10 recommend.

A lot of space for pups to run. Some small hills, but mostly flat. Clean area and host is very attentive. He greeted us at the gate and introduced us to the property.
You can see neighboring dogs and they do come to the fence, but they leave after a few seconds.
Overall a great experience for our pups.

Such an incredible space! A lovely mix of sun and shade, super secure and so well maintained. We spent the hour with a mix of play, training drills and letting our pup relax in the grass. Highly recommend!

First time using sniff spot and couldnβt have had a better experience. Ian is a great host and his property has a ton of space for the pups to run around and explore. We will definitely be booking again in the future.
What other types of private dog parks are available?
Dog water parks
Many hosts have added water features like pools and/or are nearby lakes or rivers.
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.
