55Dale was very nice! The property is awesome and the dogs had a blast cooling off in the pond.
We had our pointer with us and he generously let us have her check out some of his quail.
I’d come back again! Klaudia C.

55Amazing spot to dip your paws in the sand! The pond was perfect for our boys to have lots of zoomies. We walked the trail & our smaller dog did get some thorn twigs wrapped around his skinny legs towards the back near the loop so just keep that in mind. No one was injured, we just had to pick ‘em off. We’ll definitely be back! Destiny S.

55This is a wonderful spot with a great view. The dogs really enjoyed the pond! The only thing I would note is the walking path is not as long as expected, but it was still great. If your dog loves water this is definitely the spot for you!Rose A.

55What a gorgeous spot! The trails are nicely mowed with lots of wildlife. We even saw about 5 deer! The crown jewel is definitely the pond. Definitely worth the extra $5. The water is clean and so green/blue it looks almost tropical. We will definitely be back!!Brittany P.

55Can’t say enough good things about this spot! This was our first time using sniffspot and Dale was so kind and helpful with walking us through it!
The area was expansive, clean, and well-maintained. Dale greeted us and directed us to the path that took us to the pond and beyond.
Our dogs are blissfully exhausted, haha. We will definitely be coming back! Grace M.

55Dale’s property is beautiful! My dog is scared of people and Dale was very respectful of that and allowed us to have a contactless visit. There was a trail as well as a lot to sniff around his yard. It was very quiet and peaceful! Thank you!Maria W.

FAQ about our Paw Paw 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.
