55Today Kai and I visited the newly reopened Black Pond Farms and had a lovely 2 hour visit. We played fetch in the off leash area; walked the trails and enjoyed climbing on obstacles; and cooled off in the pond at the end. This is a great spot with a bit of everything to offer. Bugs aren't out yet but will be soon so bring some bug spray (the hosts have provided some). We return to this spot over and over as there is always something new to see and explore. June M.

55We've been here a number of times recently and it's been wonderful! The hosts are so thoughtful and have provided everything you might need during your visit....fresh water, poop bags & trash can, toys, towels, a hose....it's just amazing. The private trails are so peaceful and beautiful and, if you decide to check out the DNR trails, they go as far as you can imagine. "Club Zoomies" is fantastic...a really great fenced area which is where we end up spending most of our time. Cooper, who doesn't care for balls much at all, is addicted the the 2 tennis balls and runs over to the toy rack to get them the moment we get close. We just love it here. Thank you guys so much for creating such a safe, fun spot! ♥Susan D.

55Such a beautiful property. Lots of places for the hounds to sniff and a fantastic place for a nice long walk. The hosts take great care of the property and even had a fire going for us with s’mores at the end of our visit! (C’mon, how nice is that?!) The dogs had a blast and crashed out almost the entire drive home. Highly recommended and can’t wait to visit again.Michael S.

55Great place, areas are well marked and grounds are carefully maintained. There was water for dogs, towels, doggie bags and trash container. Chairs for hoomans too! We chose this because of ponds.. there is only one they let you use, it was small but big enough to train our hunting dogs on. Would be nice if we could have used the bigger pond - it was in the area marked private. Doreen O.

55This is a beautiful, wooded area. A long trail leads to a small meadow, the zoom area. Dogs really appreciated the hose and bucket on the fence. Thank you. My vocal girl had issues with the horses behind the fence. She showed them, and me, by rolling in several horse poop piles...she needed a bath anyway. But be prepared. The dogs loved chasing each other around all the side trails. Black Pond is a wonderful adventure for both two and four pawed creatures.Debbie B.

55This was my first time back since the updates and it was a great experience. Clearly marked trail and "Club Zoomies" was really fun. A few blackberry vines so make sure your footwear is appropriate. Tina P.

55Lovely, quiet spot with several trails and ponds. Both the humans and the dog very much enjoyed it!
A note on fencing - the fencing is secure enough to prevent the dogs from interacting with the horses, but the side facing the DNR land is not fenced (although it is marked well so you don't go off trail!).Candice C.

55Very fun Sniffspot! The land is expansive and there are a lot of trails on the DNR land that is adjacent to the property. The "Zoomie Zone" is nicely laid out and a good place to take a break and sit for a bit. Our dogs loved it and we plan to visit again for sure. Maybe our favorite Sniffspot yet!Erika P.

55This place is amazing! So peaceful. We had a great time walking the trails and playing with some toys in the open space zoomie area! My dog really enjoyed playing in the ponds as well, along with the climbing wall! I think that was her favorite :)
Signage was great and very clear throughout the whole area. Highly recommend!Amanda P.

55A lovely spot for hiking and swimming privately. Our adolescent Labrador puppy has trouble on normal walks in the city because of all the people and dogs he is learning to be okay with. Here, he was able to have so much fun and become more comfortable away from home. Debbie I.

55Amazing amazing spot! We have visited Black Pond Farm in the past but, after the recent updates, I am completely blown away. We had a blast! As you drive up to the property, you'll see parking on the left. There you will find some supplies in a plastic tub, poop bags, a trash can and water for your pup. ♥ Across the driveway toward the pond is the trail to "Club Zoomies". The hike is so enjoyable...lovely, groomed trail with some smaller more primitive trails off to the side here and there. Very fun to wander through and there are signs everywhere, it would be nearly impossible to get lost. The DNR public land is off to the right and clearly marked should you choose to venture that way. We never felt the need to leave the private property...we scheduled an hour and a half and I felt like we barely had enough time to explore. At the end of the nice relaxing hike you arrive to "Club Zoomies" which is a nice combination of open space and woods. There is a table with chairs, toys (which Cooper found right away) and even a working hose at the far end! These guys really thought of everything. It is obvious the folks at Black Pond Farm have put a lot of love into this spot and we are so grateful. ♥ Cooper was absolutely ecstatic to be here and me too...we just had so much fun and can't wait for our next visit!

55This Sniffspot is fantastic. The owner has clearly spent a lot of time thinking about how to welcome visitors. From the clear signage in the driveway and parking area, to the well-marked trails, to the chairs and tables set up for humans, to the hose and water dish way out in the Zoomies pasture, everything shows an attention to detail. Piper was very happy alternating between sniffing along wooded trails and playing frisbee and soccer in the clearing. She also saw her first horse (through a fence). We booked for two hours, which gave us enough time to play, eat lunch, and play some more. We'll be back!Kim M.

FAQ about our Reardan 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.
