55What a brilliant experience! As an owner of a reactive dog, it has been years since we have experienced off-leash freedom, safety, and joy simultaneously.
A suggestion to future users is to bring water to top up the bowl provided. We did and I was so thankful - my pooch played hear heart out and drained the bowl! Brenna C.

55Absolutely perfect. Plenty of open space plus a bit of forest. Easy to find and easy to get to. There was water in the dish and the place was very clean. Will be back within the week.Jo W.

55Our dogs loved it! They were so happy to run around in a big open field and our minds were at ease knowing we had it all to ourselves. The dogs from next door did bark at us a bit but there was enough distance that our dogs didn’t even pay them any attention. We will definitely be back :) Hannah K.

55It is a great spot for my nervous dog to explore and become more confident in new environments. The space is just far enough away from any stimulus to be a great training spot. Looking forward to more visits solo and with big sister, Kiwi. Thank you! Alanna H.

55Another great visit … it’s a nice spot for our reactive dog to just sniff and decompress. Nice little wooded area with some big rocks that we can practice jumping up on! Sally S.

55Easy to access and park. The place is actually a good size. Lots of room to play frisbee or just let my dogs sniff. The little wood area is very small, but the more the better.
The field was clean. My dogs had fun and we all went home tired!
Will book again. Thanks!

55My dogs had a great time running around for an hour by themselves. I felt very safe and secure, knowing that we had the space to ourselves. Everything else as provided for and directions were very clear. Angela W.

55We got to practice some relaxing in the presence of an another dog nearby (adjacent field but lots of space between the two fences)!we still had a good visit and the rain provided some really great wet grass sniffing for our dog. Sally S.

55My two boys had a great time here! The kennel next door definitely adds some distraction and my one boy is quite nervous so we just stayed closer to the other side of the field. I will definitely be coming back with my more confident boy to work on recall and obedience around distractions though. It's pretty great to have somewhere safe to work on that kind of stuff :) it did look like the area behind the trees is just barbed wire fencing. Wasn't a problem for us because my two are pretty respectful of barriers in general and there is chain link behind it I'm just not sure if it's all tied in to the cattle wire fence. Erin M.

55So far this has been our favorite sniffspot in the area. It's a nice big fenced area perfect to play fetch. Chairs on the field and a bin for the dog poop are provided. Our dog is reactive and once the dogs in the kennel next to the field started barking she was a bit distracted, but we took it as a training opportunity for her. We'll be back for sure!Jonas P.

55We had the best time! This was our first Sniffspot experience and I loved every minute! The space is perfect with the treed area in the back for exploring and hiding the ball for my dog to find. We brought our own water & bowl, but there was also a bowl provided. We found the space pretty quiet with some background noise from the kennel, but it wasn’t loud and the dogs are quite a distance away, my dog didn’t notice or care.
Thanks Megan for the great spot!!Valerie A.

55My dog and his friend had the best time! The fencing was very secure for my escape artist Australian shepherd cross. So nice to let the pups roam and play without worry. So much space, lots of great stuff to sniff including forested area. Will definitely be back, thank you!! Rachel A.

FAQ about our Saanichton 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.
How can I find dog fields in Saanichton?
There are 20 dog fields in the Saanichton area. The most popular dog field is Wind Ridge Farm Field. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
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.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Saanichton area range from $12.0 and $12.0. The least expensive dog field is Wind Ridge Farm Field. The most expensive dog field is Wind Ridge Farm Field. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
