55This is a lovely space with well-constructed fencing and great visibility. There are toys and even hand sanitizer. It's clean, attractive, and welcoming. We'll be back soon! Sarah B.

55Great place for our dogs to let loose! We saw a couple cyclists and a few people, but everything was in passing so it was totally fine for us! It was easy to distract our dogs to another area of the yard. Our dogs had an excellent time!Rachel S.

55great spot for the pups ! was freshly mowed and flat enough so the dogs aren’t obstructed from view. Luke was plenty understanding when they got loose at the very beginning too :) will definitely be back ! Molly E.

55Awesome space! Plenty of room for pups to roam, sniff and explore!
My only concern is the gap under one side of the gate, our 55lb hound is quite opportunistic & was able to put her entire head and shoulders under it to try to escape, if you have a smaller pup just watch that. ☺️
We will be back for sure!Emmale L.

55This was a perfect space for me and daughter to hang while our collective 3 dogs played. The yard space is large enough that the two legged guests walked around the yard many times and got our own exercise. I highly recommend this spot!!!Judy D.

55We had a great time at Luke’s! Nice signs that clearly mark the spot and where to park. The yard itself is well taken care of and we really appreciated the amenities (chairs, water bowls, toys, cleanup items). I know we’ll be back soon and often!Brandi S.

55My pups and I love this spot. It's so peaceful and a nice big space to run and sniff around with a beautiful view. The parking is clearly marked and the fencing is very secure. The owners very responsive and the fencing is tall and and there's a basket of toys for the dogs to play with. I highly recommend this sniff spot! Also while driving out on the dirt road we saw about 15 to 20 deer and the field right by the road. It was a very magical experience.Jennifer B.

FAQ about our South Hero 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 South Hero?
There are 9 dog fields in the South Hero area. The most popular dog field is Island Oasis Private Dog Park. 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 South Hero area range from $8.0 and $8.0. The least expensive dog field is Island Oasis Private Dog Park. The most expensive dog field is Island Oasis Private Dog Park. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
