55We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to visit here! There is so much space with a good mix of open fields and woods with water to explore. Would definitely recommend it. The host even provided treats for us and our dog, which was such a kind touch!Maria D.

55Thank you so much for generously sharing your beautiful property with us! We enjoyed a walk through the fields, and the trails were so great!! My dog played in the creek, sniffed and ran… we both had a blast. It was very easy to find and I appreciated the map and note- it was very sweet! Ellen B.

55Another awesome visit to this property! Starting to get green out there! I had my 4 dogs with me and they adventured all over the place and it was finally nice enough to really get to enjoy the creek!
This is my favorite sniff spot, in large part because of the FABULOUS host! A few weeks ago I mentioned some large holes on the path in a spot my dogs love to race in the tall grass but I always panic that they will hit a hole (I normally stand over one but there were 2 holes). On my visit today both holes were filled! I'm so glad I don't need to worry about them racing in that spot!tena p.

55Our boys (and us) really enjoyed this spot!! Directions were spot on. Host is extremely gracious. The grounds are beautiful and very safe. We have 2 reactavie dogs and it was such a relief to be able to let them run and not constantly worry about other dogs. They had so much fun. They especially enjoyed the creek area. I wish we would of spent more time down there walking the woods instead of the fields only because the dogs enjoy the wood more. I didn't see the stream marked on the map until we we almost done but it was still a great time. We drive over an hour to get there and so glad we did!! Thank you for opening your property for dogs and their people to enjoy. We definitely will be back! Our boys thank you as well especially for the huge milk bones at the end of our walk!Keri N.

55A truly beautiful spot! My water obsessed dog loved the swimming hole and creek, and it was beautiful hiking! The wildflowers were plentiful. Margaret was communicative and gracious when I got a flat tire and couldn’t leave on time. My many thanks to her son Andrew for his help with putting my donut on. We will definitely be back soon!Mikaela S.

55Another fabulous trip! The hosts recently mowed out an additional path around the property to walk (though we don't always stick to the path). We didn't get to walk it today, but I'm so excited to walk the path next time. But these' regular improvements are why this is my favorite local-ish sniffspot <3 tena p.

55We love to visit Margaret’s spot when we are in the area visiting friends; we sometimes even drive 90 minutes for the pleasure. It’s totally worth it. We have so enjoyed seeing the new trails and exploring new parts of the property. Gabrielle J.

55Margaret the host went above and beyond! Left treats and water for my dogs. The property is beautiful. Marked and cleared trails, serene woodlands and the creek was so beautiful. I’ll be back every weekend! Lydia F.

55As always a fabulous trip to this sniff spot! The grass outside the mowed path is tall, so we didn't explore as much off the path as we normally would but we had a fabulous time. The dogs frolicked happily and enjoyed running through the tall grass. Today the blue trail in the woods that goes down to the creek is pretty over grown, and it's hard to see that turn off if you've never taken it before (we got down about 3/4s of the way but it rained last night and it was a little slick and with it being overgrown, the footing was already a little bit unknown, so we walked back up after clearing a few downed branches). We enjoyed our lovely adventure as always, can't wait to come back again. Just a heads up, there's ton of poison ivy at the edges of the mowed path in some sections. I didn't see any popping up on the path itself, but i was sure to wipe down my dogs and my self before getting in my car just in case. tena p.

55A spectacular place - like a park that is just yours for a while. I'd recommend getting it for more than one hour. There's so much to explore & we didn't have time to see even half of it. We'll certainly be back! Judy T.

55This property is epic! My dogs and I had an amazing late morning hike thru the woods and the field. So much more left to explore for another day. I will reserve for 2 hours, at least, next time. There is the occasional well placed chair throughout the property to stop for a rest and we really appreciated thoughtful cooler with water and treats that Margaret left for us. This was the best day I’ve had in a long time—Good for the mind and body! Thank you for opening your property up for this wonderful experience!! We will be back!Allison D.

55Amazing spot! Will definitely be bringing Sarge and Kane back here to frolick in tbe creek and wildflower fields. Lots of marked trails to explore and so much room for my normally reactive boys to just enjoy being dogs without the fear of running into other doggos. Paul K.

55This is a beautiful space. My pup loved splashing in the stream and sniffing in the woods. It was also a real treat to watch her bounding through the ironweed and black eyed susans in the field. We will definitely be back.Megan F.

55This property is beautiful! There is a variety of wooded trails and trails through the fields. So many wildflowers, butterflies and bumblebees to watch. The creek was great to cool down in and rinse muddy paws. I enjoyed it as much as the pups did!Amy N.

FAQ about our Stahlstown 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.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Stahlstown area range from $13.0 and $13.0. The least expensive dog field is Fields and woods and a stream: Oh my!. The most expensive dog field is Fields and woods and a stream: Oh my!. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
