55This spot was amazing! It was our first sniff spot and we were really excited. Our dogs don’t typically like getting wet but we had trouble getting them out of the pond! There was so much land for the dogs to romp around and dry off and Issabella responded quickly to my messages. Definitely plan on going back!Faith W.

55Had such a wonderful morning at this gorgeous place! Our pup loved to sniff and run everywhere and surprised me by being brave enough to go onto the little dock to look out over the water. He’s not quite brave enough to jump into the water just yet but it’s something we are working on! He loved being able to look at the geese swimming in the water and hearing the frogs croak. It was so hard to get him in the car when it was time to leave because he had so much fun and wanted to stay. Definitely recommend this place highly! It was so clean and peaceful to visit! Will be back for sure☺️ Thank you for having us!Ashley H.

55Host is super hospitable—she was nice, had fresh water out when we got there, and toys available for the dogs. The location has a giant lake (that my dogs thoroughly enjoyed) and plenty of land to run around with as well. We had so much fun and will definitely be back 😊Aisha S.

55The property was beautiful - lots to safely explore while being fully fenced and with very few spaces where your dog could be out of sight or get into trouble. The lake was incredible with a sandy beach to wade in and swim from. There were geese enjoying the other side of the pond and a few blue heron we spotted, but unless your dog is going to swim across the pond for them, they weren’t a concern. We enjoyed the shade of the tree on the comfortable patio furniture, tossing the abundance of toys, balls, and treats for the pups. Issabella was kind, communicative, and very welcoming, making sure we had bearings on where to toss our trash and refill water bowls. Our tired and happy pups are looking forward to another visit very soon! Kelli B.

55Tank loved exploring, running and swimming on this beautiful poperty. Totally worth the hour drive. Nice shady areas to relax and enjoy the scenery Isabella was quick with msgs and answering all my questions. She even asked me if I wanted to come early when someone had to change their reservation. Great property and host! Now I need to learn how to train Tank not to drink pond water when he goes in. He earned himself a bath when we got home but was too tired to fight it. Kristie P.

55Our boys had a blast and we're incredibly lucky that this fantastic spot is so close to us! Secure space with plenty of room to run and play on land with a large pond for the pups to test out their sea legs. Host was as wonderful as the space, and we are booking our next adventure at the property as we speak! Host was communicative and accommodating and provided lots of toys, water/bowls, and a waste can as well. Lauren M.

55We had a wonderful time here! There was a good mix of sun and shade, there were a couple of the chuckit kick fetch balls (which are Soup’s FAVORITE), and the beach access to the lake is great for dogs who are still working on their confidence around water! I’d highly recommend this spot and we’ll definitely be back.Hayley F.

55My pup and I loved this Sniffspot! It was the perfect size and had everything a city pup could ask for. The pond area was easily our favorite and spent the majority of the time playing in the water. There was also fresh drinking water for the dogs, poop bags, trash can, and some toys to enjoy! There was plenty of room to play a game of fetch and get all the zoomies out as well.
This Sniffspot gave us everything that is so hard to find in the city and we will definitely be back!Emily M.

55Issabella’s property was just as it looks, AMAZING!! our dogs Banks and Ovie had a blast romping around sniffing, running and swimming in the lake. It was incredibly clean with lots of seating options (shade too!) with large water bowls and a bucket of toys to enjoy. This was an incredible experience for us and if you’re coming from Philadelphia, a really nice chance of pace from the city. We will definitely be back! Sierra A.

55I wish I could leave more stars! This was so great!!! My dog honey is reactive so I normally can’t take her out anywhere. But she thrived today! The little lounge area by the water is so cute and the area is SO safe. Completely fenced in. I will definitely be a regular :) Anna B.

55Awesome property! Water and dock are so fun while still having a bunch of grass area for running and sniffing. The owner’s instructions on opening gate and getting fresh water were super clear. My dog is stranger reactive and the owner was so accommodating. I wish there was a sign by the gate with the house number or a sniff spot sign to verify the place when you drive up. Katie P.

FAQ about our Abington 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.
