55Wonderful space! Lots of room for my American Bulldog to run around - she had a blast running, romping, and sniffing! The spot was very secure and the host was welcoming. It’s a great place if you’re looking to get your pup out of the city and see some beautiful farmland (and maybe a horse or two)! Please note the entire spot is on a slope. Julia N.

55AMAZING!!!!
We brought our boxer (doesn’t play well with others) and Yorkie for an evening visit. At first we thought we were in the wrong spot because of the long driveway but then realized we were on a beautiful huge farm. We followed the signs and had no issue finding the park. The fencing and gates are new and perfect. There is a sheltered seating area which was completely stocked with water, dog treats, dog toys and poop bags. Although our boxer is old and not as mobile as she once was she enjoyed walking around and getting a bunch of sniffs. The Yorkie of course thought he owned the place.
The highlight of the evening was the view of the sunset. I’d pay just to come watch that.
We will be back. Frank C.

55A wonderful and clean location. Rebecca provided everything I could need to ensure Beckham enjoyed himself. He had a great time and I took in all the views of the landscape. Truly a great spot and we will definitely be back! Gauri C.

55My dogs had a blast! Very nice sniffspot, plenty to sniff and fun to see all the horses. Very sweet touch with treats and toys hanging up on the wall. There is a really long driveway, but follow the signs and you’ll be fine. We’re definitely coming back soon! Elizabeth B.

55Twix had such a wonderful time! The field is HUGE and has a nice big hill. Twix could run around, and I was able to work on off-leash training skills that I couldn’t do in a busy dog park or at home. The field is prepared with toys, treats, water and even comfy chairs in the shade for us humans. It is also very well fenced in, so I wasn’t worried about her getting away at all.
Rebecca was very friendly and responsive, and the view from the field is absolutely gorgeous. There wasn’t another building in sight and the only other animals near by were horses and sheep enjoying the weather a safe distance away secured in separate fields (nice addition to the scenery without being distracting for Twix!). I’ll definitely be going back. Ela R.

55Madra Training Center is a peaceful, beautiful place to bring your dog! Lucy is a somewhat reactive beagle mix. Everywhere we go she has to be on a leash. What a treat to be able to let her run off leash and sniff as she pleases! The entryway to the field is spacious and secure. The amenities in the field’s shed are plentiful and thoughtful for both human (hand sanitizer, sunscreen, and bug spray) and hound (treat, toys, poop bags, and water with a bowl. The huge field is on a slope with plenty of room for exploring and running. Lucy gives it five paws up!Susan G.

55This is a beautiful location. It’s very peaceful. We found water there as well as bug spray (a good thing this time of year), some toys, etc. it’s a very nice setup. The fencing is great—I did not have to worry at all about my dog getting out. The field has a bit of an incline, so running up and down the hill was extra tiring for my dog. We had a great time!Sarah S.

55Addy had a wonderful visit to Madra Training Field! She was able to get in a lot of good sniffs around the whole huge area without us being worried about her getting out and running off. The area is extremely secure ... no worries about her escaping (which she can do quickly elsewhere). The entranceway has a nice double gating so no concerns about them getting out by accident. There were several nice toys kept available in the covered area where 'the humans' can relax if not throwing toys for the dogs. There are also yummy treats and water available with a bowl to use.
We were a little concerned that we wouldn't be able to catch her when it was time to go, but by the time we were ready, she was so tired we were able to get her back on leash without a problem. Beautiful setting! Will be back again!Melissa B.

55The field is spacious, clean, quiet, and has a great view! My dogs had a blast, and I enjoyed the peaceful setting. The host is kind, provides lots of amenities (dog toys, water, comfy seating, bug spray & sun screen, towels to clean the pups’ feet) and responds quickly to messages. This is definitely one of our favorite spots, and I look forward to our next visit! Genna K.

55Wonderful place. Very clean, easy to find where to park, and a kind owner who really loves dogs. My girl Jade loved being here and using the dock. There isn't a scooper to retrieve items from the lake, so if you are worried about your dog leaving items in the lake, you may want to bring something to grab them. Overall, it was a fun experience for my dog, and I am so happy she loved it. Rebecca H.

55We’ve been coming here for over a year. The dogs know this place really well but always go directly to their favorite area, the pond. And now I love the shaded sitting area. It’s such a nice place for humans to relax, and the dogs to have fun. Thanks! Lorena H.

55My 16 month old Yellow Lab loved this place! The owner was very nice. Cooper swam in the pond and lived zooming around the fields. It was so nice being able to let him off leash and not worry about other dogs or people. The little things like extra dog toys, a bowl and fresh water, and bug spray for the humans was so thoughtful. We’ll be back! Amy S.

FAQ about our Aldie 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.
