55This was my first SniffSpot experience. We had 3 dogs ranging from 16 to 85lbs. The fence was secure in all areas and the grass was well maintained. Fresh water was available in multiple spots. My dogs loved it and we will definitely return!Sara H.

55My Aussie, Arlo, and I LOVED this spot. The spot is tucked away off the main road and is very private and quiet. There is tons of space and the grounds are very flat and well groomed. There were some big trees for shade and the agility setups were a super fun to interact with. Arlo says 10/10 spot for frisbee practice - we will definitely be back!Katelyn R.

55We had a great time at the farm! So much space for Mango to run, sniff, wander, and just enjoy. He loved laying in the grass and just watching the dragonflies flit around the grass.
A great balance of shade and sun. Two big water basins too!

55Large, flat, safe property. My dogs had a ton of fun. We were there at sunrise and it was cool, peaceful, and beautiful. Of course the morning dew made everything wet and extra sandy and dirty, but we expected that. Next time we would wear boots and jeans and bring bug spray - there were a million non-biting gnats. Better than mosquitoes, though. It was worth everything to see our dogs' joy. So much joy. Thank you! Heidi S.

55We came to this space this morning with our two dogs, and everyone had a great time. We loved the signs telling us how to enter off the main road because we would have totally passed it. The field to run was huge. Our dogs loved exploring/sniffing the perimeter, chasing each other from one end of the field to the other, looking for lizards in the tree, jumping on the water containers, interacting with the hurdles/agility, and more. I was worried we’d see the animals, but they were so far away it wasn’t even an issue. The grass was short, there were some small bugs that weren’t bad, no mosquitos, shade was good, and it was just so peaceful. (We saw a woodpecker and other birds, a cool snail, and a couple other cool things.) The only thing that might make this better would be a couple more chairs in the same spot. Overall, it was worth the hour drive for us!Jenna S.

55PERFECT spot for all pups! The host / owner is the sweetest as well! We will be coming back at least once a month. My girls had an absolute blast and loved being able to just roam the entire space together. Genuinely one of the best times I’ve had with them, especially not having to worry about anyone else!

55We ❤️ this spot.. come often it’s so beautiful, completely fenced shade trees, fresh running water troughs full of water so your pup can cool down in.. very private no distractions with neighbors. We’ve tried other spots and this is definitely our “go to “ for now on.
I also watch other dogs on Rover and bring them here for exercise and play in the tunnels. Sheryl A.

55Beautiful, quiet, and secluded. The property’s large with plenty of trees to provide shade. It has an obstacle coarse that my dogs didn’t give a hoot about but it was still so much fun trying to get them to interact. Water is provided in a trough and there’s lots of balls and doggy bags for the fur babies. 5/5, will definitely be back! Sam H.

55What a beautiful space for my big boy to run off leash. I love this location and I'm sure we'll be returning. It had great fencing all the way around as mine is an escape artist. It was clean, felt very safe and had some nice spots for us to sit down and relax while our boy ran around. Scott R.

FAQ about our Altamonte Springs 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 Altamonte Springs?
There are 42 dog fields in the Altamonte Springs area. The most popular dog field is Play Ball! Dog Club. 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 Altamonte Springs area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is Small Yard in West Seattle. The most expensive dog field is Small Yard in West Seattle. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
