55Lovely property! We somehow missed the relevant signage from the direction we came from (I swear I was looking for it!) and didn't quite know where to park, but otherwise it was great and we completely wore out our very hyperactive rescue!Lauren L.

55Debra’s farm was beautiful with two open fields to walk the edges of. Easy to access and wonderfully enjoyable. We will definitely be returning! So glad she’s opened her property for others to enjoy.Jen M.

55The property is large and quiet. We asked Debra if we could use the fenced area by the house before we walked. There was fresh water available for my dogs, nice touch and a place to throw away our poop bags. Super cool old barns for my dogs to sniff around in. There is no fence in the alfalfa fields and woods so keep that in mind if your dogs don’t have a good recall. There are a couple of kitties, but they completely kept to themselves. My dogs were exhausted! Stacey M.

55We had a great time! Beautiful, well-maintained property. Still working on recall with my dog, so we spent the first half of our visit in the fenced area (plenty big to run around in) and then let him wander around on his long lead in the unfenced area for the rest of the time. So much for him to sniff and explore, there’s so many different types of enrichment at this spot! Emily E.

55Aleks yard was very spacious, plenty of seating options and some misfit toys left behind in case you forget your own!! There were many places for the pups to weave in and out during chase. We would definitely come back again!Karleigh M.

55This place was awesome! Great big area to run around in and the partial trails and pond were great, an added plus to the already super huge nice space. I would say in the partial trails if you're dog likes chasing after small critters just be careful they might get lost in the bushes but it's all fenced so it wouldn't be a huge deal! Merril was great at communicating and responding, answered all my questions and made sure my dog was well equipped with anything he might need like water and trash for poop. Excellent sniff spot I would definitely recommend and I'll be coming back here for sure. Ariana B.

55We had a great time! The trail in the back is great and I felt comfortable letting Stitch roam around in the bushes around, knowing that the fence was secure around the property. Just wear long pants! Besides the trails, there’s a large open space for dogs to run and a water feature that would be great for a dog that loves to swim! Stitch isn’t a swimmer but he did enjoy wading around and watching the frogs jump into the water. There’s also a nice, small deck above the water that is a great place to relax while your dog explores (and with trees overhead that provided cover from the quick rain shower that passes through while we were there. As mentioned earlier, wear long pants and bring bug spray! The bugs weren’t terrible though, just some pesky mosquitoes, and I didn’t notice any ticks on myself or my dog, which is a nice change after some other places we’ve been. Emily E.

55Great spot! My dog loved running through the trails, playing fetch in the yard, and exploring the pond. It’s the first time he has been able to be off-leash in over a year and it is great to have a place so close by that has everything he could want and so much space to explore!Ana B.

55Fantastic, my dog and her friends had so much! The location is great, good fencing with lots to do. We took the dogs around the trail and they ran up and down. Then we played fetch for 45 mins and they never grow bored with the space. The hosts nicely left water and balls conveniently located. The private entrance and trash can nearby are also pluses. Would highly recommend!Cassie A.

55I’d love to give this spot 0 stars so that I can deter people and keep it to myself! This is such a great spot with lots of open room for dogs to run. The water level in the pond is pretty low right now so it’s muddy, but we left with some very muddy, very tired, very happy pups! If you want to keep your pups clean, it’s easy to avoid the pond and there is still a lot of space to run and play! Rose A.

FAQ about our Ann Arbor 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 Ann Arbor?
There are 60 dog fields in the Ann Arbor area. The most popular dog field is . 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 Ann Arbor area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is 3/4 Acre Grassy Dog Run. The most expensive dog field is 3/4 Acre Grassy Dog Run. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
