55We had the absolute best time today at Sweetwater Ct. The hosts were absolute dreams. Everything was provided for us, treats, toys, bowls, hand sanitizer, pooper scooper, wipes, shaded area with bench, you name it! It was the perfect place to take the dog we had out for the Dogs Day Out program at the Guilford County Animal Shelter. We are looking forward to coming back!! kristin B.

55I visit many SniffSpot’s with my pup Zeus. After our first visit here I decided to buy my first membership with SniffSpot and absolutely LOVE IT! Everything I need for a fun and relaxing time with Zeus is already here and set up (toys, special treats for Zeus, water, splash pad, bug spray, blanket, etc).
Zeus gets so excited when we pull up he starts dancing in the back seat. And I get to sit on the blanket and read or run around with Zeus.
Cathy is so helpful and accommodating and goes above and beyond for Zeus and I. We always look forward to our visits ❤️Janice H.

55This spot was beyond perfect for a day out for a dog! I brought a dog from the guilford county animal shelter to get some exercise and this was the perfect place! So many thoughtful touches, water additions, treats and toys! Beautiful, perfectly kept landscape. So much room to run around. Shade and seating! I loved it and will be back for sure!! Melanie C.

55Another amazing visit for me and Zeus. Zeus got his special treat and even saw a deer today 🦌❤️. But don’t worry if you have a reactive pup. The deer are far away from the fenced in area if they do make an appearance. My pup barley noticed it Janice H.

55What an incredible spot! The yard is very secure and very clean. Directions are very clear. The water features added so much fun and I highly recommend use of them if your dog loves water! There are plenty of toys to choose from, as well as treats, towels, a scooper, first aid, etc., there’s even a cute guestbook! You can hear dogs and other animals in the distance but it was not distracting or an issue for us at all. I am very satisfied with how much obvious thought and care goes into this spot. Baby Bacon and I had a very great and relaxing time and we will be back again!! Alexis P.

55I brought my personal dog here opposed to a shelter dog this time. Sadie had a BLAST! I really like that there's something for every dog. Toy box for the toy fanatic (toys are sanitized between visits....LOVE), 2 pools for the water dogs, lots of space for the runners, and shady areas for the ones who just like to chill outside. It's a very peaceful area. Sarah W.

55We, meaning Toby(our puppy) and children Absolutely Enjoyed Our Day at the Sniffspot. Running throughout the Large enclosed/Fenced backyard that also has 3 different water attractions for puppies as well as children. They ALL had a Blast. This location feels like time away yet local enough to go grab some lunch and have a picnic while watching the puppies enjoy their time of exercise and play time. If you haven't went we suggest you book your time slot immediately because booking do fill up fast. You won't regret the experience. We have enjoyed every time we have attended. Thank you for the kindness and generosity the host expresses each and every time. Truly like a home away from home. Miranda S.

FAQ about our Archdale 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.
