55This space was good for our reactive dogs. We have six dogs and so it was super convenient to be able to pull right up to the door. The area was big enough for our tiny dogs to explore with no gaps in the fencing for them to escape. It was a bit hard to find so arrival instructions would be helpful. Bring your own water. Dog bags and garbage provided. Dogs had a great time!Jennifer L.

55Love the location, great sniff spot, tons of room to run. Very clean. Trash can to dispose of dog elimination was easy to find. Easy to get to location. Easy parking. Will come back. My only wish is that they left a dog bowl with water or some toys. Rebecca T.

55The yard was lovely! My dogs were able to run around and get all their energy out. My only thing was I got a little lost on my way here the apple gps sent me in circles but if you use google maps it’ll direct you better. This place was great! Gaby L.

55This is honestly by far the best Sniffspot. I really love how the yard is not attached to the house and how there is no nearby noise at all so my REACTIVE dog can play care free. Perfect Sniffspot for my reactive dog and my little chihuahua. If you forget your poop bags, don’t worry because there are plenty. Highly recommend this Sniffspot. Took advantage of the seats in the Sniffspot :) Very clean and owner of Sniffspot thoroughly answered my questions and was very kind | Recommend to not put address on the Apple Maps because it will send you somewhere completely different.Becky O.

55This is a great spot! Tall, very private fence, lots of open space, and poop bags & trash can available for guests. Yard is not attached to the house, which adds another level of privacy for easily distracted or reactive dogs. The yard is next to a semi busy road. My dog tends to get nervous even from the sound of traffic/buses/trucks, which happened a few times during our visit, but with so much space I could easily distract her from the traffic with running, toys, and sniffing along the opposite fence line.

55The yard is huge and the host provided toys and chairs. My dog loved it and the host was so sweet, very communicative and welcoming. Definitely coming back to enjoy this yard again soon!Emily C.

55This is a wonderful Sniffspot! My dog was so happy running around and we appreciated the chuck-it and tennis balls in the spot! Thanks so much for sharing your space. Small heads up, if it’s been raining it may be a bit muddy so be ready with a towel for the car :)Alison F.

55We had the best time! The high privacy fence made it so my pup could enjoy the yard and not what’s going on outside the fence. Can’t wait to go back!Jennifer H.

55Convenient entrance right on Falls Road with ample parking, pull string to enter what looks like newly fenced area. The area is big enough for full run of big dogs and fencing is quite solid. Clean area not fully grass. Not surprisingly a bit muddy after rain day and host was nice enough to message as such. Will visit again for sure (when a little dryer).Stuart K.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience, and we loved it! Rick greeted us with a map of the property, and had plenty of supplies to make our visit comfortable (e.g., toys, treats, bug spray, towels). We then went off on our own to explore the property’s beautiful trails. The main attraction was the pond, which our Golden Retriever, Indy, loved swimming in. There were shady spots to relax after lots of swimming and some hiking. We highly recommend this Sniffspot!Cristina R.

551st time visiting & everything was perfect - We were met by Rick, who is super nice. He provided a property map, toys, towels, bug spray, & treats. He walked the trails with us & talked about the property. The trails are simply beautiful & very well maintained. Some areas are steep - so definitely wear sturdy footwear. The pups had a grand time running the trails & swimming. Swimming in the pond, I believe, was the best part for Chester. He was in doggy heaven. It was a joy watching them have so much fun!
Will definitely be back. Karin I.

FAQ about our Arlington 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.
