55A fantastic sniffspot for active dogs, a huge secure area to run around and the stream running through is great for cooling down. I'd highly recommend.Gail T.

55Our second time visiting, such a great spot for our pup! We loved the bucket of toys that we could use to play with and great to have the spare 💩 bags at the entrance we could use if we ever were caught short! Thank you! Ellis G.

55We had a great time, kept my boy on a long lead, as his recall is horrific, we didn’t last the hour as he was absolutely shattered. Thank you, we will be back. Aimee U.

55Amazing place - so well thought out. For our two dog-reactive pups, it is such a welcome relief to have somewhere safe to let them off the lead. Thanks Shelley. Morgyn E.

55Update on the property. They have an extra gate now that just slides (looks like it would be electric but it's not powered at the moment) and you can park in the paddock on the gravel. It's a great place to run my dog reactive GSD. He doesn't care about the horses or pūkeko that are sometimes in sight (behind a double fence). Its especially nice this time of year when the brook has a little more water and the sun's not too hot.Michael K.

55Thank you so much! We had a lovely time. We didn’t hear or see any other dogs. We saw a couple of horses in the back property, but there was proper fencing between us and them. Thank you for the good instructions to get there. Eloise S.

55Great place, plenty of room for dogs run. As the host has stated clearly in the description, there's only one area that isn't entirely fenced, but you can avoid this easily, still lots of other area to use.
Thank you, host 😊Hana C.

55We’ve finally found a little gem. We have 3 reactive dogs who had the chance to run free. They absolutely loved it. We found the place easily and the dogs enjoyed exploring and smelling all the “news”. We even took our ball with to play and they had a blast, we will be back. Thank you. Robyn K.

55My 3 dogs had a blast! I’m definitely going to try come here weekly, loved that they were able to run freely. My 2 dog youngest love playing tag so that was heartwarming to see them running around the whole field & my oldest was just sniffing alongside the fences. We went whilst it was raining & wet & we prefer that as we know not many ppl will be out. Malama P.

55Our new favourite spot, we have tried parks etc but our boy just gets too nervous with other dogs. This sniff spot is perfect for him with some exposure to other animals (horses) and he can just run free to his hearts content. We loved this place so much we came back twice in a week!! Unfortunate that others don’t respect the space and hadn’t cleaned up their dogs poop so I picked it up, there are plenty of bags and a bin provided by the host so no excuses really. Host was very quick to respond when we got a bit lost getting there but pretty easy to find. Absolutely love this spot and we will definitely be back!!Jess M.

FAQ about our Auckland 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.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Auckland area range from $9.0 and $9.0. The least expensive dog field is North Ballard Backyard Available. The most expensive dog field is North Ballard Backyard Available. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
