55Fully fenced, a L spaced space. The fence was good for our dogs, all are jumpers but we were able to keep them occupied enough that it wasn’t an issue. Area was clean and all amenities were available. Would definitely use the space again. Michelle D.

55Loved our sunny visit. The fence is really secure. You can see horses and chickens but we have a reactive dog and while she noticed them, we didn’t have any problems with her barking at them. Great practice for reactive dogs. You’re along a busy road, just fyi for sound sensitive dogs. Kailyn L.

55This was our puppy June’s first Sniffspot and she loved it! The play area was very clean and totally fenced in, with a few toys and clean water to drink.
There are chickens in a coop next to the fenced yard, but weren’t a big distraction for us. It is also a horse boarding facility and there were a couple horses turned out while we were there, but they were a couple paddocks over and June didn’t react to them at all.
The location is right off I-5 at the Aurora/Donald exit and very convenient. The property is adjacent to a large country road, but the edge of the property is lined with large trees so I didn’t find the noise a problem - but pups who are bothered by traffic might have a tough time.
We can’t wait to come back! Zoe R.

55Very secure fence. Small space, but large enough for running. Water, garbage can, dog treats, and other nice amenities. Chickens visible very close. Dog audible from inside the house.Karl O.

55A lovely, secure, accessible spot with clear signage and thoughtful additions (like treats and a dry towel). Plenty of space to run around! Saw the chickens but no sign or sound of dogs, which we appreciated. Great spot!Shoshana B.

55What a great first Sniffspot experience! Very easy to get into, clear signs pointing you in right direction, clean lot with lots of trees for shade, thoughtful things like treats, plenty of water, poop bags and trash, etc. Chickens on the side for curious dogs, and you could hear other dogs and humans from a distance. But nothing close enough to trigger any reactivity from my dogs which I very much appreciated!!!Jen C.

55This was a great space! As others have said you can see a lot more space than you have access to but the space you can access is great. It was really good for us as we try and expose our new rescue pup to new things. We are happy to say he had no reaction at all to the chickens and horses. We also got to see him not react at all to a few emergency vehicles driving by with sirens blaring. This is on a very busy road just off the freeway exit. There are a lot of sticker bushes/blackberries along the fences and under some of the large for trees so be careful where you throw your balls and frisbees. Also, there are some pretty deep little ditches and undulating ground that your dog may discover while on a full sprint so a walk about the property first may help your pup learn where those are and avoid a sprain or fall. You’ll likely want to bring clean water and a bowl as the water we discovered didn’t look great for dogs and we were asked not to dump it. All in all, a great experience and a good value. We had to drive quite a bit to get there but totally worth it. Thank you! Lisa W.

55Loki was so excited to see chickens for the first time. It was so cute! He had a lot of fun! The people that thought it would be bigger are crazy. It's plenty big enough. The horses even came out to say "Hi" right at the end. Great SniffSpot!Corrine S.

55This is a great spot! There was enough room for my two large greyhounds to stretch their legs. They enjoyed running around the evergreen trees and playing hide and seek. There was a large bucket of water, extra poop bags, jar of treats and a few toys. Best of all, a pop up that provided shade! I really appreciated the signage showing where to park and where to enter. Great place! Tamara D.

55Awesome little yard at the front of the property! This was my first sniffspot, and the signs hanging at the entry gate, parking spot, and yard gate were super helpful and friendly, even if the rain had muddied them up a little. Zero dog poo in the area which is a huge step up from most places. The fence was incredibly secure, even for my small dog, though there was a tiny area near the car spaces that a very tiny determined dog may be able to squeeze under. There were chickens in a coop nearby, but they’re only near a small section of the run and if your dog doesn’t have a high prey drive they’re hardly noticeable. Very cute and welcoming spot, 10/10!

55The spot was perfect for our doggy play date. Plenty of room for zoomies and chasing, plus trees and areas to sniff and explore. Water was available and fresh, poop bags available, and the ground wasn't too muddy. Our dogs looked at the chickens a couple times but mostly were at the other end of the yard and didn't pay them any mind. Could hear the resident dogs barking but our dogs didn't really mind that either. I would definitely come here again. Leah S.

55Clean, very secure, lovely setting. Water, toys, waste bags available. Chairs near shady trees for dog owners to relax. Easy access right off of I-5. My dog, who is very reactive, isn't bothered by the chickens near the entrance. He barely notices them, or if he does he likes to watch them. Karen B.

55Very nice open area with room to run. Appreciate that chairs were provided as well as water for the pups and a few toys. Only negative was that the chuck-its provided were useless since all of the tennis balls had been chewed through and punctured, but that was a minor issue. Timothy M.

FAQ about our Aurora 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.
