55This place was wonderfully raw and rugged and perfect for a young, athletic and curious dog like mine. Tons of room and interesting spaces to explore. I'm pretty big on personal responsibility - read the ad, read the reviews, check out the photos, familiarize yourself with the grounds before letting your dog off and you won't be disappointed. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and Antoni was around... kind, hospitable and dog savvy, however if you have shy or aggressive dogs I would make sure to message him in advance to clarify your needs and expectations. The property is huge, I trusted that it was fully fenced but only made sure that the front gate was closed, near the house since I entered down the hill by the barn. I have a long haired dog and in certain areas she emerged covered in burs and grass seeds but somehow they all managed to fall off by the end of our hour so that wasn't a hassle but still noteworthy depending on your dogs coat. I would certainly visit again and am looking forward to see how this new Sniffspot comes together :)Calone N.

55I was just passing through on my way home and found this gem. The dogs absolutely loved exploring the expansive space. The owner was friendly. If ever we pass by again, I will be sure to make it a stop for the dogs to stretch their legs.Katie C.

55My dogs had the best time here. Plenty of room to just wander around the whole time. It is hilly terrain, and a bit rugged, but that's how we prefer it. The property lines are easy to follow with several different spaces to explore. Finding the location was super easy, gates are easy to maneuver, water spigot and buckets for waste were available. A couple of my dogs are nervous, the host reached out to confirm and kept the space clear of people/pets for our visit. We will be back! Jessica O.

55Beautiful, fully fenced spot. Perfect for my dog/people shy boy! I was able to do some shed-hunt training with one and work on recall with the other. We all enjoy the open space and tall field grass! Monica J.

55Excellent yard for dogs to roam -- my 2 pups loved exploring -- it's nice it's not just one parcel of land but they can run all around --
+ there is a space in the middle to throw the ball -- I would highly recommend this new spot !Jennifer F.

We will definitely be back! The host is also super friendly and open to feedback for areas of improvement. Such a great visit!Amanda W.

55Colton had the absolute time of his life. I have never seen him have zoomies like this. I never go on hikes without him being on a leash. This property felt like an off-leash hike (within the fence) and he was so happy to explore the terrain. Many many thanks! We will be back. In fact, we booked another visit for tomorrow!Jennifer M.

55What an amazing spot!
Initially finding the place was a little tricky. We accidentally drove to the neighbors driveway up the hill when our navigation ended! Keep going just a little bit on the main road until you see the barn and you can pull in there. 😅
Once we were in the spot, we were so amazed! Such a large property with lots of smells and great areas to explore. The dogs loved running all around the property. The fencing was very secure all around the property.
The only thing to be careful of is to check your dogs at the end for any burrs/burr-like plants and ticks.
Definitely would love to visit again! Erin F.

55We enjoyed an hour of play and exercise at this lovely farm in Petaluma. The host is both welcoming and gracious. Our 110 lb German Shepherd enjoyed hiking, exploring and sniffing around this entire property. We discovered an old barn to sniff, a field to play ball, several out structures & short trails around the property. Even our little 10 lb Maltese joined us on the hike (a rarity for a dog who generally prefers the couch to exercise)! Best of all, we had a whole hour of off-leash time for both dogs--a rare treat!
Thank you to our kind host, Antoni who provided us with a space to bond as a family—pets and all! And, our 15 year old son, Finn, was phone-free, running with his dog off-leash for the first time ever! (Priceless!!!) Thank you to Antoni and all other hosts for spaces like these which allow our dogs to run and play without fear or anxiety that public parks often bring. These private spaces have been an important part of our rehabilitation process from attacks we have experienced in public spaces. We have learned that bringing our large dog to a public park often leads to confrontations from other dogs and has made our pup anxious and fearful.
We thought that we would never be able to see our dogs run off leash again --until we found Sniffspot!! Each time we visit these private spaces, I see the positive changes in our dogs—more confident, less anxious and eager to explore new spaces. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

55Beautiful, huge, hilly, quiet, very rural property surrounded by similar property on all sides. Excellent fencing (wood posts & crossbars with rigid wire horse; I didn’t measure but I’d estimate 5 ft tall). Multiple areas for exploring, acres of wide open spaces for running. The place was very clean and the footing was comfortable for paws. The host was very hospitable, and he even reached out after our visit to make sure it went well and ask for any feedback.
My Great Pyrenees had an absolute blast, and I enjoyed the scenery and tranquility. Didn’t see or hear a single other dog or human, and also saw no foxtails. Be sure to check your dog (and yourself) for ticks after visiting, though. I found two tiny ones walking on my dog’s head.
Absolutely wonderful–we’ll be back very soon!

55Great property and tons of stuff for my dog to sniff, including all the long grasses and old hay in the barn. No other animals or people in sight! There is some occasional relatively fast moving car traffic for any dogs who are car reactive. Lots of conveniently located buckets to drop off poop bags and water for the dogs, plus lots of shady areas. Note for my fellow curly haired dog owners, I had to spend a bit of time picking out fox tails from my dog's feet so you may want to consider putting on booties.Hillary L.

55Such an amazing spot! I wish I had taken photos and video because my pup and her friend loved it so much, but I was so caught up just watching them enjoy themselves. This truly does feel like an off leash hike, with the protection of a fully fenced space. Even with a full hour of play and walking around, we were not able to visit the full property. Very much looking forward to coming back soon!Amanda M.

FAQ about our Bay Point 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.
