55My 2 dogs had a good time sniffing around. You do have to walk up a hill to get to the main area of the spot which is exactly as described. We did not encounter any muddy spots. I would return. LEEANN Y.

55First visit to this spot, we loved it! Large, lots to explore, a stream, and nice flat area for some fetch- clear signage, fresh water, and garbage can all a plus as well! Things to note (none of which were issues for us)- livestock is quite close to the entrance, being the first time my reactive dog seeing cows, goats, etc, we had to take it slowly, but GREAT training opportunity! Once inside, the trail in the middle is quite steep, again not a problem for us, but something to note. Fencing very secure, one section is just wide barbed wire, but still secure. Stream was super fun and accessible, bring a towel! We will definitely be back :))Melissa V.

55This is a fantastic sniff spot - my dog had a blast crashing around in the woods and pasture, and through the creek.  The farm animals were visible at the entrance and through the fencing along the creek – my dog was definitely interested in that, but fortunately behaved herself. The fencing is at advertised. Lovely host and wonderful spot - and we will definitely be back!Sarah K.

55This place was a wonderful find for my guy, who lives to roam and sniff! It is a pretty steep climb, if that's an issue for you. Great space to fetch (not my guys fav), and a nice firepit. There is at least one chair in the bin, water and trash can. It clearly was a cow pasture, as noted. I brought my grands to explore with him, and we all had a splendid time. It is fenced, mostly barbed wire, but he's a Houdini, and would easily escape without monitoring. We had a great time, and appreciate the ability to roam!Tracy J.

55I absolutely loved this spot and so did my lab!! Normally I take both dogs with me to sniffspots but when I first go to a spot, I only take my lab so I can check it out first to make sure it’s fully fenced. She stays within site of me and has great recall but my LSGD gets fixated and will wander/run if he can. For the most part the fencing was great. There were stretches with a little bit bigger gaps and my lab showed me she could fit under even with it being barbed wire. There was also a small section to the right of the red gate when first entering that had no fence. Sadly I won’t be able to bring Odin here but can at least bring my lab on weekends to play! She had so much fun. A lot to sniff and area to play fetch! Aisling W.

55The listing is very straightforward with the layout and Gwen sent me a message beforehand which helped! I had no problem finding the sniffspot and everything matched the description. We spent the majority of the time in the open field area and then down by the creek. Both of my dogs could fit through the barbed wire fence so we wandered away from there. :) Overall, a great first visit and the dogs loved it! Jessi C.

55My dogs had a great time exploring this new spot. They really enjoyed the chance to run in the open areas and explore sniffs in the woodsy areas. The Spot owner was very communicative and helpful.
I wasn't concerned about the fencing since my dogs come reliably when I call them, but my 60lb girl did wander to the other side of the barbed wire fence, and under the fencing next to the red gate (she came back as soon as I called her). People with dogs that like to make a break for it might want to be cautious.Victoria M.

55A wonderful spot! So many different types of terrain to explore between a creek, grassy hills, and woodsy areas. Great for my pup to be exposed to other domestic animals as well. Host is very communicative and did a fantastic job of posting plenty of signs for directions. Site is easy to get to. Parking is close to entrance of the Sniffspot. There is a large hill you need to walk, if you or your pup have accessibility issues. Good sturdy shoes are highly recommended. Host has thought of everything between water, toys, poop bags, and such. We look forward to coming again and again. Sadaf H.

55This was a great Sniffspot! The upper area had open, grassy areas and the lower was more of a forest vibe with small ponds and wetlands. There is a fairly steep but short path to get to the open areas so just be aware if you have mobility issues. Our pup loved running around, splashing in the water and we had a great time!Deborah W.

55Lovely visit! A lot of space for zoomies. As a hobby farm, I wasn't surprised to find cow patties in the field, but the area around the firepit was clean. Gwen provides water for the pups, which was appreciated.
My older pup did awkwardly stare into the neighbor's window, so keep an eye on pups wandering over the hill by the firepit. Moose is an inside dog and thought he could charm them to let him in.
I did hear a few loud noises like target shooting (not surprising in that area of the county), so be aware if that affects your pups. Adrianne S.

55Very secure and spacious! Clean and well maintained. It’s great for testing off leash ability in a safe manner. There were baby garter snakes in the woods and lots of mushrooms all over, so make sure your pup can ‘leave it’! Just an hour of sniffing and zooming and our Silken, Iroh, was toast!! We’ll be back!Savvy T.

55This is my favorite spot! The woods is really cool! My little dog gets lots of exercise and I never worry about him getting out. The fence is solid and complete with no gaps. We come every week from May-ish to October. Kelly S.

55This place rocks. The front place is perfect for ball time and the “woods” portion is perfect for lots of sniffing and exploring. I indeed didn’t see my dogs for much of the time back there and relied on them coming to my call. We will come back here, again and again. Courtney H.

55My Australian shepherd Zoey and I had an amazing first visit! The area is spacious and secure, we didn’t hear or see anyone/anything else while we were there. They provide toys, water bowls, and there’s some poop bags scattered along the fence. There’s a little shed where you can sit inside which is nice. Overall 10/10 experience, will definitely be coming back! Mara G.

55A beautiful space. Fully fenced and well maintained. A covered structure with chairs available for the people. Water available for the pups. Great for dogs who love to chase balls. Next time, I think I will purchase the "Woods" add-on so our pup can get some extra snifs and investigating in.Ann C.

FAQ about our Benton City 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.
