55This was a great space and very secure with the fencing. My boy was a bit obsessed with the deck and probably would have invited himself inside, but he also enjoyed lots of running and all the interesting places to sniff. Bonnie B.

55Linda’s yard was so lovely! She gave us a great lay of the land and then my dog had an amazing time chasing a soccer ball around. We’d love to come back!Jessie F.

55This was a big space away from the beaten path and there was a lot of yard for Flower to run around in. The area was quiet and we only saw one neighbor with his dog a couple of houses down, and the people in the back of the space went in and out of their garage a couple of times, but it was a non-issue. There is a water feature, and my dog dropped her ball in it literally the one time I had my back turned to her to pick up poo! It was easy enough to fish out with my Chuck-it - just something to be aware of. Fencing was secure all the way around. Flower enjoyed all of the sniffs!Amy P.

55This spot is fantastic. A beautiful, huge, clean yard with a pond they can play in and tetherball.
We didn’t see or hear any other people or animals. No trains or big trucks, No noise that that triggered my very reactive dog. It was the perfect spot.Cynthia S.

55Great spot! My dogs had a blast running around and sniffing all the bushes and greenery! The deck was perfect for me as I’m on crutches and there were chairs available. We will definitely make another visit soon.Lizzy C.

55We had a great visit with our German shepherd foster dog that went to a great home last fall! He & his dad are moving to San Antonio for work soon, so this was an opportunity to see how much he had grown since he was a puppy! 3 out of 4 dogs visited the pond! Very clean area for the dogs to “sniff”! Diane R.

55It was our first visit today. Very clean and has enough space to run and play for 3 large dogs. 2 out of 3 dogs loved into her pond which is fantastic. One of my dogs had reacted across the street neighbor's dog little bit, when the dog barked, but Linda's dog toys helped her to calm. Thanks!! My dogs were sleeping when we were heading home ;)Akane M.

55Host is very nice! Spot is big enough to get in some great zoomies, but not so big that you lose sight of them. Host let us know about the elk also using the spot and that is correct. Unfortunately, our dogs spent quite a bit of time searching out elk droppings to snack on. But they had fun splashing in the pond. Bring towels if you have a water dog. Overall, definitely worth it!

55This yard was so GREAT! Linda was really friendly and helpful and because she often had elk in her yard in the evenings, the sniffs were extra great. Kole ran and sniffed to his heart’s content.Carol D.

55This was our first time using Sniffspot. We both were very skeptical, but it turned out being a wonderful experience. I walked the property and there was no way our dogs could escape. It was very secure. The dogs had so much fun sniffing, running and just being dogs. The pond was a nice bonus for them since we can’t let them off leash to play in public ponds/lakes.
Linda is a wonderful and welcoming hostess. We will definitely be back! Corinne T.

FAQ about our Black Diamond 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.
