55This place is so wonderful I almost don’t want to tell you about it in case the secret gets out. Everything your dog (and you!) could want - large space, well fenced, plenty of shade and sniffs, etc. We will be back!Kristin C.

55100% worth the trip! Everything you could want and need. The agility equipment was a big perk and is set up in a great location with lots of space. Beyond that is lots of land for dogs to explore and play. Absolutely will be back! Meredith J.

55This place is amazing. Fence is perfectly secure to ensure the pups are safe but the space feels open & plenty of areas/trees/places to explore. It’s also fully stocked with dog toys, water bowls & poop bags. Super clean & well kept. Worth the drive out of the city! Felicia L.

55I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this amazing space! It was so peaceful and we enjoyed every minute of our time there. Melissa was so kind and accommodating, making sure to have all of the necessary items. The drive up was a little confusing, but you just follow the dirt path after the bicycle on the mailbox all the way until you reach her property at the very end. Maps will take you there. I have T-Mobile and had a couple of bars. I highly recommend checking this place out, you’ll have a blast! Aubrey H.

55Beautiful large property for our six-dog-pack to hang out. Much cooler temps than Denver. The dogs loved the agility equipment, the provided water and wading pool, and their monster walk through the woods. Bathroom and wifi on site were an added plus. There was also a picnic table and lots of seating in the shade throughout the property. The pack will be back!Emily M.

55I cannot express my gratitude enough for sharing your space with us. Bronx had such an amazing time and it was really amazing to see her running around after being sick for the past 5 months. Her son Hero also enjoyed himself a lot. The kiddie pool was a perfect addition. Thanks. See you soon. Rosie M.

55Wow! My dogs and I had a blast! Worth the drive! They enjoyed frolicking in the forested area and building their confidence with some of the agility equipment. Melissa’s instructions to the house were spot-on and the Sniffspot is well-marked upon arrival. Amy R.

55I have a 65lb and a 100lb dog and the wire fence was tall and sturdy, to where I didn’t worry they could jump it. You can tell how much care is put into this sniff spot - it was incredible. My dogs had so, so much fun running around, and I appreciated the opportunity to work with them on whistle recall on a big, wooded, and hilly lot where they could get out of sight. The agility course is an incredible bonus. Audrey C.

FAQ about our Black Hawk 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.
