55A beautiful, well maintained trail around the lake with lots to sniff! My dog enjoyed swimming in the lake and exploring the property, and the 1.5hrs I booked flew by. It was a very peaceful place, and incredibly nice not to have to worry about encountering other dogs. This was our first Sniffspot experience and I would highly recommend it. The hosts were very responsive to queries and super friendly when we went on arrival. The printed out map was great! Shelby P.

55Just gets better every time. So much fun to watch the changes as the season warms up. Rainy but very calm and peaceful last night. The hosts Jeannette and her husband have created a welcoming and well kept sanctuary. They work so hard to clear the brush and prickly bushes and make the path clear and compact. I highly recommend this Sniffspot. Oh and so far we’ve seen wild turkey, toads , turtles, fish and Swans , geese and ducks and now a couple deer. Angela F.

55I kept my two small dogs tethered together as such a large property. Owner warned me to check for tics. Did find several but that is to be expected in the woods. Both dogs slept on the way home. Will be back again for sure.Clara-Lynn B.

55Our dog had a great first time sniffing and running around at Jeannette’s Sniffspot! Scott gave us a warm welcome with a handy map and info and we enjoyed walking along the wide main trail as well as the smaller side trails. The only wildlife we saw were some small birds, a toad, and a couple Canada geese in the pond. Our dog isn’t a great swimmer so we didn’t expect him to jump into the pond, but he was interested in the geese and ended up wading in, splashing around, and having a grand old time! It is a pond naturally with mud, plants, and algae so if your dog is a swimmer, be prepared to give them a bath when you get home! Next time we will come prepared with maybe some jugs of water for a quick rinse and definitely some towels to dry him off before the drive home. Our dog left happy and tired and would love to visit again. Thanks Jeannette and Scott!YJ L.

55A very friendly welcome, and a dog paradise. Our two girls loved the swimming and running around the trails surrounding the pond. They got absolutely filthy on the way in, but swimming by the dock got them quite clean again and we managed to keep them out of the muddy shallows on the way back to the car. We will absolutely be back!Megan B.

55The host, Jeanette, is wonderful! She greets you, tells you a bit of info about the property, and gives you a map! The trail is wide and extremely well maintained. The lake is beautiful. We also enjoyed the large lawns. The cherry on top is that there is a hose down station set up! Would definitely recommend and we will be back! Stephanie H.

55Excellent private sniff spot! Our 6 month pup had an amazing time and even got to experience some off leash time. Hosts were fantastic, as it was our first time there, they explained the space and even provided a map. Was recommending to friends on the drive home and will certainly be back Lawrence D.

55Very friendly, beautiful area with lots of birds. The pond is muddy but the wash station is nice. Our dog ate a frog but didn't appear sick so not toxic. Bug spray is recommended in warm weather and your dog should have tick repellent/meds.Melissa A.

FAQ about our Bolton 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.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Bolton area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is Awesome gated Madison park lawn. The most expensive dog field is Awesome gated Madison park lawn. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
