55I brought my 1.5 year old golden and he absolutely loved it. Between playing fetch, swimming and watching the fish, he’s totally pooped. Fully fenced, super clean, and Monica is nice enough to leave out some toys for the pups. We’ll definitely be back:)Becca L.

55Hamilton loved his time here! Monica was very kind and helpful when we arrived. The backyard oasis is huge (and a true oasis)! Nice shady spots, lots of room to explore and sniff, there were water bowls out, bags, and toys. Ham did not get into the pond, but it was still lovely to walk around and watch the fish. Thank you Monica for your hospitality and for sharing your backyard with us. We can't wait to come back again :) Madison M.

55Love love love this spot!! Host is very accommodating and the yard is absolutely gorgeous. My dog swam for the first time in the pond (she had an absolute blast) and had plenty of space to run around in the yard. We will definitely be back!Emma H.

55I took my 3 rescue pits and my mom’s rescue pit mix and small dog to this spot and they absolutely LOVED it! There was so much room for them to run off their energy and they loved playing in the pond. I have been to several sniff spots that were falsely advertised once I got there, not clean and some of the host were very unfriendly…. However, this spot was VERY clean, the host was very friendly and nice. This spot is by far our FAVORITE spot and we will definitely be coming back! Jackie P.

55We absolutely love this spot!! The fencing is secure, there’s plenty of space to run and explore! My dog loves to watch the chickens. The pond is also very well kept and great that it’s deep enough for them to swim in. The disc golf is a nice touch for us humans too! There are neighboring dogs but they were not a problem for our visits. This is our favorite place to go!Holly R.

55What a beautiful spot. Tons of room to run, it’s a very long yard with open spaces, a creek, a koi pond that the dogs can go in - truly everything and more I’d want in a place to take my dog to have fun and expel some energy. Maya loved dipping in the pond and running and jumping over the creek. Lots of places for pet parents to sit in different parts of the yard. Monica was lovely and greeted us when we got there. A neighbor dog was out for a few minutes while we were there and we could see neighbors - neither of which pose problems for us but if that’s a need for you, just know you may see the neighbors. Such a wonderful spot - Maya and I will be back! Sam G.

55A beautiful yard with lots of space for dogs to run. The fencing was pretty secure and sections are even double fenced with cattle wire and xpen fencing. My dog was very interested in the chicken but they mostly stayed in the shed when she walked up so it was easy to call her away.
We did briefly see the backyard neighbor's dog but we just crossed the creek to put some space between us and the dog didn't bark at us.
Everything is nicely labeled or has good signage which was very helpful. Connie F.

55Monica and family has put so much thought into their Sniffspot ♥️ Monica came out to greet us and was incredibly warm and inviting (and didn’t mind that my pup was being on the rowdy side..). The property is larger than I thought it would be - so much space to run. I was confident in the fencing around the chickens to keep my strong boy out. They have clean water for dogs to drink, lots of toys and Sniff spit necessities. Loved all the signage as well. Very well run. Katelyn S.

55Excellent spot to get your dog out and run. Lots of open space. Very clean and conveniently located. Fence is very secure. There is a dog in the house at the back of the lot that barks but the owner of that dog is attentive to their dog. Highly recommend this spot. mark k.

FAQ about our Columbus 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.
How can I find dog fields in Columbus?
There are 39 dog fields in the Columbus area. The most popular dog field is Bolte's Backyard Oasis. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
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 Columbus area range from $8.0 and $8.0. The least expensive dog field is Ballard Puptopia. The most expensive dog field is Ballard Puptopia. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
