55Great spot for dogs who love to run and play fetch. Our dog Maverick loves nothing more so this spot was ideal for him, we were able to tire him out which is no small task with Mav. Karen had fresh water and was there to answer any questions, our dog isn’t water inclined but she also had a little pool to help beat the heat. There are two different parts which offered lots of new smells and exploring as well. Would recommend this spot to anyone and everyone. Dominique M.

55Easy to park out front of the house. Fenced in pastures with trees and sitting areas. Lots of space for the dogs to run and enjoy being off leash! We had a wonderful time and my dog was content and tired when we left Barbara J.

55Our 2 yo pointer had the best time!! Place was fully fenced. There was a main yard + 2 huge fields, maybe a 3rd field closed off, but 2 was plenty!
Goose was unsure of the horses, even though she was trying to get through the gate into their area lol. Little pool was great for cooling off. Will definitely come again! Great place to take a break from off leash training and let a dog be a dog :) Jackie L.

55Awesome space for my Dobie to get PLENTY of exercise! Karen, the host, was super accommodating, had great communication during the booking, and made you feel super comfortable to be in her space! My girl loved the plastic swimming pool that was available as well as all the toys left out! Nice shady space as well out in the pasture if you need a break from the sun, where there are chairs and a picnic table. I cannot recommend this place enough! Will definitely be going back!!Christen R.

55My 3 girls had so much fun. We recently moved from SC and the girls have been pent up in our temporary house with a small yard and they needed to run and play. Karen’s was perfect!! They ran and played frisbee and explored. We will definitely be back! Julie H.

55My 2 hounds absolutely loved being able to roam and stretch their legs all over the 7 acres. The yard and field are well kept and all points of the fence were secure. They even took a dip in the doggy pool! Plenty of space for fetch and racing each other, and shaded areas for the humans to sit. We also took our baby and she got to meet a horse for the 1st time!!

55Karen is very friendly and welcoming. My dog loved running in the pastures on her property and the large acreage was perfect for recall training. The fence is well secured and she filled up a kiddie pool for my dog to cool off in. Highly recommend for any high energy dogs!Sarah T.

55Absolutely amazing! By far the best Sniffspot I have ever been to! And I’ve been to at least 100 over the last year and a half within three hours of where I live in Bel Air, Maryland, so I’m an expert!  Everything is completely fenced, but they still have a lot of natural shrubbery and trees and that’s where my dogs love to sniff! Trust me, this is by far the best Sniffspot I’ve ever been to considering what my dogs love the size and everything that this has to offer! And I’ve been to the mall!Priscilla D.

55My little guy had such a blast at Karen’s. There is so much room to run and so many places and scents to explore. He was a little too interested in horse poo lol so we explored the pastures but mostly stayed in the backyard, which is big enough by itself. Fencing is secure; no worries about him getting out. Thanks so much for sharing your spot, Karen! My pup is currently passed out. :)Laura B.

FAQ about our Downingtown 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.
