55Perfect area for us. Fully fenced and plenty of shaded areas. Owner was very polite. Plenty of room for our hyper lab to run and run! Flat area perfect for her favorite game of fetch! Highly recommended if you plan on using the space with a chuck it and ball. We could hear neighbor dogs (maybe one) but was not obtrusive in any way. Far enough away that it did not bother our dog at all. Carl S.

55I visited Meridian Acres three days in a row, each day with a different dog from my family. Each day was a different experience. I give the listing a 5-star review based on: ease of access, size, cleanliness, dog experience, and human experience. I have already booked another three visits.
***For reactive dog owners: Day one included exposure to kids and dogs on both adjoining properties, and fireworks set off by the aforementioned kids. Day two again included exposure to the same kids and dogs on both adjoining properties - this time with fence fighting at the south property fence, and the owners of the other dog did nothing to intervene on their end even though they were outside. Day three included exposure to the kids again, and just the dogs on the north property fence line. So be prepared to train and/or counter-condition your dog(s) on any given visit.***Allison P.

55Rolo had a lot of fun! The owner was there when we arrived to fill up the paddling pool and closed the gate for us on their way out. There were children playing within earshot and two dogs on an adjoining property. They were behind a fence but could still be seen and heard. This was fine for my pup but something to be aware of if you have a reactive dog. Will definitely visit again 😊Ellen H.

55What an absolutely lovely place! So much to sniff. The owner was super sweet as well.
I did see dogs on both sides of the fence but neither barked at my dog. They don't seem to mind. Wasn't a problem for my dog at all.Lauren M.

55Our reactive dogs love this Spot. We go about once a month! It’s big enough for good zoomies, has shaded and sunny spots, and has different textures - grass, woods, rocks - to explore. This is off a busy road, but the fencing is secure and tree-lined so that’s not been an issue for us as it still seems secluded. Elly K.

55The host was really nice! The property was large and well maintained and had a nice clean area to let the dogs run. The fence was secure all the way around the property and we didn't see any other animals. 100% we are going to be back again. Chelsie M.

55What a great place to play ball! My dog loved it. Host was super friendly and very attentive (it was my first time there). If you have a reactive dog, be aware that there are 2 dogs on the other side of the fence, but it wasn't a problem for my dog once I yelled at him to leave them alone. One thing I really liked is that the grass is thick. I believe there's only one other Sniffspot in Olympia and it's almost all dirt now.Sarah H.

55Visiting this Sniffspot was a pleasure for my two Border Collies. They had plenty of room to run without getting lost. The property was clean and safe. My only suggestion for the host would be to post a sign at the entrance of the site. Just a piece of paper attached to the gate would do. It's a bit disconcerting to enter someone's property without validation that you're at the correct place. We checked the address six times and compared pictures of the grounds several times before we felt comfortable. Even with that bit of feedback, I would recommend this spot for other dogs.Robert W.

55We loved this spot! The terrain was interesting to my dogs, with small forested areas, large flat areas to reach top speeds, and the whole yard stretches around the house for optimal zoomie loops. I also appreciated that the fence/gate closes behind your car, so loading & unloading was a breeze. There were some typical household & garden potential hazards, such as full wheelbarrows, garden tools, brambles, and fallen fruits that weren’t a problem for us but are worth considering based on your dog’s needs. I recommend this spot for dogs who aren’t overly curious or who have a strong understanding of “leave it”. Jamie F.

FAQ about our DuPont 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.
