55Our two dogs love the farm. One of them has had a hip replacement 2 years ago and it's a joy to watch her running around the paddock. Lots to sniff and investigate and really good shady spots that she finds to rest in when she needs a break. The other dog just wants to run and run, and this spot is perfect for that. He also loves the swampy pond in the lower paddock.Andy P.

55My old girl can't run like she used to, but she loves to sniff. As always it is awesome to have a place like this available where she can sniff to her hearts content and not see any other dogs :)Kate N.

55My first visit to The Sniffari Paddock and Oti had a great time de-stressing and zooming madly there. Highly recommend it as a problem free way to have some quality time with your dog. We will be back xxJenny S.

55Friendly host on arrival. Lovely spot for dogs to run around freely and plenty of smells to sniff! Only the top paddock was available with this visit due to a fallen tree and that was plenty for my dog to burn off her energy for the morning. Thanks for providing the area :)Bessie C.

55My two dogs got very excited by the friendly horse neighbour and the big fluffy sheep in the other paddock. This made it difficult for them to fully decompress - however, after they managed to desensitise themselves enough and they thoroughly enjoyed getting stuck into some serious sniffing. We will definitely be back!Charlotte H.

55Annie is an excellent communicator, and the Sniffari Paddock is everything your dog could want for - lots of well fenced space which has been thoughtfully planted and is very well looked after. We loved it.Penny D.

55Had a great time at the Sniffari Paddock!! The dogs loved it and had a fantastic time running, swimming and exploring. 😍
Great venue, safe place for your dog/s to explore. I liked the variety of the different paddocks. I now know why it is hard to get a time slot for this place and why it is so popular. Will definitely be back (and would highly recommend it, but wouldn't want more people knowing about this little gem in Horokiwi)
The host was lovely, great communication, you can tell they take great pride in the sniffari to make a great place for dogs and their owners.
Thank you.Anke C.

55Our dogs loved this! Fully fenced, lots of room to run around, plenty of space to play and they loved the pond to cool down in - we were lucky to get a beautifully sunny day. Great hosts welcomed and showed us round on arrival. Sophie B.

FAQ about our Ellerslie 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 Ellerslie?
There are 5 dog fields in the Ellerslie area. The most popular dog field is 4 Acre Fenced Dog Heaven!. 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 Ellerslie area range from $15.0 and $15.0. The least expensive dog field is 4 Acre Fenced Dog Heaven!. The most expensive dog field is 4 Acre Fenced Dog Heaven!. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
