55My mom and I had so much fun with our dogs at this spot! We loved the pool as we don't have access to one ourselves, and we were able to help our dogs start learning how to swim haha! They are nervous in the water, but they were able to get some positive practice entering the pool. We really appreciated the life vests, the treats, and the water bowl for the dogs! The dogs also really loved the shade and the screened in porch. We had so much fun in the pool that we didn't get to explore the backyard. We'll have to book again soon! It really is such a nice spot, and we look forward to going again! Kaelyn A.

55First time doing this, and thank God we live kinda far away, otherwise, we would be going every weekend to enjoy this place. The pool was clean, as well as the rest of the place. Toys, treats, towels and poop bags were ready on the table. There is plenty of shade if it's too sunny. This place is great for small dogs, the fenced area is enough for our 2 small dogs to run around and play with the hose. They didn't swim much but definitely they were comfortable. We spent only 1 hour (which didn't seem enough) but we really enjoyed this time with our pups.Aaron C.

55This place was perfect. Our golden, Asher figured out the steps then wanted to swim the rest of the time. Although our other boy, Goose isn't as fond of the water, he still had a great time running circles around the pool. It was clean, and there were towels and treats and everything they needed. We will definitely be back. Anna V.

55My dogs had a wonderful time running around the yard. They had never been to a pool before. They waded in but wouldn't commit all the way. It was a blast. Will definitely be back. Nice yard clean pool.Diana E.

55We had a great time! The yard is securely fenced and well kept. The neighborhood is very quiet. We heard another dog barking once, very briefly, and it did not sound close by. Otherwise we did not see or hear anyone/anything. The setup was inviting and everything we needed was provided - plenty of seating, toys, poop bags, even treats, towels and life jackets. We can’t wait to visit again!Amber L.

FAQ about our Harrisburg 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.
