55It was a hot day and the trees on the property provided some much needed shade. Our dog enjoyed sniffing, rolled around and marked plenty of trees to his heart's content. It seemed like he had a calm, pleasant roam-around. He did get a bit distracted by the horses and sat by the gate. I think there were interesting smells outside the Sniffspot that were making him want to explore beyond the fence.Julia M.

55This is a great spot to bring your pups. There is enough space for the dogs to run around and explore, but it’s not too big for you to be able to keep an eye on them. Lot of shade from the trees.Stacey H.

55What a wonderful place to spend a warm summer morning. Enough shade for all of us to relax in if we wanted (they didn’t, but I appreciated it!), and the extra water buckets were great. Definitely a favorite of ours.Jennifer M.

55We had a great time! Excellent, lovely hosts -- Lynn met us when we arrived and made sure we knew where everything was and we chatted with Rick for a bit on the way out. The area was gorgeous... nice and secure with plenty of room for our dogs to explore, sniff, run, and chase squirrels. Can't wait to come back!Missi C.

55Great place to bring my four legged baby! The hosts were wonderful, very welcoming and even checked to make sure we were comfortable. The area was large, fended and well maintained. Will definitely be taking her back soon.Quynh C.

55An amazing, peaceful property. There was so much open space for my pup to romp around and explore. Plenty of shade under the tall fir trees as well. Rick was so kind, welcoming and accommodating. We’ll definitely be back again!Caresse L.

55Reasons why this is the BEST Sniffspot: 1-they provide giant tanks and buckets of fresh water so you don’t have to lug your own jugs in. 2-the property has so many fun things to sniff due to the wood piles they have. Our dogs get to really hunt all the critters that hide in them vs just an open field. 3-the hosts are the kindest and most caring people and are available if you need anything. 4-beautiful big trees to enjoy sitting in the shade while your pups are running around.

55Our hosts could not have been nicer. They have a great spot with water, garbage, places to sit and a fully fenced area to play in. So great to find this spot not too far away. Alison C.

55I didn’t get to meet the hosts because they were out of town but the instructions were pretty clear and the space was what I expected. It was fully fenced and my dog had a great time. She’s been so stressed living in the city and this was just the break she needed. I will be looking to visit again.Sarah W.

55Really awesome, clean, fun spot. Love the chairs and shade. The horses are awesome and so tolerant of the dogs. The water trough is perfect for dogs to dunk and cool off. Hosts are very friendly. We'll be back! Thank you!Kim K.

55We enjoyed this spot so much! Lynn was extremely kind and accomodating and took time to answer my questions before the visit. I have a snaller pup (dachshund) and wanted to double check about fence security and also make sure he could not join the horse area 🤦🏻♀️
The fence is totally secure and it felt very safe for Rusty to explore. Lynn and her daughter Zoey both showed me around and were lovely to chat with. I also went home with a dozen fresh eggs! We will absolutely be back. Emily 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.
