55This is a gorgeous spot with lots of space for pups to run, sniff, and explore! The view from the top of the hill is stunning. The entire family had a blast wandering around the property. And we bought a dozen fresh eggs that were adorably packaged! We’re looking forward to our next visit! Caroline T.

55Happy to see a spot right near Salem to visit!! Lots of variety and spots to explore. My dogs had a great time sniffing and exploring between the trees and pastures. Walk up the hill and there are two chairs to look out over the property. Loved the variety and lots of places to walk 😃 instructions were easy and place was very easy to find Rebecca and Jesse F.

55This spot was huge! So many areas for my hyperactive dog to run around and explore, and we barely scratched the surface our first visit. Also met the host and she was lovely. So happy there is finally a great sniff spot in Salem, my dog and I had a wonderful time.
Things to note: Make sure to look out for the orange double gate on your left side before the mailbox. And there are chickens and other animals near the entrance of the property, so I would recommend leashing up and walking up the hill a bit before unleashing if your dog likes to chase or is distracted by other animals.
Can’t wait to come back! Definitely planning on picking up the farm fresh eggs next time too. 😊Grace L.

55My dogs had a great time out at this property! There is so much open area for them to run around and play. If you get to the top of the hill, the view is amazing, and there are chairs too! We had a great time and will definitely be back! We even got fresh duck eggs too which was a great perk! ❤️Jillian C.

55This place was beautiful and so much room for my pups to run! They loved it! My older boy struggled to get to the top of the hill and back to the car but he’s 15 and still had a blast! Katelyn O.

55What a beautiful spot! Our dogs loved the varying terrain; hills, flat, meadow, long-grass, mowed grass, forest. We loved the forest area, so amazingly cool. One of our dogs would have loved a free-range duck dinner so we kept him on a leash. Our other dog would have loved to corral them so we kept her further away, which was easy to do since she has good recall. They are herding dogs with a good prey-drive, go figure. :) The place is pristine with gorgeous views. Great spot, especially for dogs that don't need secure fencing. Just beautiful and spacious. Thanks, Sally!! Bobbie B.

55Wow this spot is massive, it feels much bigger than 23 acres. My lab had the best time running around and sniffing everything. There’s a little bit of everything here, which kept it exciting for my dog and fun for me as well. The chairs at the top of the hill made for an amazing spot to enjoy the view and the sunshine.

55We, and the dogs, thoroughly enjoyed our hour and a half at Amy’s. Plenty of room to play fetch with the chuck it and the dogs loved exploring. One of our dogs took a swim the pond. We will definitely book this Sniff spot again!Tina L.

55This SniffSpot is great for my dog. He is a very scent-oriented dog and there are a lot of new and interesting ones here. There are also some nice distractions if you are doing some recall training. An occasional car that goes by, walkers, and dog-walkers. The site also has goats and chickens in a separate but adjacent field. John B.

55Great place, tons of shade from the trees which is great in this hot weather! Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Decent amount of old horse poops so if your pup is into eating that sort of thing be aware…Robin F.

55This spot was great! The field and big log pile were perfect for a dog working on complex training. The other dog (old guy) enjoyed sniffing every inch of the grounds among the trees with all of the doggy scents. Huge space, well fenced, and Lynn was very nice and helpful introducing us to all the features. Couldn’t have asked for more.Jocelyn N.

55My dogs had a great time running, playing and jumping in the water trough. They had a great time exploring the whole area and my older guy wore himself out after about 45 minutes. Rick met me in the driveway to show me the ropes and have a chat. Thete's water for the dogs, a horse trough for splashing around in and a hose outside the fenced area for a rinse off afterwards. I'll definitely go back and next time remember to take puctures of my dogs having a bladt.Diane B.

FAQ about our Independence 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 Independence?
There are 46 dog fields in the Independence area. The most popular dog field is The Peach Place 1.25 Fenced Acres. 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 Independence area range from $10.0 and $10.0. The least expensive dog field is The Peach Place 1.25 Fenced Acres. The most expensive dog field is The Peach Place 1.25 Fenced Acres.
