55We had a wonderful time this morning. The yard was beautiful, very secure fence and area to sit if needed. Water was out for our dog and some toys! Our dog ,Rio ,especially loved it when the neighbor’s dog joined for a bit and the two dogs could run the fence line and play! Host responded promptly and made sure we felt welcomed in their yard. Love this spot!Carla B.

55We returned today to the yard in Clermont. Another wonderful visit for our rescue dog Rio! The yard was thick and mowed. Fresh water was out for Rio and a lovely rocking chair for me. The fence is so secure I do not have to worry at all when Rio is running and sniffing endlessly. Thank you again!Carla B.

55We had a great time exploring this area! Now that trails are busier again with the good weather we are so happy to have found this place which gives us space to explore without worrying about bumping into other hikers and dogs. Melon loved it, a big pittie smile on her face the whole time! We will definitely come back!Monni B.

55This was our second visit and boy did Melon have a lovely time! So much sniffing and bouncing to be done. Note it is an unfenced field - works well for Mel and I though with a long lead and her having worry free fun!Monni B.

55Melon and I love this place! It's unfenced but gives us a spot for walking where she can relax and there is no fear of other dogs running up to her. This time, we saw a deer and Mel spent the next 45 minutes trying to find it. Suffice to say a very happy pup!Monni B.

55A joy as always. We love how this place looks (and probably smells) different every time. Melon had fun sniffing to her heart's content. Even more needed after an off-leash dog ran up to her earlier this morning. Lovely decompression time!Monni B.

55After a ropey day of neighborhood walks, I treated us to this sniffspot this morning. We always love it here. We did first thing in the morning and I am sure the place was deer scent infused (we have seen deer here before, and the way Melon clearly tried to find something for around 45 mins of our visit were a dead giveaway 😂🤣). So she sniffed and sniffed! We saw one man walking by but no big deal. Definitely the right choice to regroup after a ropey day! We love this spot!Monni B.

55Nice big open "old field" with mowed trails in Indianapolis. My pup was on a long leash the whole time and had fun exploring. The host provided sunscreen and bug spray at the parking spot. There is a lot of poison ivy on the edge of the property near the creek, but that is part of living in Indiana. The creekbed was dry, but it is the beginning of September. I am sure it has more water in the spring. 46th street is busy as they say. I got some jam and it is quite good, I recommend it! Megan M.

55This place is awesome. There are two areas where you can take your pups, one in the front of the house and one in the back. The lawn area is mowed and well kept and the tall grassy/prairie area under the right-of-way would be great for larger dogs wanting to run through it and sniff. I saw very little poison ivy. For dogs that are farm animal reactive, there is a billy goat in the back on the other side of the backyard, so just fyi. There are little doggie bag stations and spots with thermos's of cold water and dog bowls for your dog to drink. And lots of smells for your pup. My stuff wore himself out and kept giving me the happy dog grin. It is a great place. Megan M.

55Our first visit to this sniffspot and we loved it. It's two fields, one front, one back with a lot of interesting smells that kept Melon busy for the hour! It's near fully fenced (I am still working on long line with Melon in most places) and lots of space for zoomies and rolling and doing what dogs do! There's water provided too. We will definitely be back!Monni B.

FAQ about our Indianapolis 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.
