55We were super excited about taking our 8 month old black lab out to do some off leash training and just to see how she did off leash. She had an absolute blast. Plenty of areas to walk and even though it was cold Rory loved the pond. Thanks Marc for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful land. Wesley R.

55A great spot. I recommend bringing a blanket or something to sit under the shade. The grass is tall so probably no sandals unless you want to rock the socks&sandals like I did.Abigail R.

55A lovely big field with some trees and a pond—my dog loves seeing the horses & cows and smelling ALL the smells. (There is the occasional wildlife scat, which just blows his MIND.)Casey C.

55Hazel loved running down the mowed paths and leaping through the tall grass. Her tail never stopped wagging the entire visit! Helpful signage directs visitors where to park, enter dog park, etc. Will definitely return.Matt P.

55My dog had the best day of her life here! Seeing her sprint around and explore the farm made me so happy. We drove close to an hour to get here and I would do it again in a heartbeat. She slept the entire way home, it was such a fun time! Thank you so much for this experience :) Allyson D.

55Lots of space to run and lots of new smells for the dogs. Kingston enjoyed swimming in the pond and actually wined when I put him in the car to leave. Will definitely be back! I will say there are 2 gates without chicken wire that my dog would be able to get out of so I just steered him away from that area. Heather T.

55This is a regular visit for us! Well worth the drive! My sweet boy loves being able to explore, and I love that he can run free! He used to hate water and now the pond is his favorite place! 😊Jessica R.

55My hound mix loved this place! This was our first sniffspot experience and she was a little hesitant to venture far from us at first but after a few minutes, she was running all over the place and even got her feet wet in the pond. She is a happy and tired girl now! Thank you, Marc!Casey C.

55My dog and I absolutely loved this spot. There was so much room for her to run and play. And she loved being able to get in the water. Getting to the pasture was a bit muddy, but that’s to be expected with the rain we’ve gotten. Just make sure you wear the right shoes! We’ll absolutely be returning to the Sniffspot as my girl had the best time. Allison D.

55What a great spot! Especially if you have a reactive doggo that doesn't do well in public parks. It's a huuuuge fenced-in field with a fun pond our dogs swam in, nearby horses, and a ton of room to just run and be free! The hosts left dog toys that we could play with and there's some cute seating for the humans around the pond - we could've stayed all day!
The fencing is very secure around the property, though the primary metal gate for entry/exit did have gaps in it (just the standard design for a farm gate). Other than the horses in neighboring fields (separated by the fencing, and not always visible depending on where you are on the property - it's 30 acres after all), we were all by ourselves.
Signs to the property and instructions on where to park were clear. The host family was very kind, we saw them briefly as we were walking in.
We'll definitely be back and recommend the spot to other fur families :)Stephanie P.

FAQ about our Lancaster 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.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Lancaster area range from $3.0 and $25.0. The least expensive dog field is Kathryn's Private Dog Park In Blythewood. The most expensive dog field is Cedar Creek Nature Retreat. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
