55I loved the place. Tony was super accommodating and the space was huge. My Doberman enjoyed running around to his heart’s content. It was also a great opportunity to work on long-distance recall! I would not be likely to bring my chihuahuas just because birds of prey were abundant, but my large breed loved it.Cat S.

55Wow, just amazing! Like other reviews Tony is friendly and welcoming. Thank is very timid at times and to let him run he had a blast and is just laying at my feet after we came home and he showered and gobbled down food. We will be back thank you so much! Crystal K.

55This place was great! Tony was very easy to communicate with. Our dogs loved running around free, and I loved not having to worry about them getting loose because the whole area was securely fenced. Would definitely recommend!Katy T.

55Tony’s property was everything he promised and more! What a joy and privilege it was to have my golden retriever be able to run, sniff, and explore so freely while also being secure/safe. The pond, the pastures, and the small trails behind the house afforded Bilbo so many opportunities to embrace his true nature. The exercise I got along the way climbing the hills and adding steps to my daily count circling the property were just added bonuses! We will absolutely be back to visit; we’re so thankful to have found Tony’s place!Jessica B.

55We’ve been back to Tony’s sniffspot a few times already and will continue to visit. The dogs know where we are as soon as I let them out and love running! The yard is so securely fenced that I don’t have to worry if they get ahead of me. This past visit we became best friends with the calm, patient horse up the hill. Emily S.

55Awesome, just awesome!! We all had a blast walking the property and exploring. The fence is completely secure around the entire property. The dogs were able to be out of our eyesight without worrying. We knew they were safe and just having fun. The landscape was beautiful! The pond was a great place for the dogs to cool off a bit and relax. The trails around were fun for us to walk while the dogs were wondering. They definitely had fun trying to find where we went!

55Secure fencing for even the smaller dogs (our smallest is 15 pounds), some short grass and some tall when we visited which the dogs loved to jump into and explore. The dogs had a fantastic time running around! Will visit again!Lindsay K.

55First time using Sniffspot did not disappoint. One of my dogs has absolutely zero recall so it was nice for him to be able to run off leash in such a wide open space. Tony was very thorough with directions and his property beautiful and open with lots of room for my dogs to run around. Rates were also very reasonable. Dani S.

FAQ about our Litchfield 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.
