55Nice little spot! Easy to access and clearly a lot of care has been taken to dog proof all gates, etc. Water and poop bags provided is an added bonus! For those with reactive dogs, be advised dogs were barking from porch and were audible throughout my time there, but not really visible. Neighbors on side were also audible but not visible. All in all great spot for my needs!Cecelia E.

55Great spot for the dogs to sniff about and take in all the new smells. We had plenty of room to use the flirt pole with my hyperactive girl and she was worn out even before the hour was upAnn C.

55I was traveling through North Carolina and needed to let my dogs run before we finished out 10 hour driving day. This place was wonderful and had so many toys and a beautiful view. Naomi P.

55Completely fenced in and plenty of room for the pups to explore. It is on a slight hill, but that. Just tires the pups out more. Will definitely visit again!Shay G.

55We loved our time at this sniff spot! The dogs had lots of room to run around, secure fencing, plenty of water to drink and a super fun tunnel to play in. My oldest dog really enjoyed sitting and watching the horses in a pasture down the hill. We will definitely be back!Lauren S.

55Pibble Hill is the epitome of a Sniff Spot. My little guy was far more interested in sniffing than playing. We plan to come back maybe with a dog friend so they can play. Beautiful spot, very accessible and fun for my guy. Patti S.

55We had a great time! Lots of new things to sniff, room to run, and fully fenced. There is so loose fencing attached to one of the side gates, so just keep a close eye if you have an escape artist. Logan B.

55We are in the area vacationing with our reactive dog for the first time ever! We needed a close spot that was fully fenced that would fit our Aussie’s needs. Pibble Hill was GREAT! It was fully enclosed - no escape artist acts on our visit. The activities in the upper part of the hill were fantastic. They provide hand sanitizer and doggie bags on the double gates. We were go back and 100% recommend. Emily O.

FAQ about our Mars Hill 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.
