55This was the best sniff spot! Our two Golden Retrievers had a blast and so did we. They love exploring, especially wooded areas. The small spot of mud was THE highlight for my male 😂 The wash station was great.
There were even toys, bug spray, a first aid kit etc. to use. Poop bags throughout. Very clean and well kept.Moriah D.

55100% perfect! We chose this location for the size and for the secure fencing (because my husband is a worrier). We brought an Easter picnic and it was so pleasant to sit on the covered deck + walk the trails and explore with our dog. We laughed because we did not manage to sit in even half the available chairs, swings, hammocks set out around the property. I liked that there were trails + wooded areas + a field large enough for good frisbee throws and we coukd pretty much still see our dog as she bounced around - a perfect size! The dog bath area was set up so nicely but we didn't use it. Really, this is a beautiful spot and close enough that we will plan to come again. Thank you so much!Madeline G.

55Hands down one of the best sniff spots I have been to. The fencing around the property was very secure, for small dogs or big dogs. The double gates between the dogs and the road makes me feel good about getting them in an out of my car, communication with the host was very quick and so helpful, the space was amazing. There was a bath station with shampoo and brushes, plenty of toys and treats, bug spray for humans and flea and tick spray for the pups. I could go on and on about how wonderful the space is, but you should go check for yourself!Katie S.

55Our German Shepherd girl loved this adventure at Captain's Retreat. Wooded areas and open meadow gave lots of room for exploring. The fencing was very secure so no worries there. So many thoughtful touches to make your time there fun and easy - for both pups and their humans. The host, Tiffany, has created a magical place! Some recommendations for first time visitors like us: wear sturdy shoes, even hiking boots, as the terrain is hilly and uneven in places; bring a jacket as it can be windy and shaded areas are cool; an hour goes by quickly, consider booking 2 hours.Barbara B.

55They say they want to offer a safe, secure and positive experience and that is EXACTLY what was provided! Brought 3 pups that don't often get to enjoy a large wooded area and they LOVED it. It's a wonderful and huge spot to allow your pup to run, explore and play, with multiple areas for the owners to enjoy as well, swings, tables, chairs. Not to mention the large bin of toys, treats, poop bags, bug spray, sunscreen and a wash area. We will for sure be going back!Maria B.

55This place is an absolute dream. Lots of really interesting variety, some grassy fields, some woodsy areas, and a little house to hang out in. My dogs loved it and so did I!! We could have spent a whole day there! The only small note I would make is for those of you who have very noise sensitive dogs - there is a pretty big road that runs along one side of the property. Large trucks were going by it for most of the time we were there. This shouldn't be a problem for most dogs, but if you have a very noise sensitive dog, you might want to time it at a lower traffic time (basically, this place is so great that I would say, go anyway!, just find the time that's lower traffic)Bethany K.

55This is my third time at this location, and my first time in the evening. Highly recommend! The traffic was a lot lighter than other times I've been here, and it's a beautiful drive in the evening. I can't wait to come back next weekend!Bethany K.

55We packed our gang of four into our dog van and drove an hour to visit Captain's Retreat and it was well worth the trip! We will be back. Captain's Retreat is a thoughtfully designed dog park. The fencing is tall and sturdy (and looks very nice), and we loved the separately fenced parking area - totally safe and no danger of running into the road getting in or out of the car. The trail design through the woods is perfect, with hammocks and little sitting nooks along the way, and plenty of room for the dogs to get lost from view but still be close enough to call them back to us. They had the time of their lives! Running and sniffing - through the woods, traversing the gulley, over the bridge and through the field. We could have stayed all day! 3 of our dogs have some fear/reactivity challenges, so this was the perfect place to let them romp and get a much needed dose of freedom without the stress of other dogs and people. The gazebo area has everything you need - a grill, dog wash station, sitting area, and little porch - it would be a great place to spend a few hours relaxing while the dogs spend time doing dog things. There is a nearby house with a dog who barked quite a bit when we visited the newly fenced area, but that was no problem for us - just letting anyone who has a super-reactive dog know what to expect. Thank you for creating such a great space for dogs!Shannon M.

55What an amazing spot!! So so glad we stopped here. We drove from Kentucky to visit family here in NC, so wanted to give the pup time to decompress after driving for 8 hours. He got all his energy out and loved every second of it!!Courtney Q.

55We had a wonderful time as usual. This is Cherokees favorite spot since we moved here. Clean with lots of woods and field to explore.
Always happy when I can let Cherokee explore without worrying about safety. Secure fencing lets us just enjoy the experience.Chris M.

FAQ about our Mocksville 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 Mocksville?
There are 46 dog fields in the Mocksville area. The most popular dog field is Captain's Retreat at Bear Creek. 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 Mocksville area range from $15.0 and $15.0. The least expensive dog field is Captain's Retreat at Bear Creek. The most expensive dog field is Captain's Retreat at Bear Creek. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
