55Out of all the trees I went through I only came across one spider web! Such a great time for my dogs, they warmed up and just started running around. Alicja M.

55Tim was pretty friendly, attentive & thoughtful. There are toys (in good shape), balls, branches, kiddie pool & sprinklers. Also, there’s a nice relaxing area around a big bonfire with plenty of spacious chairs.
The property is big for our dogs to explore & stimulate their senses.
We were very pleased. Thanks Tim for sharing your spot!Anna K.

55A lot to explore with all the wooded areas. My dog had a great time. There was an area of damaged fence through some ferns so we avoided the general area and were still able to roam off leash.Clemence M.

55Amazing location! Really easy to find, easy gate. Great land. They had a kiddie pool for us and it was hilarious watching our pup bob for treats. We played fetch and really exhausted her. Great spots to sit and relax with your pup :)Shanel B.

55This place was really nice and clean, however if you have a dog who is bad with recall I wouldn’t recommend. We just rescued my husky and she hasn’t fully learned recall yet so she ran into the forest area and so we had to go in after her until she finally came out Daniella E.

55One of my favorite sniffspots. It's always clean, has plenty of grass so my dogs don't get too dirty, and lots of trees for shade. The host filled a pool for my pups and they enjoyed cooling down in it (and drinking it like it was a giant water bowl). Jamie X.

55This place is a hidden gem! Sooo much area to romp around in…my pup was worn out just from all of his exploring (thank you:)). The host was so kind to leave out toys, water, and offered to set out a sprinkler and/or kiddie pool for my pup to play in. We would love love love to come back!Kimber B.

55Absolute perfect spot for us! We loved going through the woods. If you venture out the next 24 hours or so, I think I walked through every spider web in the woods, so your walk will be a bit more spider free!
I didn't reply to the host soon enough for the pool to be filled up or to use the sprinkler, so we'll do that next trip. My boy has never played with balls or toys, but there are some available for use.
It was so nice to see him roam and run again after 5-6 years of walks around the apartment complex only with me and my walker. I'm partially handicapped - dead nerve in my leg/"drop foot"- so the different terrains were great for working on my balance. There's a nice huge bonfire area. I look forward to reserving time for that when it gets cold again. We had a great morning/early afternoon on this beautiful property and will definitely be returning.Heather G.

55This was our first experience with Sniffspot and it was awsome. Really nice property, well fenced, they left out dog toys with optional sprinkler and paddling pool. The property has a mixture of open areas for running and woods for exploring, and for humans there was a firepit with awesome wood chairs around it to relax. While our dogs explored the woods, I played hide and seek among the trees in the open area with my kids. Awesome time, will 100% go back.Brian K.

55What a gorgeous and surprising morning in nature. My no interest in toys for 15 years dog found a toy he wanted forever. All he did was carry it around and to the car, but this is a HUGE move for this dog! I'm unable to post a video.
I blame his new interest on the rescued girl I brought in last Thursday. She loves her new toys, and he watches her play with them but never engages or tries a toy out. This stuffed elephant today, though....melted my heart seeing him with it!
We're so thankful for access to this property and can't wait til our newly rescued girl can join us!Heather G.

55Great place for my pups to stretch their legs- sun and shade, private and secure. This is my first experience with Sniffspot and glad heard about it! I didn’t see a place to fill up water bowls- lots of hoses out to sprinklers that weren’t connected, but I didn’t investigate too thoroughly because I had water in my van and I didn’t want to snoop around a property that’s not mine.

FAQ about our Mount Dora 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.
