55This was our first time using a sniff spot, and we couldn't have picked a better place! There was plenty of space for our family's three German Shorthaired Pointers to sprint full speed, and they even had the chance to chase some birds. Beware, there are places of extreme mud, but we came prepared, and our pups really love running through it! We will definitely be back.Heleena S.

55On our drive to this SniffSpot it started pouring down rain HARD, but luckily my dog and I don’t care and I brought extra towels after reading about how muddy the entrance can be. There was a lot of mud, and lots of little ponds forming in the pasture which was just more fun for my dog. There was also old cow poop so if your dog eats everything they may be interested in that. We had so much fun and it was so nice to let her stretch her legs and run like crazy on so much land! She romped around in the mud, puddles, and chased a couple birds. If you have a small dog I would be cautious. Because of the location there were two hawks circling near the pasture. I was a bit worried about how my dog would do with the fences, but she was totally uninterested in anything past the fence and knew she couldn’t get past it. Overall we had a great time and we will be back! Rebecca V.

55One of the best sniffspots I’ve been to yet! Absolutely beautiful, especially on this sunny day and so big! Laura was super fast to respond when I messaged her about a couple questions. My dogs had a wonderful time. Definitely wear good boots and clothes that can get dirty, and pack extra towels for the car! Can’t wait to come back, especially this summer! Thank you so much for having us!Sheridan B.

55We had a great time here for our first sniff spot experience!! It was definitely muddy in the first pasture and going through the gates, but once we got into the second it was awesome. There was so much room for the dogs to run and things to sniff. A lot of cow poop but just wear boots and watch your step! We will definitely be coming back Marina L.

55We had so much fun and we have 2 soggy and exhausted dogs after our time here. Our dogs had a blast running in the fields. Since it has been rainy the last few days there were lots of large puddles everywhere which was perfect because my boys LOVE to run in the water. We will be back for sure! Melissa B.

55Wonderful space that is quiet and completely fenced. No traffic and no other dogs. It was a tad muddy due to the time of year, but we had towels and water to clean off. Highly recommend if you have a reactive dog or need space to run! The host, Laura, was also very attentive and checked in to make sure everything was ok. Highly recommend!! Kaylee P.

FAQ about our Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon?
There are 61 dog fields in the Mount Vernon area. The most popular dog field is Lake Cavanaugh K9 Ranch. 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 Mount Vernon area range from $18.0 and $18.0. The least expensive dog field is Lake Cavanaugh K9 Ranch. The most expensive dog field is Lake Cavanaugh K9 Ranch. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
