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.

55Our first time, and my Malamute’s favorite day of his whole life. Who knew he loved mud so much?! We extended our booking to stay and watch the gorgeous sunset. So grateful. Elise D.

55Directions to the site were clear and there is a sign on the gate so you know which one to go through. Huge pastures to run and sniff along with a pond to wade in made this a great day for one blue merle Border Collie! Boots a necessity and your dog will probably get muddy but that's the fun part of being a dog. Ground is uneven but that wasn't a problem for us and we found some nice dry spots to play frisbee. We both enjoyed our time there and plan to return. June M.

55A water dogs dream! My senior dog couldn’t have been happier with the water spots.. tons of space for the dogs to sniff and get a full sprint! Both dogs got a bath afterward- don’t underestimate the mud!
It would be great for the adjoining gates to have Sniffspot signs on them for added assurance, I wasn’t 100 percent sure that we were looking at the right gates and didn’t want to go through just incase we ended up in the same field as livestock.
Overall an amazing spot, we will absolutely be back!Lauren Z.

55Our most favorite spot! We have been waiting since March to be able to come back, our dogs love it as it gives them plenty of space to run without stopping, and a few puddles to splash through. We can always guarantee that after spending some time here they will be pooped for the next few days. Emily B.

55What a magical place! The fencing is secure and there is more than enough room for exploring, running around, and getting good and muddy. My dog liked doing long range exercises and rolling around in the grass. She was tired out after only a half hour, which is hard to do with a Kelpie! Awesome space, we will definitely be back.Alea P.

55My dogs had a ton of fun here! Lots of wide open space for my blind dog to play fetch, lots of fun smells. There was poop from cows I’m assuming, which my rottie did have a good roll in lol, you might want to be aware if your pup is so inclined, but he thoroughly enjoyed himself. Amiya M.

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 60 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 $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is 3/4 Acre Grassy Dog Run. The most expensive dog field is 3/4 Acre Grassy Dog Run. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
