55Black Pond Farm is a magical place, and one of my top 2 favorite Sniffspots! We could come everyday and would never get bored or have the same experience twice. You can't help but laugh watching your pack race along the trails, splash through the streams, swim in the ponds, scramble over logs and giant glacial boulders, snoot and root under ferns, zoom around the pasture, and of course, roll in the mud 🤪 The pups have the time of their lives and you'll leave with joy in your heart. I appreciate how thoughtful the hosts are with the amenities and their generosity sharing this gorgeous place with us. We also use the trails out on the DNR land. We have never encountered anyone else.Aubbie B.

55Pros: natural wooded area with groomed trail. Feels private and supplies were provided, if needed. Covered area available. There is DNR trails available off the property. Pond and running stream.
Cons: We did hear gun shots, quite loud, during our time so decided to leave a little early. This cannot be controlled by the property owners, understood, we just got unlucky. I also did not read about loose domestic (black /and white) rabbits close to the mentioned aviary bird enclosure (we saw 4 running around), in the description. This scared me, as I do own a dog with high prey drive. His recall is decent but if he gets predatory drift I cannot call him off killing critters. He was kept on leash after we saw the rabbits so less off leash time. Luckily he didn’t get to these rabbits as my friend ahead of me warned me. If I knew about this prior I would not have booked. Overall, the area available to us seemed smaller than listed 20 acres.LEEANN Y.

55Dogs had an amazing time at Black Pond! This spot is great with all of the different things it has to offer…..trails, fields, free roaming, etc. My pups brought their cousins along to show off the SniffSpot. The host was incredible at letting us know that a dump truck was dropping something off nearing our departure time so we stayed in the field playing for a few extra minutes! So nice to have a host that understands the special needs of our pets. It was a fun activity to do pre- Thanksgiving…..dogs were exhausted on Thanksgiving which allowed everyone to rest. Will definitely be back. Heather P.

55This was a great spot. More than enough room to run for our pups. It was pretty wet when we visited (PNW winter, ha) so I really appreciated the towels being provided to dry them off. Ample signage and clear instructions meant we had no doubt where to go. We'll be back again for sure. Doug J.

55Black Farm Pond is quickly becoming our favorite Sniffspot. Tim has lots of clear signage throughout his property that lets you know where you’re going and how to return to the parking area, which is extremely helpful on such a large property. The tent set-ups at Club Zoomies and by the pond have been very nice during this rainy weather. The only note is that it does get quite dark by 4 pm (winter season), so I’d recommend bringing a headlamp or flashlight if you’re visiting past that time.
Overall, I think Black Pond Farm is great!Andi N.

55This place is the best!! My dog loooooves to sniff and explore and track scents but she’s reactive so hiking can be stressful for her (and me). This is an amazing place to let her just be a dog without any worries. Had to keep her on leash because her penchant for tracking overrides her recall training every time but she still had the best adventure. Thank you so much for creating this space and we will definitely be back!!! Hannah K.

55This was our first visit but definitely won’t be our last. It’s a very well kept trail and everything is clearly marked. Our dogs weren’t the only ones who enjoyed their time, we did too. There were also convenient times available to book. We look forward to coming back here!Michelle D.

FAQ about our Newman Lake 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 Newman Lake?
There are 23 dog fields in the Newman Lake area. The most popular dog field is Dawn to Dusk Doggy Domain. 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 Newman Lake area range from $5.0 and $5.0. The least expensive dog field is Dawn to Dusk Doggy Domain. The most expensive dog field is Dawn to Dusk Doggy Domain. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
