55Beautiful farm with large play area and lots of fun trails to explore. Shawna also provided my dog with water, toys, poop bags and bug spray, and some other supplies. My dog had a blast. It is a great place for him to explore in a calm and playful state. He did not want to leave by the end of it. The neighbor's dog's a bit reactive, but did not cause any trouble to us (having a good recall helps, so your fur baby won't go to close). I would definitely like to come back. Danny L.

55This is such a wonderful spot! It was bigger than I expected - the open grass area is large and has lots of space for the dogs to run around. There are quite a few trees so a good amount of shade too. There is also a network of small trails which we had fun exploring. The creek had a tiny bit of water so my dogs could lay down to cool off, but it was pretty muddy. We didn’t mind though. It is a very quiet spot! Karly H.

55Feels like a small park. Didn’t expect the trails to be as nice as they were. Nice open area for off leash/training my German shepherd. Overall good experience - a good mix of trails and open field. Would come here again! Jas S.

55We were in the area so thought we would check this place out. Sweet little spot, we scouted out the whole place including the field, little paths and muddy creek. My dog had a great little on-leash sniffari and areas to avoid were clearly marked. The only challenge for us was the squirrels on the way up to/back from the field - if your dog has prey drive you might want to allow extra time 😂 #thattimeofyearRachael W.

55Toby and I had a great time at Freedom Farm! I msged my cell number to Shawna after I booked and she shared some super helpful videos and a map of her property. The space was very clean and well maintained. Toby had a great time exploring the trails and sniffing around! Clare L.

55My pup and I had a wonderful hour at Freedom Farm! The property is not fenced and my dog is reactive & doesn’t have a solid recall (especially when triggered). But this wasn’t a deal-breaker for me. The size of the property and an acreage/natural setting is more important to me. I have a 20-ft long line for my dog and the fact that I have exclusive use of 3 acres without concern of being approached by uninvited off-leash dogs was fantastic and made for a stress-free outing! My dog loves to sniff and this property is perfect to stimulate her senses given its natural landscape. The leaves are starting to fall which made for some beautiful tours through the trails. I had the opportunity to meet Shawna as well and she was such a lovely and professional host!Laura G.

55Fabulous! Lovely clean and well-cared for spot. Big space to run around with lots of shade trees and corners to explore, little creek/muddy feet :-) Network of short, pretty trails. Wonderful, helpful host. Not fully fenced but a sense of natural boundaries so we were totally relaxed with our group (none are "runners"). Will definitely visit again!Amanda G.

55We returned to Freedom Farms this morning, and it was wonderful. The area is beautiful with cleared trails, wandering creek, gently rolling open spaces- and no noise - such a zen space. We recalled this morning why we love it so much. Our three dogs had the time of their life! Will be booking more this Fall! Marika S.

55We had a fantastic time! Sparrow loved all the trails, going in the mud, and chasing her ball in the off leash area! The freedom was great and we’ll definitely be back.

55Loved the first visit! Ground was fairly even ground surface and was on a small hill. Scenic space, quiet👍❤️. Even though their was no fence, my (terrible recall🙄) dog managed to keep to the grassy field part😁. Will definitely come back🐕❤️. Had fresh towels for us to use. We were so glad because we found the mud.Shawna S.

FAQ about our North Vancouver 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.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the North Vancouver area range from $20.0 and $20.0. The least expensive dog field is Acres in the Forest. The most expensive dog field is Acres in the Forest. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
