55This is one of the prettiest little fields I’ve been in and Janet was lovely! Ahsoka had an absolute blast running around and rolling in the camas flowers. There are dogs near one end of the field, but they were so far away even their occasional bark didn’t get her attention. We’ll be back asap! Oona O.

55This spot was amazing l. Easy to find. Janet is very nice and showed us the property on our first visit, gave me the peace of mind to let my skiddish dog off leash and let him go crazy. He was WIPED OUT in no more than 25 minutes. We’ll definitely be back ♥️Jamie H.

55Huge meadow great for running around! Picnic table in the shade and the back of the property has a nice breeze. Very beautiful property. My dogs loved the stock tank at the gate. Water bucket/stock pond was really clean. Janet is a very nice hostess and has toys and towels for the dogs! Great price for 3 dogs! Will absolutely go again.Kathy S.

55My three dogs and I visited this lovely Sniffspot while on a road trip. The host was super helpful with extra information about what to expect weather and mud wise, and provided a hose and even fresh towels to clean my tired muddy dogs up at the end. She worked with my potentially not “on time” schedule since I was coming from 7 hours away, and was super helpful. She really went above and beyond! Very grateful to have a fun safe place for my dogs to run in an unfamiliar place! Aryn H.

55This was our first time using Sniffspot and it was great!
Janet was so nice and the space was perfect for our 5 dogs to get out and run to their hearts content.
It was a little muddy (expected as it was rainy) and the dogs just loved it!!Mike S.

55Clear directions, and Janet is awesome!
The place was clean and had everything you could want for your dogs enjoyment including plenty of water. 7 acres was way more than enough space. It smelled so good out and felt like a private walk in the forest where you don't have to worry AT ALL about your dogs.
It was refreshing and I felt at peace letting my dogs just roam, roll, play, and exlore.
Truly happy to have this gem to escape to. Thank you so much to you and your family Janet for opening your property for our fur friends. 🙂Brandi M.

55Our dogs are so tired! They had toys ready for us, and games for us! The host was super friendly and thought of everything. If our dogs had the energy to run and play for hours, they would have plenty to do. It’s worth every penny and I will be returning!Shian W.

55Commenting one more time since the property has been mowed for the season, we’ll probably never go to another sniff spot as long as Janet’s is around! We keep finding ourselves wanting to book more and more time; now they’ve even added new toys, human games and a water trough for the warmer weather. Since being mowed, fun new paths through the trees have been revealed and we just love walking around exploring their pasture and trails! Another huge perk is that even though there’s so much grass, we’ve never come home with a single flea or tick on either of our dogs :)
11/10, thank you so much Janet! Andrea I.

FAQ about our Oakland 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 Oakland?
There are 7 dog fields in the Oakland area. The most popular dog field is Grace Dog Park in Myrtle Creek. 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 Oakland area range from $9.0 and $9.0. The least expensive dog field is Seattle backyard doggie paradise!. The most expensive dog field is Seattle backyard doggie paradise!. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
