55A great place to take my dogs who arenโt the best sometimes with other dogs. They happily ran around and were super excited to be going out. Quiet and peaceful. The neighbour has two young labs who have a secret escape route. They came to the fence, friendly but made my boy bark a lot. The lady was very apologetic. Aside from that a great idea and I wish there were more in the area. Thank you. We will be back ๐๐Rebecca M.

55Fabulous spot. Quiet. Well fenced. My 3 dogs, including one who is very reactive had a blast. Was so nice seeing them all run freely and happily. And I didn't have to stress or look out for incoming people or dogs etc Luana G.

55Our boxer Zac had an amazing time running around of lead. He can be reactive on lead towards other dogs, so having a place where he can be off lead safely is perfect. We would highly recommend The Dog Farm. I would suggest taking a sun umbrella is summer for shade :)Jen C.

55Just spent the last hour watching my dogs have the time of their lives. Running free, sniffing, chasing balls, access to fresh water, they were in their element,
all thanks to this great idea of a secure park for owners to use undisturbed. Great work. Will be back on the regular.Amanda S.

55What an amazing idea / spot / resource for doggo parents!! We have 2 Huskyโs that we can never let off-lead anywhere due to their speed, stamina and desire to run til they drop!. They had an absolute ball running free and it was a joy to watch them have sprinting competitions and just do dog-stuff ๐ great safe space - the water bowls, hose and ball chuckers were a nice surprise.

Even a couple of ball & sticks to throw. Lovely & quiet, very clean & grass was a good length. Easy to book & a must visit; will def be back ๐Amanda J.

55Great spot for our 2 reactive dogs to have a run around on our way down to Hastings from Hamilton. Safe and private location with adequate fencing and water provided. Take your own toys and poo bags.
There were lots of large prickles in the ground, one of our dogs stood on one and was limping for a short while after, so just something to bare in mind if you have a sensitive dog. Our other dog didn't care and had a great time running around!
Thank you for sharing the spot with us :)

55For our first experience it was a great area for our 18 month old lab retriever to burn some energy as all enclosed. Water is available, a bench to sit on, ball thrower and ball but we took all of our own toys to entertain. The only issue we would raise is the grass was so long our pup had a couple of grass seeds that had to be removed from his paws. Rachel E.

55This is a great spot! Secure fencing all round (Maggie-Ann inspected every inch looking for a way out), a good mix of terrain to really exert my dog, lots of long grass and bushes for her to sniff and explore, a good size for recall training. Happy dog, happy owner! Highly recommend!Vivienne H.

FAQ about our Otane 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 Otane?
There are 2 dog fields in the Otane area. The most popular dog field is ๐พ The Dog Farm ๐พ. 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 Otane area range from $5.0 and $5.0. The least expensive dog field is ๐พ The Dog Farm ๐พ. The most expensive dog field is ๐พ The Dog Farm ๐พ. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
