55Our two dogs love the farm. One of them has had a hip replacement 2 years ago and it's a joy to watch her running around the paddock. Lots to sniff and investigate and really good shady spots that she finds to rest in when she needs a break. The other dog just wants to run and run, and this spot is perfect for that. He also loves the swampy pond in the lower paddock.Andy P.

55My old girl can't run like she used to, but she loves to sniff. As always it is awesome to have a place like this available where she can sniff to her hearts content and not see any other dogs :)Kate N.

55Daisy had such a fun time! She’s leash reactive to other dogs so the option of taking her somewhere with a large fully fenced space she can run free is amazing. And she loved exploring the second paddock too, we kept her on a long line in there as the fence isn’t fully dog proof at the moment, they even had long lines to borrow which was great as we’d left ours at home. We’ll definitely be back for more sniffaris!Natalie W.

55Fab time as always! It was so lovely to be able to give my girls a big decompression walk before all the Christmas festivities. We had two very calm and content pups after. Thank you so much! Abi-Maisy C.

55Had a great time exploring the top paddock and looking forward to going in the bottom paddock as well next time. Our dog loved all the smells and fossicking in the bushes. Great hosts to deal with and will be returning again soon.Angela B.

55Absolutely awesome way to spend an hour. Fabulous place - the dogs loved the space and the sniffs (and the pond - top tip: take a towel). Annie was very friendly and helpful and we’ll definitely be back.Steve M.

55I've been to the sniffari several times and each time the dogs I've taken have had a blast. The host has made things easy and they are always making improvements to the area. If there is anything to be made aware of, the information has been provided up front. I love thay there have been long lines to borrow which is really handy if you haven't got one or have forgotten yours. They were even accommodating to us having a pet photo shoot there when my girl got on in age and I wanted a safe space in nature to have some nice photos taken. The sniffari was the perfect spot. I would highly recommend to most people to visit with their dogs. I would though say that you do still need to be able to keep control of youe dog as there can be stock in the neighbouring paddock, a possibility of seeing rabbits and ducks in the pond so any dogs who can't be controlled could get themselves into trouble but that's not the fault of the hosts. That's the nature of going to a paddock oasis. 🙂 Shelly T.

55It was our first time going into the lower paddock since it has reopened and the dogs loved it. Daiquiri turned into a little crocodile swimming in the swampy pond. Definitely recommend wearing gum boots for the lower paddock. Perfect spot for doing some gun dog retrieve practice. Thank you Annie for another wonderful visit. Abi-Maisy C.

55Excellent vist. The paddock is a wondeful way for us to evaluate how Gambits arthritis management regime is working. :) Both the boys had a wonderful time, the pond and the swamp were a hit. Dianna C.

55An excellent space that our two Huntaway crosses loved to bits! They had lots of fun, and got a great physical and sensory workout! The weather was awful but that didn’t dampen their energy levels at all. The 1st, upper area is fully fenced, and the vast majority of the lower section is too! Long lines available on site to borrow but we had our own, which we used in the lower area and then in the upper area we let them off to roam and tear about the place! Will definitely be back!Euan L.

55Such a great place to take our x2 dogs and let them run wild. They LOVED the pond and we loved being able to let them be dogs without worrying about other people/dogs being around. Can't believe we didn't know about this hidden gem before now! Will most definitely be back, our boys loved it. Abbe H.

FAQ about our Pakuranga 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 Pakuranga?
There are 5 dog fields in the Pakuranga area. The most popular dog field is 4 Acre Fenced Dog Heaven!. 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 Pakuranga area range from $15.0 and $15.0. The least expensive dog field is 4 Acre Fenced Dog Heaven!. The most expensive dog field is 4 Acre Fenced Dog Heaven!. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
