55We have been meaning to book for such a long time and finally got round to it. It was so good being able to fully decompress with my dogs and not have to worry about anyone or rude dogs coming out of nowhere. Great for stock exposure too, my girls watched the horses, sheep and ducks in a safe environment and able to desensitise to them. Thank you so much. We will be making it a regular part of our girls routine Abi-Maisy C.

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.

55Second visit for our boys, 2 year old Hunterways. They had a fantastic time. Our experience from beginning to end of our visit is five stars. The top paddock area is absolutely wonderful. It is the only area we have usedso far. Our boys are a work in progress regarding recall. There are trees to play in, horses and sheep to watch at a distance. It is such a blessing to have such a wonderful place and to know that your dog/s are safe.Hilary J.

55Wow! All 3 dogs had such a lovely time, they could barely contain their joy. We spent a bit of time at the top paddock as there was just so much to explore. After 25-30 mins we went down to the bottom paddock and Nara went for a couple of swims in the pond. Her idea of bliss. Then headed up the other side to explore around the pine trees. We did not use the whole hour this time but will be back to explore some more. Highly Recommend!Francine H.

55Really pleased to have finally found a secure, safe place to let the doggies off leash.
There was lots of space to explore and so many new smells to decipher.
Thankyou so much to hosts Annie and Jonty for making our first visit easy.

55Maisie (greyhound) and friends love this place! A safe and beautiful country mix of open spaces to zoom around in, trees, bushes, a pond (to cool), and other nooks and crannies to explore. Have been twice and booked in again! Rachael H.

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.

55Wonderful host, who clearly explained the boundaries where our boys two year old Hunter ways (one with anxiety) could play. A very welled fence good size smaller area with trees and tree trunks and even dog toys to play with. We didn't use the much larger area that has fencing, but not as good as the smaller area that includes a duck pond and hills and trees to play around. Our boys had a fantastic time.Hilary J.

FAQ about our Pukekawa 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 Pukekawa?
There are 4 dog fields in the Pukekawa area. The most popular dog field is . 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 Pukekawa area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is Bitter Lake. The most expensive dog field is Bitter Lake. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
