55My dog and his friend had the best time! The fencing was very secure for my escape artist Australian shepherd cross. So nice to let the pups roam and play without worry. So much space, lots of great stuff to sniff including forested area. Will definitely be back, thank you!! Rachel A.

55Clean, dry, bright and open. Great spot for our 20lb dog to run fast, catch a ball, or just roam freely. There’s a small forested area which allowed us to play some hide-and-seek. Owners kindly had two chairs and doggy water available. Will definitely book again. Cathy C.

55Great location! The field was interesting to explore, there was a forested area and a larger, open field. We played some fun games of hide and seek with the ball, wandered around and explored and just sat back and relaxed. There are chairs for sitting and a beautiful view into the valley. Jill K.

55Perfect place for our reactive dogs- it was so nice to have them off leash and no worry about them running into another dog, cat or animal. Very large field with full fence and lots of room to run, fetch and sniff. Loved the place and will definitely be back. Emma A.

55This is a wonderful property that has a great field for the dogs to run and play. There is even a little forested area in the back with a tiny trail. The host has been great about communicating details on how to use the property- it is a working farm so you can expect to see farm workers etc. The neighbouring property has a dog kennel, where we could hear them barking but never saw them. Loved this property to take our reactive dogs off leash for them to have a good run! Kirsten H.

55We had a wonderful time. I wasn’t sure where the field was initially -> it is in the back behind the round steel structure. The field is big and very peaceful. My dog reactive dog ran her heart out and ate her weight in grass. Thank you for letting us play in your field. We’ll be back. :)Sarah C.

55The field was clean, flat, safe and fully fenced. There is a strand of barbed wire along the top of the 5ft fence but not an issue for normal play within the field. Dogs did bark from the kennel on the adjacent property as owner mentioned in the description but not a problem and well separated by two fences.Phillip R.

55Wow - what a relief to be in a spot where the dogs were free to roam without worrying about encountering other people/dogs, leash laws, goose poop… we all had an excellent hour of chilling out letting the dogs just be dogs.Carol S.

55This is an amazing field outlet for our two dogs, one of them being reactive. Large field for them to run, chase the ball, roll in the grass and explore the fenced property. They know they're going to their happy place once we turn onto Island View Road. Thanks, Megan, from 2 happy goldens and 2 grateful humans. Carol B.

55We used this Sniffspot to introduce our newly adopted 11 year old coonhound to our two dogs. It was a safe place to allow the dogs freedom to move around each other and have no other distractions. Thank you for hosting us. Tricia Z.

55We had an amazing time at Megans sniffspot! Perfect for dogs that aren’t the best in off leash dog parks! My boy Gus can be a bit reactive when close to other dogs but this place was perfect for him! He didn’t mind the other dogs that can be seen & heard at the kennel next door. My girl Daisy and him loved running around the big field and exploring the forest trail together. Absolutely would recommend!Ashley E.

FAQ about our Saanichton 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 Saanichton?
There are 20 dog fields in the Saanichton area. The most popular dog field is Wind Ridge Farm Field. 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 Saanichton area range from $12.0 and $12.0. The least expensive dog field is Wind Ridge Farm Field. The most expensive dog field is Wind Ridge Farm Field. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
