55Our 4 big dogs had a BLAST. The fencing was plenty secure for 2 German shepherds, a lab, and a shepherd Irish setter mix. They had 2 different kinds of treats and a water spout! Definitely will bring some toys next time! Alexis G.

55This was the perfect space for us! It is very cute and private. Our dogs had plenty of space to play fetch with the ball. They enjoyed taking breaks in the grass. I brought a bowl and it was nice to have water to fill it. We really loved this spot and will be back! Jennifer S.

55This property was so much fun! Our pup is a year and a half and has lots of energy. After 40 minutes running through the park and on the obstacles we could tell he was getting wore out! Great spot. Look forward to coming back again soon!Hilary H.

55First time booking a place like this for our pups and we were amazed with how beautiful and spacious the dog area was. My wife and I were extremely happy to have our pups there and not to mention that they were extremely happy there and didn’t want to leave and our 7 month old puppy was having a blast with the training obstacles that are there! We will definitely be back! Veronica M.

55I love this park, this is my third visit and my pup enjoys the plenty open space to run free, play fetch and sniff everything around. The park is clean, very well laid out with signs and is fenced. Has agility equipment for you to train with your pup. In addition, there is also a shaded place to sit for pet parents. We always have fun here! Claudia M.

55My dog Emerson always plans his time while visiting. He first sees/ sniffs who has been there while he has been gone and once that is done he loves the stumps and the incline equipment the best. He chases his ball with me and kicks up his heels in delight with the fun of being able to run free. Always a good time and a happy and tired boy.Sue W.

FAQ about our South Hill 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.
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 South Hill area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog field is 1/2 plus acre of fully fenced forest. The most expensive dog field is 1/2 plus acre of fully fenced forest. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
