55Great swimming hole for your pooches...and Shayla's cows are used to dogs so it's a friendly intro if your dogs have never been around cows before. Be warned that it's tick season so be sure to take appropriate measures, and land is mostly agricultural pasture with no trail so wear appropriate shoes/clothing to walk through low grass. Thank you Shayla...and enjoy!!Ann H.

55Our boys had the best time running all over the property and swimming in the lake. It was a great time for our herding dogs. Everyone left tired and very happy. Karla M.

55We took a small 6 month puppy, a standard poodle and a Welshie. They had the time of their lives and got super stinky by rolling in cow patties and all sorts of amazing gross things. Plus they all got in the lake. The humans needed to roll the car windows down on the ride home. It was a great adventure. We came back with a few ticks but that was to be expected. Everyone was really friendly and nice. My friend got lost by missing the mailbox, but I found it easily. Our new favorite spot!Lynnette S.

55Antoni’s property was amazing! Bella, our chocolate lab, had a blast! There was so much space for her to roam and explore. Antoni’s instructions were very clear and he had a spot for us to fill her water and deposit her poop bag. Bella’s new adventure was a success! I would highly recommend his property! Carole L.

55Great place with hills and a pond for the dog to get nice and messy in. There’s a dog run for a safe game of frisbee, and dog drinking water on site. Very secure! Janet L.

55We loved this spot! It was clean and well maintained, plenty of spots to dump dog poop bags.
The property is big enough that if a dog in the group needs more space there is room to allow everyone to have fun at their own pace. We will be back!!Jane A.

55I have just visited Antoni's sniff spot in Petaluma one time - specifically to check it out before I brought my dog. Antoni was very responsive prior to the visit. He answered my messages right away, and was there to meet me when I arrived. He walked me around his 5 acre spot - and answered all of my many questions. Next - Bring my dog Olivia to Antoni's spot! Thank you, Antoni for making yourself available!Olivia C.

55Wow! Dog wonderland! Huge space, fully enclosed. Natural beauty as far as the eye could see for the humans. If your dog likes to swim, bring a towel. There is a small, natural pond and our girl was in it as soon as she found it. We had no idea she loved water so much.
Great area to picnic for the family. Just amazing! Jennifer D.

55We always enjoy visiting this spot. Last time we went in October, so it hadn’t occurred to us that in winter there would be a small pond! We kept the dogs out of it, but I’m sure they would’ve had a blast getting muddy. The area is nicely maintained with lots of fun options for the doggos. Darryl T.

FAQ about our Alameda 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 Alameda?
There are 26 dog fields in the Alameda area. The most popular dog field is Pond and 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 Alameda area range from $10.0 and $10.0. The least expensive dog field is Wild Timber Land. The most expensive dog field is Wild Timber Land. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
