55If I could give this spot 12/10 I would. Rick was super nice and did reach out morning of to let me know that there was maintenance being done on the pond in case I wanted to reschedule. I went anyway and I’m glad I did. This was my first ever time using the app and now I’m afraid no other place will compare lol. He had a bin of toys, towels, map of her property, treats, bug spray, etc. His property not only has the pond but also creeks that run throughout, and my swamp dogs loved that. Right where you park is also a hose to spray them down after their adventures. I went from living on 5 acres in Colorado to moving to Maryland in a tiny apartment. This for sure makes up for the lack of space for my dogs. Ginger O.

55Just a perfect place for your dog(s). I brought my two GSD and three teenagers with me, everyone had fun! Next time we will pack a lunch to enjoy on the dock :)
Bring a scent proof bag to carry used poop bags back to the parking area. Wear shoes with good grip, it can get a little muddy near the lake.
The dogs didn’t want to leave the lake so we didn’t hike as much as we would’ve liked, guess we’ll just have to come back!Christen P.

55The host met us right away since it was our first time there. He gave us a map of the property and assured us the pond was tested, and is safe for animals (no blue green algae). It's a beautiful setting, with plenty of room to explore. My lab LOVES the water, and since we've moved, she hasn't been able to play off lead in the water like she used to. She had so much fun fetching toys out of the water, and even did some dock diving! There was a hose available for hosing her off afterwards, and towels to dry off. There was drinking water, toys, chairs by the pond, and bug spray. It was really fun, and we'll definitely go again. Thanks Rick! I only have videos but I can't post them :(Elizabeth C.

55Rick met us right on time and gave us a map of the property. We really enjoyed the privacy of the pond and trails! Our little guy swam for the first time ever and had a blast retrieving sticks. The hose to wash up after was very much appreciated! We will absolutely be back!Ann S.

55It is perfect for Nestle’! Exactly what he needs. The farm owner supplied hose & towels to clean up afterwards (needed after pond splash,) bug spray and fresh water at 2 sites. Dogs need to stay on the designated 30 acres at all times.
Rick met me with a map, orientation discussion, treats for Nestle’ and a pleasant chat before I headed out.
Cell phone tracking for your pet is not going to work around here. I'm looking for another tracking platform. My Sport Dog ecollar is line of sight up to 300 yards and it worked perfectly for recall when whistle and verbal were not responded to quickly enough.Jeanne W.

55This was the perfect spot for my one year-old Frenchie Pointer and my brother’s eight month old Bernese Mountain dog. They enjoyed the pond and just running around like crazy! Rick is a gracious host. He has everything that you could need. Toys, towels, water, bug spray, a little pavilion with chairs and shade, and a washing station so you can rinse your dog off on your way out.  I can’t wait to return! And, more importantly, Cinders and Loki can’t wait!Barbara B.

55My lab had a great time doing his favorite activity… swimming! Host David was very welcoming and even had toys, towels, treats and bug spray. Everything you could think of to have a great time. His property is beautiful and he insured me that the water is tested and safe for swimming. We will definitely be back! Emily H.

55This is my second visit and I was able to explore more fields and get a better orientation of the greater surrounding area. I am even more comfortable with the distances from main roads. The creek was running well beside the long driveway after the rains which made that section nice to walk as well.Jeanne W.

FAQ about our Boonsboro 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 Boonsboro area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is Woods River and Fields. The most expensive dog field is Woods River and Fields. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
