55This is an amazing SniffSpot! A large property to explore with creek access, lots of shady areas and places to hang out. It’s not fully fenced so we had our good boy on a 100ft leash as he has bad recall, this didn’t hinder his experience at all! He absolutely loved it and even wandered into the water for the first time ever.
There were doggie bags and a trash bin supplied, bug spray and fetch toys.
We’ll definitely be back! Angela S.

55This is such a beautiful spot! While it’s not fully fenced in, it’s very easy to stay clear of the spot that is not fenced and the creek acts as a natural barrier. My dogs were exhausted after 30 minutes. Will definitely be returning soon.Ellen M.

55This property is beautiful and very peaceful. My dog loved sniffing everything and running around. The creek is great for water for pups to hydrate and cool down. Felt very secluded and safe. The bug spray was very helpful. Highly recommend this spot!Meghan M.

55Our dogs absolutely LOVED this oasis! They are totally exhausted after splashing around in the water and running wild around the field for an hour. The spot is well maintained and it’s easy to keep an eye on your dog from most spots. The creek creates a great natural barrier along the back and the spot is also divided by a little creek that you can use as a natural barrier if you want to keep your dog in a more “contained” area.
Chip provides a plethora of chuck-it’s with balls which were a great hit with my retriever as well.
We all left tired and muddy and so so happy - we will definitely be back!Emily P.

55Very easy location to find and to access. The lawn was huge and well kept. My dog LOVED running full speed in the yard, going to the creek, and sniffing every blade of grass! While I didn't go onto the Mill Creek greenway, this location is quite literally next to an entryway for those that want to do both the private yard and greenway. Julie L.

55We’ve been going to this sniff spot for about a year. It gets better and better. This is like a little slice of Heaven for me and my pups. It’s so clean and well maintained. Chip offers so many additional things to use while you’re there like chuck it’s and poop bags. There’s even bug spray at the picnic tables throughout the property. The creek is beautiful and my dogs love to swim in it. There’s no other sniff spot I’ve visited (in any state) that is better than this one. Kayla M.

55We enjoyed the beautiful weather and perfectly mowed yard on Saturday. The creek is low but Jack enjoyed taking water and wading breaks in between ball chasing. We got to meet Chip last weekend—great guy!Kelly G.

FAQ about our Castalian Springs 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 Castalian Springs area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is Big Back Yard/Nice deck to relax. The most expensive dog field is Big Back Yard/Nice deck to relax. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
