55This was our first visit and definitely won't be our last! The coordinates led us straight to the gate to get in. We were able to drive to the gate to the fenced area with the problem. My dogs had the time of their lives. We did see the neighbor dogs, but they caused no problems for us. Thank you for offering your space for others. Sarah J.

55Such a great spot! Truly feels so private. We loved walking the perimeter and my dog loved chasing his ball. It was nice to know that it was all fenced in so my guy could go as far as he wanted without me having to worry! Brianna H.

55This was the best sniffspot! Our dogs spent their birthday here and it was very easy to get to with the instructions. We laid in the comfy hammocks while they played! There were full water jugs, tennis balls and other toys available. We even heard a rooster! It was so peaceful and safe for our reactive pups to enjoy some playtime. We will definitely be back!!

55WOW! So happy we went! It was so worth the 40 minute drive. Everything was perfect. It was much easier to navigate than I thought. Using the GPS coordinates brings you right to the gate. Signs are posted and directions are very clear. I was reluctant to go because ticks are out but the area was well maintained and mowed. There were a few areas of tall grass which our guy loved romping and running through. The size makes a great area to practice off leash training and recall. We will be back!Kent W.

55Perfect and exactly as described. We have young, reactive dogs and this was a great fully fenced spot to run their energy out. It is a beautiful spot to spend the morning and the boys loved the creek to jump in right outside the fenced area. I will definitely use this spot again.Deidra A.

55We loved this place! I have not seen my dogs happier, even my lazy great dane enjoyed checking out all the places he could! They have really taken time and put thought into this spot. It would be a great place to get photos with your dogs because there's so many very pretty spots. We spent our time enjoying a picnic I packed and watching the dogs explore and run. We drove 40 minutes from Murfreesboro to get here and it was absolutely worth it! Amy H.

55We LOVE our weekly visits. The exercise and sniffing for the dogs is amazing. The humans love the suburban detox of nature.
The creek to cool off in, for the dogs, is an added bonus.
The overgrown areas, full of wildflowers, with mowed paths throughout was a wonderful surprise.

FAQ about our Chapel 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 Chapel Hill area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog field is Friendly yard near Lincoln Park. The most expensive dog field is Friendly yard near Lincoln Park. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
