55Such a wonderful spot! It was great to have a place so big yet still fully fenced in for my dog and his friends to run around freely. Will definitely be coming back!! Lillian L.

55This place is amazing! There are loads of places to sniff, several different textures of walking path (gravel, dirt, grass, rocks), and not to mention the pond.
This was our first time actually going off leash and I was concerned for a few reasons; however, I felt so much better once I got there and noticed that I could see the entire place (and in theory, her) wherever I stood. There are a few outbuildings, so she did manage to sneak away, but always waited for me to appear.
David came out to talk for a few minutes and he was very friendly and welcoming. I loved the set up near the parking that had dog treats, toys, and water.
Overall, this is definitely a top spot for both of us and I know we’ll be back again and again. Stacee E.

55What a beautiful yard! Just a gorgeous, unique place. My dog loved climbing on the boulders and running around the space. It was a nice big space for playing. To get down to the yard, you do pass by a chicken coop, as the owner mentions in the listing. That part is not fenced off from the rest of the yard. So if your doggie is chicken obsessed they will have a great time returning to the coop to stare at the chickens. 😂. It is just a bit steep to get to the bottom of the yard. There was plenty of water and a bucket of dog toys. The owner was very communicative which I loved. Kelly D.

55I've been to many sniffspots over the past 2 years, and so far this is my favorite. As the guardian of a scent hound who I suspect is part mountain goat, I'm always looking for places she can safely play and explore off leash. This is a large sloping yard with varying terrain and boulders similar to what one would find out in nature. There are a couple of flat runs that your dog could play fetch. My dog likes to chase the ball but does not do repetitive fetching, so the slope was perfect to chase the bouncing ball downhill.
We had a great time playing "find me" and just racing and sniffing around exploring, natural activities for a scent hound & good for her brain.
There are very well-fenced chickens on the way in that my hound all but ignored after a reward to "leave it."
Host was friendly and communicative, there was a fresh water bowl out and a bucket with a trash liner I'm hoping was for poopy bags.
Not overpriced, a good value to have fun & exercise my girl - we will definitely be back. Michele S.

55Beautiful views and property with lots of space for our dog to run and sniff. A couple of lovely chickens (safely secured from dogs) will greet you on your way in and the entire acre is fenced. Was a lovely experience and we will visit again!Cas L.

55We had a good time here! Since we rescued our pup a little over a year ago, I’ve been nervous to let him off leash anywhere but parks and dog parks. I wanted to see how he does off leash in a new environment (similar to what we’ll explore hiking or camping in the future). This spot was great for that! Lots of rocks, slopes, lizards, and pokey plants to stay away from. We were able to use the yard for what we needed and unfortunately had to leave early because our pup doesn’t listen and wanted to be on the left side (where the toxic plants are). We have lots of work to do with his listening skills! Thanks for having us Katie. Tawni W.

55Such an amazing yard. Lots of variety (hills, boulders, vegetation), dogs loved running around. Water bowls provided, extra water was very helpful given the amount of running around our dogs did. Cactus had all thorns removed.Fabian N.

55Such a cool spot! The yard is a little steep, so keep that in mind and wear appropriate shoes. The yard had a bunch of places for you to sit while the pups explore. My dogs loved climbing the boulders. There were bowls and water for the dogs, bag of toys, poop bags and a trash bucket. Everything you could need and more! Truly a great 1 st experience. We will be back!Michelle J.

55This was my first time using Sniffspot. Courage is dog-reactive, so I was concerned about secure fencing, neighbors with pups, and safety. Katie was a fabulous host. Her description and photos of the property and neighborhood were spot on. Courage got to frolick free for the first time, we unintentionally got to practice recall and have a fabulous ending to our 1 year anniversary together. I plan on coming again and an extremely grateful to the host for sharing her land with us.Monika D.

55Hank had a great time sniffing alllll da sniffs! It was a little warm out so he really enjoyed rolling around in the ice-plant. He did go back to the top to check on the chickens (fully fenced in their own area) a couple times but it was clear they are used to dogs so he was able to disengage quickly and head back down the hill for more sniffs. We had a great time and plan to be back!Kate G.

55This is such a wonderful and unique Sniffspot. Our pup LOVED it. There is so much to explore, and so many different things and surfaces to sniff and play around in. She rolled, she climbed on boulders, she sniffed every shrub, and had a blast. There is a bucket with toys, which is really thoughtful. There are places to sit and watch your pup throughout the yard at different locations with water bowls and containers with water, which was great. We booked the spot for 90 minutes and they went by really fast! Sometimes you get to a spot and after 20 minutes, you've seen everything and have problems entertaining your pup the rest of the time. Not here! We highly recommend this spot, it is really great fun and Katie, the owner, is super nice. (Also, we have a long line on Quinnie in the photos but you really don't need one, the yard is secure. We should just have taken it off) Sandra V.

FAQ about our Downey 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 Downey area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog field is Fully Fenced Whittier Heights Yard. The most expensive dog field is Fully Fenced Whittier Heights Yard. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
