55This was absolutely a perfect place for our pups to have an unforgettable day!! Maureen and her husband are accommodating beyond expectations. The pool was so pristine, we were almost reluctant to use it! The containment was superior leading to a worry free time for both of our dogs! There were toys at the ready & signage to make everything about our visit easy and a success!! We will be treating our pups to this experience again very soon! Susan D.

55They were understanding, helpful, and nice to talk to! Love that it's a flat-bottom salt pool and it's the perfect size for dogs! They have floats, toys, and a big shady umbrella over comfy lounge seats. The automatic gate is a huge bonus!J H.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience and it was amazing! The pups had a great time exploring the yard and the pool was fantastic. The property is well-secured and beautiful. 10/10 thank you so much for providing a wonderful space for our fur babies! Tressie N.

55This is such a completely fabulous spot for people and dogs alike. Maureen and her husband take great care of the pool area - it’s very clean with ample seating and shaded areas to enjoy. Plus there are tons of doggy toys and dog friendly floats! My border collie had an amazing time!! We’ll definitely be back. Cassie S.

55What an amazing spot!! Room for the dogs to run and sniff, plus a pool! Mack had a blast taking a doggy paddle in the pool, sniffing/running around the yard, then repeating the process😂 He’s already worn out and snoozing away just from a short while there. Although we live out of town, this spot is worth traveling back for!!Priscilla D.

55Remington loves to swim, unfortunately she gets sick at concord and loudon. We have a lake house in Norris but it's just too far for the every week swim. We enjoyed our time so much and so did Remi! They had toys, treats, and cleaning supplies so we could clean any hair up! I 1000% suggest taking your pup here! We will be back!!!!Chloe R.

55This is my second time here and I brought my daughter and son-in-law and their dog this time. What can I say It's just absolutely fabulous. Everything is immaculately clean, the dogs had everything that they could have possibly needed. So relaxing just to swim in a beautiful pool in a beautifully sculpted backyard. Can't wait to come back!Meredith C.

55We had a blast! I brought four of my dogs with me, and they had a wonderful time exploring and enjoying all of the new sniffs and smells. We all cooled off in the pool, which felt perfect. The hosts made sure we had everything we needed, including fresh cool water for our pups. We will definitely be back soon!Jessica R.

55Absolutely wonderful! I would give more stars if it would let me. Amazing host, amazing grounds. I think I enjoyed it as much as my 110lb Labrador did. Will absolutely make this a regular thing. Michael C.

55Super amazing spot & vibes. My dog doesn’t really do well with other dogs and is anxious around strangers so the privacy was exactly what we needed. The pool is super nice & we went on a hot day so swimming w my boy is a great memory we have now. Security/fencing was spot on as well, he is a perimeter checking goofball so he walked the whole fence line to check it out. We will definitely be back!Miranda W.

55Fantastic experience! Took our dog a little time to figure out using the steps, she’s used to running down a ramp at the lake and jumping in — but once she did, she loved it and didn’t want to stop swimming and retrieving things! Lots of fun toys, comfortable chairs, anything you could think of — Maureen is an awesome SniffSpot host!Beth G.

FAQ about our Knoxville 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.
