55We had the best afternoon in Ryan’s sniffspot yard! Not only is it beautiful, but the layout makes perfect sense for people and dogs! The fence held in our big dogs without a problem, and even our five pound chihuahua couldn’t slip out. Ryan is an amazing host — the most accommodating and kind we’ve had the pleasure of meeting — and we were glad to have a chance to chat with him.
I can’t recommend this sniffspot enough and am excited for our next trip there! Justus J.

The yard is beautiful and well kept and the hosts have every little detail covered (from water for both you and your dog, to treats, to toys, to towels and life vests for the pool, and so much more). If you want a space with so many different options of things to do for your dog, this is the place to go…it really is a dog paradise! Heather H.

55Our dogs had the best time! Ryan was extremely helpful and informative leading up to the visit, and he and his wife gave us a very good run-down on the space when we arrived.
His fenced-in yard was enormous and our dogs had a blast running around. The yard was extremely well maintained and spacious. It was truly expansive, and very well-manicured (and no poops!).
We also used Ryan’s pool, which was great! He had a variety of life jackets available, which was really helpful (even though the ones we brought worked well enough). The stairs on the end were easy for our dogs to maneuver.
We also really liked the agility set up! Our dogs have been doing agility for a while and we were able to practice some drills by the weave poles, tunnels, jumps, plus an A-frame, ring and teeter. Truly impressive, and especially for a backyard agility setup — as good as an indoor dog facility.
Ryan has a ton of seating available for humans and has so many amenities. He has a gazebo, covered grill, indoor bathroom for guests, covered recliner rocking chairs, fire pit, and more that we are not remembering to write here.
We’re definitely planning to come back!

55This was our first Sniffspot experience and it couldn't have been better! Ryan is the best host - he was so nice, generous and gracious. The property is incredible - unbelievably clean, well-maintained and absolutely full of amazing activities and amenities for the doggos. Never mind the vastness of the lawn! Our GSP had so much running and swimming. Even our little pug did multiple laps around the property. They loved it so much they immediately fell asleep as soon as we got in the car. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!Jillian A.

FAQ about our McCullom Lake 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.
