55This was a great spot! We will definitely be back. This was probably my dog’s favorite sniff spot we have visited so far. There is tons of room to run, play and explore. Everything is fully fenced in so you can enjoy this worry free. We did see the neighboring dogs on the other side of the fence but they were completely separate from us, just be aware if your dog might not like that. Kelsey W.

55This was our first visit to a sniff spot locale. Our two had a great time zooming around and checking out the new smells and area. The fencing was great so we didn’t have to worry about them wandering too far. Great space. Only draw back was that there were several areas of dog waste that weren’t picked up but it was such a big yard it wasn’t really a problem I just bagged it and put it in the barrel so my two wouldn’t get too interested. Overall a great time.Laura H.

55This is probably my favorite spot I've taken my dogs, it has a little bit of everything you could want, woods, fields, and plenty to investigate. Even 45 minutes into our visit we were finding new areas we hadn't touched yet. Cal G.

55My dogs had a blast! Ran for 40 minutes. The yard is fully fenced; my dogs checked very carefully. I was worried at first, but they couldn’t escape. Brandy J.

55This is a really fun spot for pups - my two loved it. It's especially nice to have such varied terrain of open areas and woods so my dogs didn't get bored and could have stayed all day. There are dogs in the house that barked a little when mine got close to the house but weren't a problem at all. There are also beautiful chickens near the parking area, but separate from where the dogs will be. Highly recommend!Lisa L.

55My energetic GSD was in heaven running free and playing with her toys. Also, she was mesmerized by the chickens. I met the host briefly- super friendly and accommodating. Mary M.

55My girls had an amazing time! They loved exploring the wooded area, and sniffing all around. This spot is fantastic and has something for every type of dog. And I loved having the peace of mind that they could roam around off leash safely, and just be dogs. We definitely will be going back!! Je M.

55Huge space. My dog loved it! One thing to note is the neighbor dog aggressively barked and ran along a portion of the fence the entire time we were there. My dog didn’t seem too bothered by it and we were able to get further away since the space was so large. Obviously not any fault of the host’s- just wanted to point it out in case anyone has dogs that would be bothered or triggered by this. Great spot, clean, will definitely be back! Jessica L.

55What a great space! Lots of different areas to explore and felt great about the fence. There were other dogs visible and barking while we were there, so just be aware in case that’s an issue for your pup. Lisa H.

55Such a beautiful spot! My dogs really loved exploring and playing fetch in this giant space. As mentioned previously, there are dogs next door that share a fence and are reactive - my dogs did run right over there but we had long lines attached so managing them wasn’t too tricky. Overall, pups and people had a blast! Alex B.

FAQ about our Norfolk 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.
How can I find dog fields in Norfolk?
There are 44 dog fields in the Norfolk area. The most popular dog field is 2.5 acres of Doggy Heaven!. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
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 Norfolk 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.
