55This is a beautiful spot! Dale was very kind and helpful, and provided a map upon arrival. Highly recommend the pond - the dogs loved it and are still tired after exploring for just an hour. We'll be back!Samantha N.

55We had so much fun here. So much to see and do. Thor was obsessed with the pond and didn’t want to leave. A ton of wildlife and the map made it super easy to navigate the property. Can’t wait to be back!Kayleigh V.

55I brought my large 6 year old and my small 13 year old dogs to this amazing location and they had a ball. The pathways are clear enough for my old little guy to maneuver with ease but the length of the trails was prefect for my large younger dog to stretch her legs. They both found plenty to sniff and a splash in the creek didn’t leave them covered in mud due to the Sandy bottom. Definitely will visit again. Jasmine C.

55Dale was very accommodating and pleasant with a map of the land and some pointers. We enjoyed our time immensely and I left with a very tired but fulfilled pup. The spring fed pond was such a highlight! Also the wildlife was fun to see as well. I’d highly recommend, very clean and taken care of. Can’t wait to revisit. Jenn M.

55This was such a lovely spot to visit with our pup! Very friendly and helpful hosts (they even provided us with a map of the property, which was so helpful!), and a long trail for us to explore on. Lots of fun wildlife and smells for our pup to interact with, and we left with a very happy and tired pup :-)Taylor H.

55We had an absolute BLAST at this spot! The trails and property boundaries are clearly marked and defined, the property is clean and well maintained, and there are sooooo many opportunities for fun with your dogs! Even on a chilly December day, my dogs enjoyed the pond, which I did not expect of them. I left with two dirty dogs, which in my world is a good thing. We drove a touch over and hour to visit, and will absolutely do it again! Lindsay H.

55Dale was a great host. He came out to meet us and he even has fresh eggs. We strolled through his fields, enjoyed being out in nature. Just note that not all 68 acres are accessible. We enjoyed our Sniffspot at Dale’s and hope to return. Joyce I.

55Another amazing trip to this sniff spot! We have been dying to come back since the first time we went, and between the gorgeous weather and all the fun things to do, I was kicking myself for not booking an additional hour. The girls were so relaxed and carefree and it was so wonderful to see them enjoy themselves so much. Cannot wait to come back soon! Lindsay H.

55I’ve been too busy at work and when I recently took a Friday off, Dale’s property is where I went to escape for a while. What a lovely retreat from the world, so quiet and peaceful with a mix of features including water. Blue and I will definitely be back! Thank you for being warm and welcoming, Dale 😊🐶🐾Brenda O.

FAQ about our Paw Paw 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.
