55Amy the host drove by when we first got there and was super. Made sure we had everything and definitely made us feel welcome. Sides to the pond are pretty steep in some parts so good recall on your dog is a must. And I would anticipate where you would be throwing a ball or stick.
Brought a bungee ball and let loose. My dog had a blast. Will definitely book again. Foxtails are present so be sure to check your pups paws after the visit and watch for excessive sneezing. Gracie W.

55Will be back! We came end of October, but I think it would be a really cool spot in Summer. My Blue Heeler and my daughter both enjoyed running a muck and playing fetch. Fun place to explore. Will be back ❤️Karli K.

55The pond/lake was amazing! had lots of rocks by the shore so not a place to be barefooted. We saw lots of wild life including fish and salamanders in the pond/lake. In the surrounding field we saw a sizeable gopher snake so we stuck near the water to avoid them.Kindred R.

55Nice huge area. Very easy to find. There’s a large swimming area, there are two places to get down that are not steep. I wore sandals, next time I would wear tennis shoes or hiking boots. The dogs loved it and were exhausted.Pam C.

55We had a fantastic time here, and will definitely be back! My Labrador absolutely LOVED the pond, and rolling in the grass to dry off. The dogs enjoyed running freely and getting some energy out. I noticed there were some sticky grass seeds, so check paws and fur when you leave/get home! Overall a fantastic, secluded spot that the dogs loved!Anna M.

55Absolutely beautiful slice of heaven! There were multiple spots to get down to the water around the pond, though It is quiet the drop off for your pups once they walk in the water a couple feet. I took my daughter and two dogs before sunset, walked around the field picking blackberries and listening to the crickets while the dogs enjoyed the free range until the sun went down. The grass was a bit tall (bottom of knees) and really dry (sticky balls all over your clothes!) so I recommend wearing some sort of taller boot and pants. We’ll definitely be back to enjoy this space! Nicole C.

55This was an awesome place! We missed the Sniffspot gate on our way in, but were kindly redirected by the owner. The field is nice and open, but as such, there isn't really shade, so if you're sun sensitive, be aware. I'd also recommend wearing long pants and closed shoes because there's lots of burrs and thistles. It's not terrible if you're in shorts and flip flops (as I was), just be prepared to get poked a bit ;) That all being said, this was an amazing place, the owners were super chill, and we will definitely be back to explore the other field!Melissa M.

55Wonderful area with tons of land to play and run with your dog! It's a bit overgrown right now (which my dog loved) so I would definitely recommend wearing boots and full length jeans to avoid any scrapes or irritation.Ashley K.

55Amazing! Super cool space to let your dogs run. Pretty secluded, and does have a lot of stickers. Was really easy to just stand back and let my two dogs chase each other and get their energy outDorothy W.

55My German Shepherd mix and I enjoyed our first visit! Because we're still working on recall, I used a 50ft leash. It was just us, which was relaxing. We're also working on reactivity to other dogs, so it was a nice break from that worry. We only explored part of the acreage. We'll discover more next time! Thanks to Hidden Lake Ranch and Sniffspot for giving us a place to roam!B B.

55This was our first SniffSpot experience so we weren’t quite sure what to expect. There’s a lot of area to explore! The pond was fun and a good spot to cool off. The trail down turns to rock, so be sure you have good shoes on and your dog is ok on unstable terrain. The pasture/field was huge! We only explored part of the property, but my dog loved it. The grass is tall and there are a lot of prickly stickers, so definitely wear long pants and check your dog’s fur after your visit. I have a reactive dog, so having a place to run around safely and explore was a ton of fun! Note that the freeway traffic is clearly audible. There was also what sounded like skeet shooting nearby, and that startled my dog a few times. Overall a pleasant first experience and I have one tired dog now!Sara C.

55Really incredible property. The swimming hole is the best! Wear boots and check your dog over for foxtails when you leave. Boundary was a little vague but Amy responded quickly to my questions and then everything was clear. We had a great time and will definitely be back!! Thank you for sharing your property!!Kim K.

55Another fantastic morning here! Nox, the Labrador, really enjoys the space to run and play fetch. She's a crazy puppy, so being able to swim and run freely really wears her out! We love stopping by this spot, it's so beautiful and peaceful. Really nice to be able to let the pup run around without worry of other dogs running up on her. Anna M.

FAQ about our Scio 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 Scio?
There are 45 dog fields in the Scio area. The most popular dog field is Abby's Private Dog Park In Scio. 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 Scio area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is Run Free @ The Airport. The most expensive dog field is Run Free @ The Airport. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
