55We had such a great time at Luke’s place that we went twice in one week! This spot is large, open, and flat with plenty of room for the dogs to run. We appreciated the variety of toys offered by Luke, the fresh drinking water for the pups, and the picnic table to sit at. Not to mention, the surroundings were beautiful! We would definitely love to return to this awesome spot! Kiersten P.

55Securely fenced area, huge amount of open space, big bucket of toys, and bags/bin to help pick up after the dogs. It was a perfect place for a play date!Kaitlyn B.

55This was our first time using a sniff spot, this place exceeded any expectations we could have had, well maintained, chairs, a picnic table, toys, water, and anything you would need to clean up after your pet. Our doggies had an amazing time, we will certainly be returning! Amber J.

55This is a game changer for us. Exercising reactive dogs is challenging…and often discouraging (particularly when you live in a community with lots of seasonal residents). Having a safe place for my dogs to zoom and play and work on training is ah-mazing. This property is big and secure and so much fun. And we’re all super grateful it’s so close to home.Wendy D.

55We love this place! The fresh water from the hose was well received, and the cornhole set was a fun addition for the dog parents to entertain themselves with while the doggies played. We will be back soon!Allie F.

55A great spot not too far from home. It was a bit too hot for our old girls, but there was a nice little shady area for them to relax untethered and there was plenty of water available. Erin L.

55Cooper and gizmo loved it! They took off immediately, and had so many zoomies! The area was very cute and easy to use, with plenty of toys and access to a hose. My dogs even tried out the hurdle! Christina A.

55The Sniffspot raised the bar on my expectations for great Sniffspot. There is a nice shaded picnic bench for humans to sit at while dogs run around. The small agility course was of no interest to my dog, but she enjoyed the view and chasing her ball endlessly. There were plenty of toys and filled water bowls as well as a large trash can, hand sanitizer and available poop bags. We will definitely be back. Simon S.

FAQ about our South Hero 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 South Hero?
There are 10 dog fields in the South Hero area. The most popular dog field is Island Oasis Private Dog Park. 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 South Hero area range from $ and $. The least expensive dog field is . The most expensive dog field is . Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
