55This was our first time using Sniffspot and we were unsure of how it would go, but a quick message to the host and we were well on our way! The location is just as scenic as it's described and looks just like the photos. It is hilly with tall grass which adds to the aesthetics. But, I'm glad we wore our hiking boots. Our dog had a great time exploring. We also loved the big oak tree as it provided a nice shade for us to sit and relax. Overall and it did not disappoint! G V.

55This is such a relaxing little chunk of land. I brought my 20 ft lead, I wouldn’t trust my dog off leash here. One side backs up to the road and the rest is surrounded by the river. There are some inclines and uneven spots but an easy walk overall! My pup had so much fun exploring everything. Impressed it wasn’t that muddy considering all the recent snow melting. I’ll definitely be back! ❤️Alyssa B.

55Another awesome adventure in the books! My pup loved exploring the water and making her way through the bushes and trees. Can’t wait to go back! Could hear some dog barking in the distance and a few neighbors walking past on the road but they were not directly in our line of sight. Lots of birds, dragonflies, and we even saw a swan! Alyssa B.

55We had a lovely time exploring this spot. It was really quiet and peaceful for the most part. My dog had a great time and did get a chance to jump in the water since it was quite warm today. I would love to come back and bring Georgie's best doggy friend to enjoy this. The spot was clean and just slightly smaller than I expected but still great overall. We did hear dogs barking in the distance and did see a few people walking on the road but you can only see them at certain sections of the sniffspot. My dog is reactive to strangers so I was a bit worried but I kept her on a long leash and had control if I needed to redirect her. The only real concern I had was when we were getting ready to leave, another truck drove by really slowly and stared at us. I did read another review that stated a neighbor had appeared at the location to see why they were parked there. I've been to other locations that did have a Sniffspot sign posted- maybe that would deter neighbors from approaching others in the future? Michele C.

55Beautiful spot to run, swim in the creek and get muddy. We had a really great time. We saw A fair amount of waterfowl. Bring a long line if your dogs recall isn’t great because one side of the property is right next to a dirt road and not fully fenced in with a tree line barrier. We went on a Sunday at noon and only saw 2 cars drive by though. It is quiet and peaceful with lots of nature sounds. Worth the 40 min drive from Detroit.Bridget T.

FAQ about our South Lyon 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 Lyon?
There are 70 dog fields in the South Lyon area. The most popular dog field is 2 Bark 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.
