55Selfishly, I almost don't even want to share how awesome this place was! I also don't think I've ever written a review this quickly for anything ever. My city dogs are WIPED. We will be back & often!Hailey T.

55Wide open spaces indeed! No better place to let your dogs run and roam. And the ponds are so cool! My Rottie and Golden had a blast. Sound asleep before we even exited the driveway. Definitely be back :) Kate B.

55I absolutely love this place it's Big, massive, wide. I think 1.5 hours is the sweet spot and the right amount if you want to really get in there and enjoy it. No dogs, no humans, no other distraction except some geese and swans. So much time for a dog to run. This is a really great place. I didn't have to worry about anything - I was not worried any at all and it gave us a piece of mind. My reactive dog who has Separation anxiety for the first time actually took a real Nap in the car after the trip going home. Thank you so much for sharing a piece of your property!!! God bless you!Sasha S.

55This is a super fun place to bring the dogs for an off leash adventure and training. There were geese in the water, so it's important to note that and ensure dogs are prevented from hazing or chasing wildlife. Mando and Joule love it here!Jamie S.

55Beautiful spot! We saw 4 deer running by and many birds. The drive is a little muddy but is completely passable even in a smaller car. The ponds are easy to see and relatively easy to avoid. For us it was a welcomed test of recall. The directions provided are extremely clear, and the spot is easy to find. We’re coming from N Minneapolis and it’s a beautiful drive, a few pastures with horses out on our way home. Thanks for sharing your space! I have one happy puppy. Kayla & Marlin S.

55Doggy paradise! My two dogs and I had a blast here. The property was huge and well maintained. The ponds were a plus—my dogs went for a swim on this beautiful Spring afternoon with the weather at 80F. It was nice having the whole property for myself and my dogs to just run to their hearts content. A bit of a trip from Twin Cities but I’ll definitely return. I highly recommend.Nouk Y.

55Such a great property. My two dogs really enjoyed the run in the large open field. No other dogs or people around. It’s not fenced but because it’s so big, we had no issues at all with our two GDDs off leash and play. And the sunset is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful property with us. We will be back! Jun Z.

FAQ about our Waverly 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.
