55I cannot express how lovely this spot is. So easy to find, gorgeous land, secure fencing, and just overall an amazing time for my little guy. We gave Ellen a heads up that our dog was more reactive and she made sure her dogs were away for our hour so he could run in peace. We will absolutely be back to enjoy some quiet time in the country Autumn S.

55My pups had a blast. The area is exactly as described. Fully fenced and pretty private. Plenty of room for the pups to explore, sniff and play long distance fetch. Will definitely book mark Ellen’s place for more outings. Jen J.

55This Sniffspot is a perfect mix of forest and open field, much of which is on a fairly steep hill, creating a perfect opportunity to wear your dog out! My dog is extremely sensitive to noise, and there was someone working with heavy machinery near the spot for the first 30 minutes or so of our visit, so this was perhaps not the best spot for us. But most dogs probably would love this spot! Sara E.

55This was a paradise for our 3 yr old, highly energetic escape artist and her 12 yr old lab brother. We were finally able to take her “out” without fear of escape while she ran laps around the property at full sprints. It was a real treat to have a relaxing walk without all the anxious barking. We will visit often. 🥰
Fun facts: Easy to find with clear directions and signs, fully fenced, secluded, 3 acres of rolling grass and lots of trees to make walking around fun and refreshing. Yes, if it’s rained you’ll want to bring your NW shoes.
I really appreciate the garbage can for easy disposal of waste.
There was a dog visible at the house (approx 100 yards from the fence) however it didn’t bark react to our prevents; our typically reactive dog didn’t pay it any attention.
Well worth the drive! Tricia B.

55My dogs and I had a great time at this spot! They have a lot of energy and had plenty of room to race around and play. It was clean, securely fenced and as presented. Communication with the host was exceptional. I loved the fact that we could park inside the gate making it secure and easy to load and unload my big dogs. We will be back to this spot!Wendy K.

55Easy to access to the spot. Feel like we are at mini forest. My two GSDs sniffed and run around all over the place. Very quiet neighborhood and I didn't see any animals and humans when we were there. I saw some poops were left. I understand that it's not easy to pick all poops up. But, no one wants to step on them... overall we will be back for sure!!Akane M.

55Fun, beautiful, spacious and well-kept spot! Instructions from the host for access and parking were clear, and signage made parking and entrance easy. My dog appreciated the variety of terrain - field, trees, hill - and I appreciated the garbage can for poop! Will definitely be back.Kei T.

55We had a great time here! My two German shepherds are absolutely exhausted right now, plenty of room to throw a ball FAR! It is a big area and I only saw one pile of poo on the ground which shows that they take great care of the place. We will definitely be back!Tara K.

FAQ about our West Kelowna 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.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the West Kelowna area range from $5.0 and $5.0. The least expensive dog field is Heron's Creek in Maltby. The most expensive dog field is Heron's Creek in Maltby. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
