55Grace was a super friendly host and the property was very cool! I appreciate how much variety there is to the land - benches, small hiking trails, meadows & creeks/ponds. My pup had a blast and so did I :-) A dog’s paradise and a place for people
to relax. 🙂 I would go back. Natasha F.

55As always our trip was fantastic. My dog absolutely lives running around here and splashing around in the small creek . We will continue coming back !Aly S.

55Our dog has never been happier. She sniffed and ran and played ball and then explored some more. There was a wonderful creek, trails through the woods, benches to sit on and soak in the peaceful surroundings. We booked the spot for two hours and were so glad we did. Our host was gracious and welcoming.Sol R.

55This place was amazing! The property is gorgeous. It’s a great place to train a new dog offleash because there’s a lot of distracting smells. My dog was extremely interested in the goats (they are safely in their own enclosure) so we had some trouble staying focused but it’s great practice! Thank you Gracie.Sophie D.

55Grace was the nicest most welcoming host. She pointed us in the right direction and left us to enjoy the time.
The land is beautiful. A nice hill to get a little workout and lots of open spaces to run when you get up top. Plenty of benches and tables to rest and enjoy the peace.
There were goats and a horse safely away in their shelter and easily avoided as they are before the start of the area you will be using. They are adorable and so patient as Niko saw them and barked. Didn’t see or hear any people or other animals at all-
There’s we a super pretty water area when you first start the trail that is perfect for a little splashing around.
Basically- it’s like your own private hike in the woods for a few great hours. Thank you Grace! Danielle W.

55We had a wonderful time with our dogs at Grace’s wooded slice of paradise. There was a ton of space for our dogs to run and we appreciated the varied terrain. There are trails through the property and the whole are is fenced in nicely. One of our dogs escaped under the entry gate so perhaps a small gate extension could be a suggested improvement but the gate just led to a fenced backyard so it was no trouble that the dog went under the gate once. Loved the creek for romping and water play. Thanks for allowing us to play and run!Elizabeth R.

55What a fabulous Sniffspot!!! Doogie, Thomas and I had such a great time here! It's a wonderful forest with old growth stumps that new trees have grown out of, a nice creek and numerous trails to wander. It is nicely maintained. My boys got to meet their first goats and a horse (they are in an adjoining pasture) and thought that was pretty cool. The goats came right up to the fence to say hi. Doogie is a new rescue (in our family for 2 months), so I can't let him hike in open spaces off-leash yet, and I am keeping him on his longline for a few more outings, but this wonderful, forested place with numerous trail options gives me the chance to safely test out how he's doing and give him freedom. He is doing so good, that hopefully he can be off the longline on our next visit.
Grace, the owner, is very nice! There was a welcome sign and poop bags for us to use. Since it was our first time, she welcomed us, pointed out where to go and checked in with us as we were leaving to make sure we had a good time. I only wish we lived closer, but if we were headed to the mountains for a hike, we would have had to drive further, so that's ok. We will definitely be back!!Sandy L.

55Great experience! Grace is as nice as can be. The property is well cared for and provided a lot of opportunity for our dogs to run and get worn out. Be prepared to hike up some steep inclines in order to utilize the entire property (this ended up being a great walk for us as well!). Will definitely be going back! Oh, and though we don't think this will be the case at all times, our pups did need a bath after their visit (in the best way possible). :)Jim M.

55What a great spot to explore! I am always a little nervous trying new spots due to my dog's reactivity to people and dogs. This spot was as advertised - fully enclosed and not another dog or person in sight (although we could hear people in the distance). Grace, the host, was fantastic and greeted us at the start while giving our dog the space he needs to be comfortable.Kate C.

55Another great time with the pups. It was hot that day but with all the trees we stayed nice and cool. Perfect day!
If you are worried about how your dog will react to the goats, please dont worry. They are far enough away behind a fence. My dog's didn't even notice them.
I've already reserved a third visit.
Thanks again Grace for sharing this gem! Rachel N.

55This is arguably the best Sniffspot we’ve been to yet! Beautiful property with well maintained trails that loop around and let you feel like you could get lost but with the safety of knowing you won’t. Property line is very visible via fencing and we loved switching between swimming in the creek to running through tall grass to exploring through the overgrowth. Grace was an amazing host, we will definitely be back! Jaquie K.

55We had a great time in the mini forest. Our two dogs loved running around and even went in the water. Tons of space and was some good exercise for the dogs and us! Lots of benches and tables so we might bring a picnic next time. Grace was very nice and welcomed us as soon as we drive up. There was even a welcome sign for us! Looking forward to coming back.

55We loved this sniff spot! Lots of trails to go on, and the dogs loved the creek to cool off and chase frogs. One of our dogs is pretty reactive but we had no issues, as the area is secure and private. Grace came out to meet us and was welcoming and helped guide us to where to go. It’s a beautiful piece of property and was very relaxing. Some areas are more wooded and there are some open grassy fields too. Zoe Z.

55WOW! This spot is absolutely beautiful for humans, and a DOGGY DREAM ADVENTURE COME TRUE. It far exceeded any expectation I had, and is WELL WORTH THE DRIVE. There is a creek, meadows and a forest with sniffs and nature sounds forever. My terrier never ceased exploring at full tilt, while my Shih Tzu and I were very pleased with the benches conveniently placed along the way. I had toys with me, but they never left the bag. Both pups were passed out on the drive home. Miraculous, as my terrier has NEVER slept in the car regardless of how many hours the trip!
This truly is a mini mountain so I would recommend some study shoes and water for humans as well as pups. It took us an hour to explore just the perimeter, so book for at least two hours to really experience this amazing property. There are many lovely places for a picnic. The property is fenced, but a good recall would be good as you can easily lose sight of your pups in the forest. You briefly pass a horse and goats while leashed on the way in, but no other animals or humans once over the bridge, so I would recommend for reactive dogs.

55This was our first Sniffspot that we visited and we were amazed how beautiful it was. It was nice to let our dogs off leash and explore without worry. The scenery was so nice and peaceful and very clean. Our dogs were in heave, they couldnt believe it either :) To top it off the creek was a hit! I cant like this spot enough. We are looking forward to coming back.

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.
