55The pup and I had a great time exploring this beautiful, wooded property!
The host was great! We were the first ever to visit this spot. The host was surprised it booked so quickly (he just listed yesterday) and asked how he could make our visit most comfortable. He was communicative and thoughtful, letting us know the space was quite muddy in some spots.
The pup has a great time sniffing around, sprinting up and down the hills, frolicking along the creek. If it was warmer she may have enjoyed the pond!
A few things to consider:
At the top of the hill we could hear dogs barking but they were pretty far away.
There was some debris on property, as well as some building structures, and a hole for the water feature. We stayed away from all because my pup has a knack for getting in trouble 😄. Again, we were the first ever visitors!
I’m excited to return and enjoy a nice fire!Amanda V.

55Nicely wooded and a lot of bush for the dogs to run around in. The water features were a nice bonus, our dogs loved jumping into the small pond and running through the creek. The different hilly parts allowed us to tired them out with fetch. No worries of other animals or the road since it seemed to be partially fenced. Emily R.

55Great place to explore. Dogs should stay around you if you explore the property, unless you go to fenced in area. We had a good time. Small cars should use caution on the driveway. Easy for SUVs or trucks. Will definitely be back.Chris M.

55Great area with a little bit of everything - trail, small pond, creek, woods, shelters. Our dogs had the best time. It was easy to find and far enough off the road. The trail around the property is about a quarter of a mile. There were some nearby dogs barking but it didn’t bother us. Taylor C.

55Nice private and well taken care of! Beautiful land. Pond was dried up and some spots were a bit overgrown, nothing out of the normal for these summer months! Packed cold water and fruit, enjoyed it on the swing. We had a blast. Loved the toys and covered area, can’t wait to come back when it gets cooler for a fire! Wear hiking shoes and always check for ticks. Can’t wait to come back- thank you!Kaeli R.

55We went the day after a rain and the bugs were biting in full force so bring plenty of bug protection! My dog loved all of the things to sniff and looked so happy and free. He went to sleep the second we got back in the car <3
I would definitely go back when it’s a little cooler and less buggy out.

FAQ about our Winston-Salem 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 Winston-Salem?
There are 38 dog fields in the Winston-Salem area. The most popular dog field is Bugg's Sniff & Bark In Winston Salem. 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 Winston-Salem area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is Fenced yard in Gold Bar. The most expensive dog field is Fenced yard in Gold Bar. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
