55Such a nice spot. It’s like visiting your own park. Our dog loved all the smells and land to run! They were even kind enough to ask the neighbor to keep their dogs inside while we were there since our dog is reactive to other dogs. We’ll be back!Stephanie P.

55Bella had a great visit! Tons of room to explore and run! The yard was beautiful and the pond is a very nice touch. The owner supplied water (for both me and Bella), toys, and waste bags! Will be coming back! Allison M.

55My dogs had a blast running, sniffing, playing, getting in the pond. Would definitely recommend and will bring them back especially as the weather gets warmer they love to have the pond and stream to cool off in. Sophie K.

55My dog had an absolute blast! She enjoyed exploring the perimeter of the pond and jumping over the small creek. There was plenty of space for her zoomies and lots to sniff!Lindsay M.

55This was our first time using sniff spot and we had a great time! Lovely place to spend some time while letting your fur baby explore. I was able to test out my dog’s recall in a safe environment, which was huge for us. Thank you!Carly J.

55Wow. Just wow. Thee most beautiful and perfect Sniffspot. Fully fenced, secure, extremely clean and well kept, PLENTY of space to run and play and the pond is just the cherry on top. The host Monica came out and introduced herself and was so nice and welcoming! We had an absolute BLAST. We did not want to leave and will definitely be back, especially since it is only 12 minutes from me. Monica H.

55We brought an adoptable shelter dog (Toast) to this sniffspot and it was beautiful! Will definitely be back. Monica was so sweet and welcoming. You can tell how much she loves the pups that visit. The property is clean and a great size - plenty of space for zoomies, fetch, sniffing, and strolling. Toast had a blast and we found out he likes to swim! There are fish in the pond and chickens on the property that Toast enjoyed watching (something to consider if you have a reactive dog). I highly recommend this sniffspot and am excited to return with another shelter dog!Allison C.

55Our pup and family had an amazing time! So much space to run and explore and a gorgeous pond area to listen to the fountain and watch the fish. Our reactive pup was in sensory heaven and was exhausted after the hour. Look forward to coming back again.! Nicole R.

55Tormund had a wonderful time at this truly backyard oasis! He waded in the pond (and didn’t bother a single fish), harassed chickens (first time seeing one), and of course, sniffed everything. By the end of the hour and a half he was waterlogged and pooped, waiting at the gate to head home. 🤣 we will definitely return on another hot day!Negesti K.

55Monica & her husband were the absolute sweetest. My dog is not great with other dogs & she went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable. Great location & our pups LOVED the pond ! null n.

55Clem had a great time today. This yard is our favorite out of all the spots we've visited. It's nice that he has the entire place to himself since he is unpredictable around other dogs. I loved that there was an umbrella to sit under today as it was very warm and sunny!Lori J.

FAQ about our Columbus 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.
