55Hilly spot with trees and small trails to explore. My dogs had plenty of room to run and sniff around. They loved spying on the chickens in the adjacent field. The fencing seemed secure and there were no visible humans or dogs around. Bring water for your dogs and wear sturdy boots. We will definitely be back!AMY T.

55We had a great time at this spot. Lots of space to run around. Great sniffs. Good trails to walk around on. Even after all the rain we have had it wasn’t muddy. The parking area was the the only area that was muddy. This spot is on a hill so got a little leg work out.
Good fencing. Susan D.

55This is a beautiful spot and the fencing is wonderful. We were so hopeful to wear out our girl all over the hills and with the open space/trails. I did not realize how close to the fence the chicken pen was and this was our dog’s first time seeing chickens. She has a high prey drive and was not interested in exploring the sniff spot, she only wanted to watch the birds!Courtney G.

55This is a stunning property!! We really messed up and thought that our reservation was at 12:30 pm when it was actually at 12! So we lost 30 mins of the first booking. I ended up booking another hour 30 mins later and we stayed the entire time. The terrain and trees are so fun and spacious. Charlie is not usually that interested in places, but was very happy to run around, see horses and chickens and sniff around for a good amount of time! No chickens or animals are in the spot. Fencing is great! We will be back whenever possible! So far my most favorite spot.Aley A.

55The hills were great to test my dog’s recall and practice always staying in eyesight even if she’s not tethered to me.
Overall, my new favorite Sniffspot with a great location and good price for the space! Gabrielle N.

55Beautiful spot! Wooded with hilly trails, felt like a mini hiking spot. Perfect for testing our dog's recall, and plenty of space for our pup to run around and explore. Our pup absolutely loved it here, will definitely be coming back again! Thank you!Ayu I.

55Beautiful spot out in fall city. 3 acres completely fenced! You will feel like your in a beautiful forest with trails, but completely fenced so if your pups want to wander and explore no worry’s. The host is so very nice he came out and put his beautiful german Shepard away in the house as i had requested and brought out fresh water for my pups! Highly recommend!Denise R.

55We loved this property. Binkey had so much fun! The area is wooded, so we had some shade and I was so happy to let him just run around free in this new area where he can sniff and enjoy himself without worrying about other dogs or other people. It's a huge fenced area. The owner was very nice and came to say hello and ensure his dogs were inside. We didn't hear or see them at all. We loved it and plan to come back again!Smitha N.

55This is nice, quiet, shaded area for the dogs to sniff about in. My four had a good time exploring and I felt safe that it was fully fenced. There are three paddocks and we explored two. The third was a little too overgrown so the gate couldn't be opened. The host was very pleasant and helpful. Ailynn C.

55First off, it was our first time and we love the concept of SniffSpot and we really enjoyed the time spent here. This is a sprawling large area with lots of trees. It's very natural, not much disturbed and my doggu felt like he is walking the woods. Booboo really loved it!
Some things to keep in mind - I had to tie the gate correctly. That was easy, but important to do.
Parking was easy and close by and I found the place easy, but when getting out, need to be careful turning around.
There are various areas to go explore and you just need to make sure you can always know where your dog is and call them from anywhere. They can have lots of fun here and you can just relax on the chair. Pretty cool!Molly D.

FAQ about our Ephrata 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.
