55Alana's was a great place for curious dogs. Woods to investigate and water to splash in. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to let my 5 months old Koolie off lead because the spaces in the pasture gate, not the entrance gate, were big enough for him to slip through. However, when he is a bit older, and has a solid recall, we'll definitely be back. Carol B.

55Ruger and Indy had so much fun today at Alana's! They romped to their hearts' content and chased each other in the big fenced off area. There were some low swampy spots on this spring day - which the dogs LOVED rolling around in - so you might want to have a towel in the car. They got to splash around in the creek a little, beautiful clear running water - and then an hour was up and it was time to go! We will be back to explore the other fields. You could easily spend 2 hours and not notice how fast the time goes by. Very peaceful, beautiful, good for dogs and human too! Alana is a great host, with great communication and a whole bucket full of toys. :) Michele P.

55Fantastic spot! Fenced in area was big enough to get zoomies out with a lot of new smells to keep her mind pre-occupied.
We also loved the upper area through the woods and a great view!
As host states, it is a working farm with livestock visibly present. It was not an issue with walking by the pasture with my girl on a lead! Holly C.

55This was a really nice place to visit with our German Shepherd. We mostly stuck to the fenced in field which our dog loved giving a thorough sniff. Our thanks to Alanna and her husband!Denise B.

55This is the greatest spot! Super secure, didn’t worry once about their safety, supplies as needed and somehow no ticks after 35 min of play! My dog especially loved the giant mud puddle (came prepared with towels!) if your dog is like mine, be ready to hit up the dog wash on the way home but it’s worth every quarter spent! Two very happy dogs. As a note to other dog owners, please clean up your poop. This field is very large but I promise you, a puppy will find your dog’s poop. Be considerate to Alana and her other guest, and prevent dog illnesses. Vanessa K.

55Huge fenced in area for my dogs to run! Directions were clear and finding the place was easy. If you have dogs that like to eat random stuff like mine do, I would recommend taking them out further in the pasture before taking them off leash. Mine enjoyed the sheep poop buffet near the front corner until I redirected them further out. This is normal behavior for dogs that people generally consider to be gross but it won't hurt them. The grass height ranged from ankle to waist high across the pasture. Both of my dogs, especially the smaller one (50 pound pitbull), went full gazelle mode bounding through the taller areas. They ran and played and wrestled and generally had a blast. Normally they get bored of a smaller fenced in area in about 15-20 minutes but here with the massive area to explore they played the whole hour with a couple brief rests. We will definitely be returning!Christopher S.

55Beautiful place to explore. We stayed in the fenced area with our dog and his two best friends. They loved running freely (and rolling in poop, lol). We appreciated the paper towels provided. There was a tiny baby deer in the pasture — fortunately it was a faster runner than the dogs! Just something to be aware of. Katie M.

55this was our very first sniffspot and it was amazing! my boy rudy had a wonderful time exploring all the new sights and smells, as well as swimming in the stream (his favorite thing to do)! this was such a wonderfully enriching activity for both of us. the fenced area is very large and seems secure as long as your pup won't readily jump the 4-foot height. there's a lot going on in there including field-type area, a marshy section, and wooded areas, as well as some trees near the gate for nice shade. the stream is extremely accessible, and it was very clear where to park and which sections are available for exploring. alana was also very kind and quick to answer a few questions i had. she also let me know ahead of time that due to the rain lately, some of the grass was a bit high. this was perfectly fine for us as my boy really loved running through it and rolling in it! thank you!!Jessica S.

55Beautiful property. We stayed mostly in the fenced in area (our coonhound loved being off leash without us having to worry too much about recall). We ventured off onto some paths and found a lovely stream where he could swim a little. Alana was so great, and supplied poop bags, tennis balls, paper towels, etc. The fields were pretty wet (to be expected with recent weather) and there was quite a bit of animal poop (also to be expected with it being a farm) But overall we had a great time, I would totally recommend letting your pup explore here!

55Beautiful place! This was our first time at a Sniffspot so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was a bit confused about how to navigate the ground/map but Alana answered my question promptly. We wandered around the grounds a bit (the cows said hello) and then went back into the fully fenced in area. We went in the evening, and my dog Rory was thrilled that for the first time ever he got to chase a deer without me telling him to “leave it” or quickly recall him (the deer jumped the fence, Rory did not/could not)! I did a good tick-check afterwards and was pleasantly surprised to not find any. Some parts of the grounds were a bit soggy after all the rain, but Rory certainly didn’t mind and I brought a change of socks and shoes for the ride home. The stream was also convenient for a quick dog-rinse before getting in the car. Thanks again for allowing us to use your landJennifer K.

55We love this spot! My dog needs a lot of work on recall and is super anxious about other dogs. The fenced in field gave him freedom that he never gets and he had such a great time. There is comfortable access to the creek for rinsing off, and we had fun walking around the fields on leash. We will definitely be back!Jane R.

55We will definitely be back! Loved how varied the fenced area was. Swampy parts, dried ground, tall grass, short grass, brush, trees…so many things to explore. Ré had the best time. Easy access and accurate information. Fence was good and the only spot I need to be careful was right by the stock gate.
With the mild wet winter wear your muck boots. Karen L.

FAQ about our Nassau 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.
