55We had so much fun coming here for an adventure. Indy and Bailey loved exploring and there were a good amount of options for trails to try, we did them all! A map of the trails was provided at the starting point. We encountered some deer who were a bit curious about us. Very cool to see them before they went on their way. I recommend bringing lots of water and a bowl for your dog, as well as a towel or pet wipes. And that you wear shoes that can be covered in mud. My feet were sunk into mud up to the ankle at some points. I had on hiking boots so it was fine. And who doesn't love some good mud? Be prepared for some bugs. Bug spray was provided at the starting point. A porta potty was there as well. Good spots of shade with the sunshine. The property is beautiful and it was a lovely day to explore. Indy, Bailey and I highly recommend you go have an adventure here!Allie S.

55This is such an amazing space! It's hands-down one of the best Sniffspots I've visited. It's so peaceful and there are tons of trails and little fields to pop in and out of. The store at the beginning is a nice touch, too! I'll definitely be back! Elizabeth H.

55Would give even more stars if I could! We’ve been to many sniff spots with our reactive girl, and while all have been great this one blew it out of the park! Me and my dog love to get lost in the woods, but it can be difficult to find good places to do so where we won’t be on guard that we will run into other people or their dogs. This place was a dream come true with seemingly endless paths to explore and foliage to sniff. It also offered the perfect environment to work on some recall when she would run ahead on trail. My only complaint is with myself, in that I should have booked more than an hour for us to explore! Will definitely be back and cannot recommend highly enough! Aaron A.

55Brought our gravel bikes to test riding with our reactive boy. The closest trails to the main area were best. Felt very comfortable letting him roam into the woods chasing squirrels. Such a great spot! Definitely thinking about camping out here sometime so he can enjoy camping too Kayla E.

55We always appreciate this place, though we don’t visit as nearly as often as we’d like. We recently added a pup to our family, and she was delighted to explore the trails and get some quality sniffari time with her older brother. I was so glad we managed to get a couple of hours in the woods on a delightful early fall day. Five stars doesn’t seem sufficient for how awesome this place is.Kristin O.

55Beautiful area, meadows, uneven terrain, forested area and a pond! There are areas close to the road so be sure your dogs have really, really good recall. I have two deaf dogs (one Great Dane puppy and a very old pitbull) and one hearing Great Dane. The old lady is getting a bit meandering so we ended up putting her in the car for the last little bit of our reservation for safety.
I can’t wait to see it in the summertime!
Thank you so much! Carrie R.

I appreciate how large the space is, which makes it easy to avoid the road and practice recall games. Paul G.

55I had a dog emergency and wasn't able to actually go to our visit, but I'm rating based on the really great communication from the owner. The morning of our visit I received a picture that clearly mapped where to park, where the trails were, and the free roam areas. They communicated with me quickly. We are going to reschedule. I'm excited to visit!Brooke M.

Emily's 5 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Shelton | Sniffspot
55Such a great sniff spot. My dog had a blast running around the trails. The trail that wanders through the property has lots of tree cover and is nice and wide with little ups and downs throughout. There is also a grassy area for fetch. There are nice benches to sit at several points along the trail and by the grassy area. The sniff spot area is back away from the road which was nice since it is unfenced. The host set out poo bags, water and hand sanitizer for us and there was a garbage can right by the parking area. About an hour or so before our visit the host sent a map of the property with directions where to park and the trails. Definitely 5 stars!Tammy R.

55We had such a fun visit! My senior Jack Russell mix loves to hunt for her ball and tossing it into the forest from the trail proved a really fun challenge for her and she loved bounding like a fox through the tall grass field. It felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. We didn't see any people, but the parking is near homes if your dog is people-reactive. For dog-reactive doggos, we could hear some barking from a neighbor's home, but they aren't visible. Fun and unique spot! Brooke M.

55Thick native trees and brush all along the track/trail. My dog liked it and did some off his own off road into the thick. A couple deer popped up and he took chase for a few minutes. I will put is GPS on next time for sure. Some moderate hills along trail which was nice. Strategically placed benches and fresh water at the end.L. W.

FAQ about our Shelton 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.
