55The ledges were helpful with helping the dogs into the water for the first time. There are several around the pool that will also help them to get themselves out. There are well loved toys available but you can bring ones that float.. key is float not sink lol They do have a net to retrieve ones that do sink. The water was clean and clear and area was nice. There is grass around the outside of the pool area for them to use the bathroom and a dedicated bin outside the gate to dispose. Towels are provided but we brought our own just in case. I would recommend preparing to be totally wet if assisting your pets and having something to sit on during drive home. Also make sure to stop and use the restroom prior to getting there so you don’t have to leave and come back! It was our first time and Will be better prepared next visit. It’s exactly as described, easy to access and we enjoyed thoroughly! Dogs were so worn out and that’s what we wanted. Thank you for offering your pool to the 4 legged kids! Shari W.

55First time using this today and it went above and beyond expectations! Easy instructions for how to get to the pool, towels, water and toys all accessible for use, and an absolutely beautiful location! The step downs in the pool made it easy for my golden’s first time in a pool and as soon as he figured it out, he was off to the zoomie races! We will definitely be back :)Marissa B.

55We absolutely loved this Sniffspot - my dogs had a blast! As soon as I took my Labrador Retriever off leash, she ran and launched straight into the pool, she was in heaven. So great for cooling off in this summer heat. There were water bowls and tons of toys available for our choosing, entry/exit was a breeze. Highly recommend this spot - we will be back for sure!Megan R.

55The fenced in back yard was delightful since it had a metal fence that gave an open feel (verses a privacy fence) to the golf course behind the house. The pool was perfect for our 2 pups! There are little steps at the end and on sides that pups could step on to exit the pool. The water temp was perfect also! It was a great treat for our pups, and we'll be back!Barbara B.

55Super nice neighborhood and the pool was very cool. My dog had a lot of fun. He's old so I don't let him go to the deep end but there was more than enough space on the steps for us to play there and do shallow swims! Kailah K.

FAQ about our Chesapeake 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.
