55I was so excited to find this place in Elizabeth. I just broke my leg and live in a townhome. Finding a spot I could let my two high energy Pyr Sheps run was problematic. I usually take them for 2 mile hikes every day, but with a broken leg I couldn't. Buttercup had a nice 2 acre area that was fenced with a 4' fence. There was a nice dog next door that my dogs ignored and the owner's sweet cattle dog mix came out and tried to play with my two who are mostly interested in sniffing and playing frisbee. There are a couple of goats in a pasture next door, so probably not a good place for a high prey drive dog that could jump fences. My dogs herd sheep, so they knew to ignore them unless given a command. The goats mostly stayed on the hill away from the fence. Selena was wonderful about welcoming us to her house and it was fun to talk "dog" with her. I would highly recommend Sniff Spot and Buttercup playing.Melinda H.

55Serena was so sweet and helpful! She has a huge area for the dog(s) to play in that includes different smells and objects. She was very welcoming to her home and was very nice with my reactive dog. There was a huge bowl of water too available for my dog, as well. We had a great time and will definitely be back. Thanks so much Serena!Jenna R.

55this place has quickly earned a spot in my top favorite sniffspot locations. there’s more than enough space to fetch, wander & sniff. plus some very funny goats who kept some of the dogs entertained for the majority of time. the host was great, super friendly and welcoming. she provided water bowls and let her dogs out to play after making sure they would all make a good play group. they all had a great time and we will definitely be returning!Andrea J.

55AMAZING yard for dogs to play in! So many areas to run around and enjoy themselves. Lots of shade for pups to cool down in as well!
Serena also had multiple water bowls out & kept refilling them for me. It was wonderful to hang out with her & my boys loved having another person to get attention from. I was even able to buy some farm fresh eggs from her.
The only thing to keep in mind is that there are barking dogs on both sides of the fence. I have a reactive dog that was unbothered, although he was distracted by his toy the majority of the time. Rachel S.

55Great spot! Lots of interesting areas and things to see and sniff. Host was very kind and friendly and allowed the dogs in all areas of the property, which is fully fenced. Two bowls of water were available for the dogs as well as a ball and chuck-it. I wasn’t planning to allow my dogs to play with the goats (although the host said it was okay as long as the dogs wouldn’t bite them), but one of my dogs (55 lbs) wasn’t taking no for an answer and managed to crawl under the fence to the goat pasture. My dogs had the time of their lives playing chase with the four goats and trying to herd them (not too sure if the goats enjoyed it as much but were good sports). If your dog is a Houdini and might be aggressive toward goats, you might want to check with the host to make sure that part of the fence has been fortified. (The fence on the perimeter of the property was very secure, no problems there.) Otherwise highly recommend this spot and will be back (if the goats agree to have us)! Rachel D.

55Had our Great Dane Max enjoy the spot. Lots of new smells, area for him to be off leash where he could run a little. Walked around with him while talking to the host. There are some dogs next door, the goats and horse on the property were away from their fences and Max did not seem interested anyway, too many other things to smell. Just had Max alone with us, plan to go back soon and try out letting be out with the Host dogs.Robert T.

55This is a wonderful sniff spot!! My two boys had an amazing time running around! It’s a beautiful open space with short green grass. It's very clean with fresh water to drink, a basket with toys and plenty of shade. Luise B.

55Nova had the best time here! She loved the big open space to really “open it up”. The host had water, toys, and treats. It is mostly exposed with some good shade trees with benches that are perfect for sitting and watch the pup play! The entire property is well fenced. We will definitely be back! Cody P.

55My dogs loved the place. It’s rural and wide open. I sat in the shade and watched them run wildly. There was water, a stack of tennis balls, and some treats left for them. I had two tiny dogs and one large one and the fence contained them all. Completely quiet and peaceful after a tedious work week. Shannon S.

FAQ about our Falcon 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.
