55This was such a wonderful and fun experience for our 10 month old rescue puppy! She has a lot of energy and some anxiety. So it was great to have her run free in a big yard that is fully fenced in and away from possible triggers. She was so so happy. We will definitely be back! Thank you to the host! Samantha S.

55I took my pup and some client’s pups that I’m boarding, here to go have a nice run around. It’s a wonderfully spacious and level yard. There’s plenty of space for high speed laps and chasing. Seating available and amenities like a fire pit and heat lamp too! The homeowner greeted us and asked if it was ok to meet the pups. He was kind enough to offer the pups a nice big container of water and made sure we had everything we needed for a great time. Definitely scheduling more play dates here in the future! Thanks for everything!Stephanie C.

55Jack loved frolicking around in the snow and getting laps in as well as thrashing around twigs. This is his favorite Sniffspot.
Great wide open space for pups to enjoy and burn off their energy while being perfectly safe and contained. The owners are the sweetest and most accommodating people. Highly recommend!Stephanie C.

55Dave the host is great: super accommodating, friendly and definitely a dog lover! The firepit area was so relaxing, and our dog Jill had a wonderful time running around off leash. We made a lot of progress teaching her fetch! Our rescue dog has some issues with reactivity, she gets overexcited very easily, so the fencing and wide open space for her to run made it safe and relaxing for all! Thanks Dave!Jessica S.

FAQ about our Montclair 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.
