55Dogs had an amazing time at Black Pond! This spot is great with all of the different things it has to offer…..trails, fields, free roaming, etc. My pups brought their cousins along to show off the SniffSpot. The host was incredible at letting us know that a dump truck was dropping something off nearing our departure time so we stayed in the field playing for a few extra minutes! So nice to have a host that understands the special needs of our pets. It was a fun activity to do pre- Thanksgiving…..dogs were exhausted on Thanksgiving which allowed everyone to rest. Will definitely be back. Heather P.

55This was a great spot. More than enough room to run for our pups. It was pretty wet when we visited (PNW winter, ha) so I really appreciated the towels being provided to dry them off. Ample signage and clear instructions meant we had no doubt where to go. We'll be back again for sure. Doug J.

55My dogs always love their time here. A well kept property, streams, pond, a canopy to duck under when it’s pouring. The dogs love running through the old growth and we like to hit the trails.Ali B.

55Black Farm Pond is quickly becoming our favorite Sniffspot. Tim has lots of clear signage throughout his property that lets you know where you’re going and how to return to the parking area, which is extremely helpful on such a large property. The tent set-ups at Club Zoomies and by the pond have been very nice during this rainy weather. The only note is that it does get quite dark by 4 pm (winter season), so I’d recommend bringing a headlamp or flashlight if you’re visiting past that time.
Overall, I think Black Pond Farm is great!Andi N.

55This place is the best!! My dog loooooves to sniff and explore and track scents but she’s reactive so hiking can be stressful for her (and me). This is an amazing place to let her just be a dog without any worries. Had to keep her on leash because her penchant for tracking overrides her recall training every time but she still had the best adventure. Thank you so much for creating this space and we will definitely be back!!! Hannah K.

55This was our first visit but definitely won’t be our last. It’s a very well kept trail and everything is clearly marked. Our dogs weren’t the only ones who enjoyed their time, we did too. There were also convenient times available to book. We look forward to coming back here!Michelle D.

55Trails are well marked. Good sniffing all around for two dogs. We used GPS to get there but used a map to get home which was much better. Host was very responsive. Great Christmas outing from the dogs.Ruth L.

55We haven't visited this Sniffspot in quite a long time since we are an hour drive away but I'm glad to say it's better than ever! The trails are well kept and well sign-posted, and we really appreciate the extras like towels and holiday decorations. On this visit we ventured onto the DNR land "next door", and it's very clearly sign posted that we may see other people/dogs/etc. there. We saw one person on horseback, though I did hear them before we saw them and was able to get my dog back on leash easily. My dog was too busy sniffing to get over excited about the horse, but it's something to be aware of if you decide to wander onto the DNR land. It wasn't an issue for us so we'll continue to come back to this great spot!Imee T.

FAQ about our Post Falls 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.
