55Amazing spot, fully fenced and tons of fun things to smell and explore. My pup was happy and completely exhausted after 40 minutes! Doesn't hurt that the view is absolutely amazing. Thanks so much, Antoni!Tyler M.

55My dog Zeke and I had a great time! We started the day at the property where Zeke was able to explore, sniff, and run around to his hearts content. The property is lovely, has buckets for dog bags, water bowls, toys, and good fencing. Zeke isn’t a ‘dog park’ kind of dog so this was a wonderful way for him to have some space to run and explore in a safe space. Bonus of the day was easy access to downtown Petaluma for brunch on our way back the East Bay. We look forward to our next visit! Crista L.

55Wow! This place is fabulous!!
Our energetic dogs had a blast sniffing in the sheds, grass, rocks & trees for 1.5hrs! SO much fun space with lots of climbing areas to wear them out.
We couldn’t believe how many nooks and crannies worth of space this property has and the dogs took full advantage. We will definitely be adding this to one of our top spots! Misty L.

55This sniffspot is tucked in a small valley with great views. We were here as the sun was going down at 5:00 and the amber light on the hills was gorgeous! The fenced in part is the major play area, half of which is a pretty steep hillside. From the top you get a peak over into the Petaluma valley. Water is back by the parking area and your dog can be off leash anywhere on the fenced in property. Jonathan F.

55I love this Sniffspot. And Poppy REALLY loves this spot. It’s HUGE and full of places to explore, which is right up her alley. It’s also lovely for us two-legged tagalongs. Peaceful with beautiful scenery. I will definitely be bringing Poppy back for another visit. She had an amazing time.
While it’s a hit for me and Poppy, there are some things to know. The space is rugged with tall dry grass and it’s hilly. However, there is an area that’s flat and easy to get to from your car, but that is a bit overgrown. Claudette B.

55Great visit! Lots of land for my dog to explore (hills, flat/grassy areas and outbuildings). First Sniffspot experience—definitely enjoyed letting her roam safely and not worrying about how she might interact with other dogs (usually good but every now and then she gets anxious/unpredictable). Didn’t have to think about that. :) Susan F.

55Fabulous! It was our first Sniffspot booking, and it was a major hit with all four of our dogs! Antoni the owner communicated well and was there to greet us on our arrival to show us the basics. Since the parking area is inside the fenced property, we could let the dogs out the moment we closed the gate behind us and parked the car. We had an hour, but our dogs went so wild they were exhausted after about 40 minutes! No problem, though, because the amenities included purified well water in a refillable bowl right there inside the gate where we parked. Antoni also thoughtfully provided poop bags, but we always carry our own, and left two deposits in the cans he also provides. One of our dogs is a bit lame, so I was concerned that she might have had trouble getting over the slopes on the property (not much of it is flat), but she absolutely romped it! They all did, and clearly were enjoying every minute. It's on a quiet rural lane only about 10 minutes drive from downtown Petaluma; very peaceful and quiet. I think the best thing about it is that it is so big; 5 acres - our dogs have never had that much space to themselves off-leash, so it's no wonder they went crazy with excitement the moment they jumped out of our car. Thank you, Sniffspot, and thank you, Antoni - we'll be back soon!Paul M.

55First time Using Sniff Spot. Visiting from out of town stayed at local hotel and needed a place to exercise 5 mo Shepherd mix and my 10 year old maltipoo. What an amazing property. Secure - wooden fence has additional steel mesh so dogs can’t slip through planks. Fenced field/pasture was on a hill side with shrubbery, tall grasses, some dirt. Perfect enrichment environment. Puppy couldn’t stop running and sniffing everywhere. Maltipoo let her inner wild child out and rolled in dirt. Very cute watching her try to jump through grasses taller than she. Property was quiet and beautiful. Shelter in pasture had chairs and little table but I had fun walking the property line, practicing recalls with doggos. Host left out filtered water and garbage cans for doggie waste. Gave clear instructions and contact info if I had questions. It’s on a hill, so not ideal if you have mobility concerns, or if you need a flat field for practicing frisbee tricks but it is perfect for a puppy to be exposed to different terrain and ideal for exploring and letting dogs be dogs. I would recommend close toed shoes (no flip flops). I wish I lived closer…I’d be here every week! Teresa G.

55This is the best Sniff Spot I’ve visited! Antoni was there to meet me since it was my first visit. He gave me a personal tour, which was fantastic. He did ask permission first, though, so don’t worry if your dog is reactive, he will definitely let you explore on your own if that works out better for your dog. My dog is scared of strangers, but warmed up to Antoni within a few minutes. I was grateful for the tour, because the layout could be confusing the first time, but only because there is SO MUCH you have access to. Once you are inside and close the gate behind you, you have access to literally the entire five acres, even the old barn. The secure fenced area even surrounds the house. There are several fenced areas on the property from previous owners, but the gates to those are open and you can wander through them all. The perimeter fence is wood, but with mesh fence on top, and is very secure. There are only a couple of spots where a very small dog could get through a gap, but it was secure for my 40lb dog. We were there for an hour and I wished I had more time because there were so many areas to explore. There are large trees, two shelters, a couple of chairs, lots of large rocks to climb on, and hills and potholes to explore. My dog is exhausted from all the uphill running. I wish I could give more than five stars!Susan S.

FAQ about our Alamo 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.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Alamo area range from $20.0 and $20.0. The least expensive dog field is Acres in the Forest. The most expensive dog field is Acres in the Forest. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
