55First time ever to a Sniffspot today, was a little nervous at first because there was a deer (outside the designated area) and my dog went after it. The panic settled when the fence was secure enough for my dog to remain inside the area. Great for some sniffing and walking around but to “hilly” for my amstaff to flat out run / fetch. Overall, will definitely be coming back to let the pups explore!Sierra B.

55A beautiful spot with lots of big trees and things for pups to sniff, plus seating for the people. Dogs had a wonderful time exploring and running up and down the hill. Easy to find and lots of amenities for dogs and people were a nice touch! Cristina S.

55I’d give it higher than a 5 but it won’t let me. Our dogs love it here! We especially love dropping off toys in the sharing box!Lots of good smells and they love running up and down the hill! There is also a gazebo which makes it fun for rainy day picnics. The owners are super nice and communicative! What are you waiting for? Rowan T.

55Great spot! On a hill so my dogs wore out faster. The chickens became a distraction for my prey-driven dog so we had to leave early - she figured out she could squeeze through the gate to get to them so I left before she could do that. This spot will be great in the summer with lots of shade!Karen S.

55This is a really nice spot, not too far from Albany. The fence was secure. Make sure to latch the gate firmly behind you. That was one spot my dog found he could push against and get through if he tried. There also is a covered seating area, which is a nice touch, especially in the winter. We will definitely be coming back. Rachel X.

55My dog and I really enjoyed this Sniffspot. The hosts were very nice and we had a wonderful time exploring the field and watching the horses. The field we were in had long grass although they mowed it just after we left to provide a short grass as well as long grass option in future.Maggie R.

55Very kind and accomodating host. The field was nice and big with lots of interesting plants to sniff. My dog loved it even though we came on a hot day. Fencing was a little gappy in some places, so i kept my dog on a long line, but a less adventurous dog would probably be just fine off leash.Arianna G.

55We used the field with shorter grass that’s fenced on 3 sides. The horses seemed to be very comfortable with dogs so it was a great opportunity for my dog to get used to them!Jen A.

55Host was nice and the area was great. One side wasnt fenced but it was no problem, we just kept our dogs away from that edge. It was a large area so plenty of space for them to sprint. Hoof holes were present but didnt seem to be an issue, dogs seem injury free. We will definitely be returning.Kyle K.

55This field has easy access and was a great size. There were some points in the fence my pup could have squeezed through, but he does not tend to be an escape artist and was happy sticking close to us. We saw the horses but they were pretty far back from the fence, so it didn't attract our pup to them. There were some horse droppings in the pasture my dog tried to eat, but was able to be distracted by playtime with our chuckit. Overall we had a great experience and definitely will be back!

55It was great, large fenced in area. Definitely a little uneven but not a big deal for our dogs. There was a sign for parking, a little unsure about if we were at the right spot at first but we figured it out! Kayla C.

55Great spot for our dog to run around! There was agility equipment available right at the entrance, but we didn’t even use it because our dog just wanted to run around the field and sniff everything! Lots of space, clean, and the location was easy to get to. There were two beautiful horses that were visible from the spot, but they were behind a fence and did not bother our dog (usually she’s scared of horses but they were far away enough that she didn’t care). A few people were visible too, but again they were far away and our dog wasn’t bothered by them. She just had a grand old time sniffing and running around! Would definitely recommend this spot!Julia D.

55They are so nice!! They last minute let us visit, and when my car got stuck in mud (totally avoidable, my fault entirely) they helped me get it out. My dog had a blast running around and checking out all the new smells. Kayla C.

FAQ about our Albany 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.
