55This is a beautiful location. It’s very peaceful. We found water there as well as bug spray (a good thing this time of year), some toys, etc. it’s a very nice setup. The fencing is great—I did not have to worry at all about my dog getting out. The field has a bit of an incline, so running up and down the hill was extra tiring for my dog. We had a great time!Sarah S.

55Addy had a wonderful visit to Madra Training Field! She was able to get in a lot of good sniffs around the whole huge area without us being worried about her getting out and running off. The area is extremely secure ... no worries about her escaping (which she can do quickly elsewhere). The entranceway has a nice double gating so no concerns about them getting out by accident. There were several nice toys kept available in the covered area where 'the humans' can relax if not throwing toys for the dogs. There are also yummy treats and water available with a bowl to use.
We were a little concerned that we wouldn't be able to catch her when it was time to go, but by the time we were ready, she was so tired we were able to get her back on leash without a problem. Beautiful setting! Will be back again!Melissa B.

55The field is spacious, clean, quiet, and has a great view! My dogs had a blast, and I enjoyed the peaceful setting. The host is kind, provides lots of amenities (dog toys, water, comfy seating, bug spray & sun screen, towels to clean the pups’ feet) and responds quickly to messages. This is definitely one of our favorite spots, and I look forward to our next visit! Genna K.

55This was our first time using sniffspots and we had such a wonderful experience. Rebecca was so friendly and sent us explicit instructions on how to reach the training field. It’s a gorgeous wide open space with views of the hills and corn fields. There’s also a ton of amenities such as water, toys, and bug spray!! Gwendolyn R.

55This is a wonderful spot! The fence looks new and is pulled tight and there is a lovely green view! Our dogs loved the running space and it was very clean and well kept! There was a shaded place to shelter from the sun with plenty of toys, water, sanitizer, treats and bags. Thank you for sharing such a great space! Definitely one of our new favorite spots!!Pamela E.

55The weather was perfect snd so was the location. Beautiful views and my dog loved sniffing and exploring through the large grassy field. The shelter area with the bug spray, sunscreen, poop bags, water, treats, and toys for the pup were a wonderful addition and much appreciated! We will be back! Karen B.

55This is such a good spot! We had two acres of very secured fencing for the dogs to romp around in. The area was mowed, there was some shade in the corners, and the host provided toys, water, poop bags, big spray, and a cute little shelter to hang out in. We brought breakfast and had a little picnic while our dogs took in all the smells and romped in the grass. Horses were there on the farm but separated from us by a field in between. Can’t wait to come back! Erin C.

55My energetic terriers had a great time running around, sniffing and playing fetch! The space was exactly as described, beautiful and very peaceful, and the video of directions was super helpful. This is the only Sniffspot my rascals haven’t found a way to escape from, which provides me with a lot of peace of mind. Can’t wait to return.TARA W.

55Perfect. Scenic and plenty of space for some long distance fetch. Hosts provided anything dogs or humans could need--from water, treats, and toys to sunscreen and chairs. Highly recommend and hope to visit again soon ourselves.Joe P.

FAQ about our Aldie 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.
