55Awesome fenced in lot with different trails and an open grass space for fetch! I was unable to attend a reservation and the owners gave me a coupon to reschedule with them! Place is well kept and toys are provided, if you don’t bring your own. My pup loved it and I enjoyed walking the mowed trails. Will come back!Shawna H.

55A lovely place to spend a few hours! Many great trails, lots of space for the dog to run. It’s so nice not to worry about other people, dogs, vehicles, etc. I’m able to let my dog run free and explore without any worries. Visiting this SniffSpot is such a treat. I usually book for 2-3 hours.Hannah W.

55I wasn't actually there on wed 11/18. There was a glitch in scheduling-I was trying to schedule for a different day/time, but since it put me in for an hour later I couldn't cancel. Michel was very understanding and SniffSpot support was great as well. I didn't have to double pay and was able to book my reservation for what I wanted Amber G.

55Well maintained trails and beautiful clearing! The woods are gorgeous! My dog and I had a great time exploring. Really appreciated the tennis balls/chuck it launcher that were on the bench at the end of the field. Kris H.

55A really great space. We let our dog explore on her long leash for a bit first to get the lay of the land before letting her run free. Lots of trails as well as open space to play fetch.Dan B.

55My dog and I had a great time! The trees were so beautiful with the frost. All of the main trails were plowed which was nice as well. I also really appreciate the scheduling flexibility, I can always find a time that works for me!Madalyn A.

55Love this place! 2nd time, it truly is a hidden gem. The dogs can be dogs and run and sniff- my kids feel like they are adventurers in the woods. Great place to work on recall!! I send my kids off in the woods with treats and when they are ready- they call the dogs to run them- I call them back- and so on. Tired dogs, tired kids. Win-win!Michelle S.

55This was our first visit and we all LOVED it. What a beautiful location with well cleared and groomed trails. My two labs ran so much they have been sleeping all evening, waking up just long enough to eat supper. Directions were perfect making it easy to find. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

55Our 3rd time- our dogs are excited to come, they were much more comfortable this time and explored more, were very curious about the dogs that lived there today (we had to call them away from the gate at least 2-3 times- sorry!! They wanted to meet your pups!) Our recall is getting so good! Great practice. My husband had the day off and our kids were in school- it made a nice little hiking date :)Michelle S.

55This spot was a great stop for our 4 large dogs (3 shepherds, 1 lab). There was a large, groomed open center of property surrounded by woods. Each wooded side were plenty of snowy trails to enjoy. It was especially picturesque on our visit. Our dogs ran and ran until they had expended all of their energy and slept like babies all the way home. This would be a great spot for training, fetching, or even a pooch party. We loved it and will return soon.Angela R.

55We had a great experience and our dogs loved it! Plenty of room to explore, sniff, run, and have fun. The directions to access and enjoy the property were easy to follow. The sled for photos was adorable and the toys available to use were a nice added touch. However, our dogs just liked exploring so we didn’t have to use the basket of goodies. We will definitely be back! Taylor E.

FAQ about our Altoona 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.
How can I find dog fields in Altoona?
There are 11 dog fields in the Altoona area. The most popular dog field is Wheaton Wild. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
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 Altoona area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is Hilly and large for a great workout!. The most expensive dog field is Hilly and large for a great workout!. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
