55We visited Field and Farm Dog Park yesterday. It was such a joy to watch my dog run… and run. He’s part Border Collie and looked it. He chased a ball, he explored.
The host notes in her description that the ground is uneven for walking. I was glad to have with me a more agile friend with a steadying arm; all three of us had a wonderful time.
The park is welcoming and charming, with balls and sticks and water and chairs. I look forward to our next visit, and I can’t wait to see my dog’s excitement when we arrive.Joan S.

55Great spot to let your pups run and play! My dogs had a blast exploring and chasing each other around this beautiful property. Definitely appreciated the ball, stick, and water station. Such a nice touch! We will be back soon:) Alanna W.

55Heard about this from a little flyer at Humboldt Pet Supply - so glad I checked it out! Space is exactly as advertised. I appreciated the attention to detail with the toys, water, and poop station. My dogs had tons of fun smelling, playing on the play structures, and chasing balls. We’ll definitely be back. Stella M.

55My dog loved it! We just did a 1/2 hour to check it out. I will do the full hour next time and bring a blanket and a book since he doesn’t fetch and just wanted to run around and smell everything 😂 Thank you!Kayla J.

55Excellent space. Large enough to be fun for a large dog, small enough to sit down. Seating and tree shade, dog toys and pop scoop provided. Will be back! Kelly V.

55What a great hour of pure fun our 10 month old Lab, Faye had with her new best friend Lucas, a gorgeous 90 lb 2year old rescue from our local Shelter. We’ve been wanting to have our dogs meet up for a playdate but since neither of us has fenced yards- where to meet? This was the perfect spot- completely fenced, plenty of room to run, sniff, tumble, rest in the shade and then do it all again. And the dog moms and dads got to chat w/o worrying what the pups were up to! Thank you so much for opening your property up to accommodate those of us w/ dogs that aren’t crazy about dog parks. Pure gold!!LouAnna P.

55What a sweet spot! Plenty of space for the pooch to play and explore and nice chairs so I could relax and take in the stunning scenery. It's very evident that Rebecca truly wants the best experience for our furbabbies by supplying a beautiful, safe space with plenty of toys, sticks and drinking water. My little guy was blissfully pooped after his visit. Fell asleep on the way home with a smile on his face:) We look forward to many more visits! Heidi W.

55Fantastic spot for sniffing, running, fetching, and a tiny bit of agility. Fully fenced, and unless your dog is persistent and really doesn’t want to be there, I felt it was high and secure enough my dog couldn’t escape. Our dog had a blast and we’ll definitely be back!Sigrid M.

55Great open space for the dogs to run with a basket of toys, balls and fresh water. There’s a pretty tree with a couple chairs to sit on while you throw a ball for your dogs and take in the view :-)Simcha M.

55Very thoughtfully planned spot!! The host has sticks and toys for guests to borrow. They also gave us a rag to wipe the morning dew off the chairs. Our dog loved every second of it, and so did we! Johanna M.

55This location is so beautiful, spacious, and super welcoming. The Sniffspot sign on the street makes it super easy to find and has a very nice lot for parking. My dog had a great time here and I will be coming back for months to come. It was pouring before my scheduled time and was unsure if it was going to work out and the host was very accommodating to rescheduling. Luckily it stopped raining a few minutes after my 1hr began and was able to enjoy the rest of my visit. Great spot & HIGHLY recommend 😁! Alexia Z.

FAQ about our Arcata 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.
