55Nice, private area to play fetch and let the dogs run. Not fully fenced, but my dogs aren’t escapists so that isn’t a requirement for me. There were several poop piles in the yard, maybe other visitors don’t pick up after their pets, but not too bad. Trash can is available for poop bags and a clean water station. As noted in description, it’s not easy to find using Google Maps so don’t even try. Just follow the directions the host left in the notes. I’ll definitely be back!Angie S.

55This is a great spot for dogs to play! It’s a long sloping field with lots of trees and a creek on one side. Our dogs loved playing in the water and chasing each other around the open areas!Catherine B.

55Great spot with both sunny and shady spots and a fun creek for the pups to romp in. Easily identifiable with a Sniffspot sign. Will definitely come back again. My only wish was that there was a small garbage can to throw poop bags and trash away.Cheryl S.

55Great spot for dogs to be able to fully run and explore. There are a couple holes, but they were marked with a chair when we were there. Our miniature dachshund and Vizsla loved it.Shay S.

55We had a wonderful time! The fencing was very secure and sufficient for my dog. Lots of seating and shade for the humans! First time visitors, make sure you follow Elizabeth’s written directions and don’t just put the address into GPS. Rebeka G.

55I was traveling through North Carolina and booked this spot for my two pups who needed some off leash time and boy let me tell you this was the highlight of the day for them. This is a wonderful spot. So beautiful and so much space for the dogs. Naomi P.

55This is such a good spot. Perfect for what my dog needs. Private, large, and my dog loves laying in the creek that runs through to cool off. It can get muddy, but I've gone the day after a big rain and it's never as bad as I thought it would be. Ashley D.

55This was truly the best thing ever! I think my boyfriend and I had just as much fun as our dogs did. I have never seen my one dog run so fast in her entire life and there was so much open field for her to let her energy out. This will definitely become a more regular thing for us!!Maddy F.

55We loved the large space and babbling Brook at this Sniff spot. Because of the recent weather, it was a little muddy, but overall not bad. Good place for dogs to run their little legs offJaime F.

55This was our favorite sniff spot of all time!! We are traveling with our beagle and our Brittany and needed a safe place to let them run. They loved every minute of this beautiful and safe sniff spot. It was very clean and the host was extremely helpful and responsive! It was worth the hour drive to get here from our cabin! 🐶❤️🐶❤️🐶❤️Pam D.

FAQ about our Asheville 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 Asheville area range from $4.0 and $25.0. The least expensive dog field is Doggy Daycation. The most expensive dog field is All Access Dogs. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
