55Dog paradise! The trails are well maintained. The pond is a great place for pups to cool off on a hot day, with a bonus dog wash area. The hosts are very kind and accommodating. I can't wait to visit again!Samantha R.

55Very friendly, beautiful area with lots of birds. The pond is muddy but the wash station is nice. Our dog ate a frog but didn't appear sick so not toxic. Bug spray is recommended in warm weather and your dog should have tick repellent/meds.Melissa A.

55Definitely time to get the big sprays out before the walk. But still a good walk and play on the water. So many frogs just hanging around. Gus loved them. They didn’t seem bothered by him much in the water with them so cute. Love these memories we are making. Angela F.

55We had a terrific time at Jeannete’s property. Beautiful and the perfect size and space to spend some time exploring, getting some zooms out and practicing recall outdoors in a safe space between some mellow moments. Great value. We’ll make every effort to come back soon. Steph W.

55Our favourite spot to visit! Between the beautifully maintained property, trails to explore, lake to splash in and all the wildlife this is a reactive dogs heaven! Initially took her a couple of visits to start feeling safe, she is coming out of her shell as she is realizing there is no others dogs to worry about and it’s so peaceful.
The amazing hosts have also put in a dog wash station, so no muddy paws 🐾 in the car!
Overall an amazing time every visit!Jaquie D.

55The property is amazing, A+, and I would definitely recommend it! My dog loved every minute of it. The path is well maintained and there is a couple of water access points along the way. The chairs at the end of the trails are a nice touch!
I also loved the podium and hose located at the parking lot.
The host was very kind and welcoming, we will definitely be back!
P.S. Don't forget your bug spray, like I did :)Sanja K.

FAQ about our Bolton 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.
