55Perfect mix of trees and grassland. Open field in the middle has a picnic table outfitted with everything you may need or want - jug of water & water bowl, variety of toys, and now that tick season has started, a natural tick spray - plus there are towels at the gate for muddy paws and along the path to the middle there is a poop bucket & bags for cleaning up. We have yet to see a squirrel within the fenced area but perhaps they're smarter than the ones in our yard and keep their distance. You'll hear and see several birds if you're into that (I am), and will sometimes hear the resident rooster (though you can't see it from the enclosure). All 3 of us (self, wife, dog) fell in love with this place the 1st time we went and its quickly become one of our "happy places." Leanne R.

55It was great! Our dog, Teddy, ran, and ran, and ran some more. You could just see his joy at running free and chasing the ball. The area is clean and has some grassy areas and many trees. There are toys and water provided. We never saw another human or dog while we were there, which is perfect for our “reactive” dog. We will definitely be back.Joanne G.

55This is exactly the kind of spot I'd been looking for! It's nice and big! As in sometimes you can find your dog, big! My pup doesn't do well with others so this space is perfect for him to have some time to explore off leash. Definitely recommend!Haley T.

55Once again, our three Sighthounds had a GREAT time running for 1/2 hour and chasing the chucker ball. Right now I am looking at 3 very tired Salukis. This Sniff Spot is a safe, large area for any type of dog and by far beats any dog park.Jean C.

55What a beautiful space to maintain and share! It was truly a gift to enjoy this lovely spot. Our dog is reactive to other dogs fairly consistently, which is so limiting for us and her time outdoors. Having a place to let our beagle mix sniff and bound around freely filled us all with joy. We will be back soon!Rachael B.

55A great location to spend a couple of hours with your pups. Private and accommodating for those like myself who can’t or don’t want to visit a public dog park. The host is very helpful and friendly. My dogs absolutely loved running and exploring this acreage. Very safe and very fun. Lacey M.

55This was my first time visiting a sniff spot. I think it has probably ruined me for all future sniff spots! It was perfection. So many little thoughtful things that were done to make it the best experience (poop bags, poop bucket, dog toys, water bowl, tick spray, picnic table). I will definitely be going back! Erin M.

55This is such an amazing place for a dog— beautifully landscaped and shaded with plenty of trails and fun places to sniff! The owner is so thoughtful. She provides toys, a
water dish and even some essential oil spray to ward off ticks. I am sure your dog will love this place as
much as ours does! David S.

FAQ about our Centerville 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 Centerville area range from $8.0 and $8.0. The least expensive dog field is Ballard Puptopia. The most expensive dog field is Ballard Puptopia. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
