55I love this place. The fence is high so if you have a jumpy dog it’s perfect. The yard is huge and has so many things that your dog can do. As well as many places to sit down and watch your pup. They take the owners into consideration by having a bathroom, drinks, and cute things to dress your dog up in. I love this place and would definitely go back. Kristina M.

55Our first visit was absolutely amazing. We have a reactive dog, and it was amazing being able to see him be comfortable enough to explore and begin to play on his own without any worries.
The Sniffspot had so many amazing things throughout it for both the dogs and their handlers and you can tell Julie cares deeply about her visitors.
Julie is amazing to work with and we will be back. ❤️Chelsea S.

55This was our very first time ever in a private dog park. Darla and Draxx are my service animals so they are working generally all day for me. This is a chance for them to be dogs. They loved it so much. Darla especially because she’s been attacked 3/4x at the public dog parks which now causes her a lot of anxiety. Draxx is a 1 year old who just loves everything and anything. He loved all the trees to pee on, and the endless water. If I am traveling again down here I will definitely stop by. Emmitt N.

55This is a really wonderful space so close to home! I look forward to visiting more! I’ve had my rescue 4 years now (she’s 8.5 yo!) and we’ve never had the ability to be off leash. She also is dog/dog reactive so dog parks are a big “no”. This will be a great place for us. Love that it’s in the country and up against pastures and fields, a real treat for both of us.Heather B.

55We were so pleased with this space for our pups to run and play! They absolutely loved it and so did we! It was comfortable for us as well with cold water and snacks and a place to get out of the rain. Very nice space. We had to drive a bit but it was well worth it. Thank you so much! Desirae R.

55We have never had a bad experience at this place! I have written other more detailed reviews about what an amazing experience this always is for us, but it bears repeating. This little sniffspot is an oasis and haven of rest for both me and my reactive dog. We're both equally excited to go and both equally disappointed when our time is up. We may have to start booking two hours in a row! Thanks for hosting such a sanctuary with your furry (and not-so-furry) friends.Mary B.

FAQ about our Chilton 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.
