55Wonderful area!! Lots of room to run, holes to smell, and even a tiny bit of water to splash in. The directions were clear, location was very easy to find, the parking was straightforward, and simple to figure out where we needed to be! We accidentally surprised a few chicken hiding in the bushes (dog was on leash) on the way in, but thankfully no interaction was had beyond a jump scare. Near the end of our visit the chickens did end up coming into the offleash area, but we recalled and leashed the dogs as soon as we noticed (and before the dogs did). There was a spot on the fencing area in the far back that my 21lb Working cocker walked under, but she was recalled back into the hay field right away. My Husky slipped through the farm gate once into the chicken’s barn area (that’s connected to the offleash area), but thankfully the chickens were still in the lane at the time and he recalled immediately out as soon as we called him. Oh and the opening to the neighbors field is right beside where the two SniffSpot fields connect, so they sometimes wandered out for a moment when we walked back and fourth, but it wasn’t an issue calling them back into the right area. The dogs had fun, we had fun walking around, and no chickens were bothered! This is a perfect area for dogs to scent, run, play, and be silly as long as they have solid recalls and aren’t super interested in birds. We love this SniffSpot!Melisa P.

55Great spot for dogs that love to run and explore! Our 2 year old English pointer had a blast running the perimeter of the lower field and watching the birds. Will definitely be visiting again Annika P.

55Great place to wear out your dog. My girl loved putting her nose in every rodent hole and watching the birds flying overhead. Make sure you wear sturdy shoes as it can get muddySean S.

55Great open spot to run and play! There are a lot of holes to be careful of and I was a little confused of which fenced areas were the owners property but I believe we stayed in the right spot! Very quiet and all to ourselves!Alicia G.

55This was the first sniff spot we booked, and were very nervous and didn’t know what to expect. The place is located in Hillsboro, but it’s very secluded. Barbara have us a lot of details about how to find a way to the field and what rules to follow, it was very helpful! The field was huge and covered in grass, there were some holes in the ground from rodents and golphers, but my dog didn’t seem to notice. It also wasn’t muddy to my surprise. My dog absolutely loved running around catching frisbees. It’s nice to have this opportunity to see my dog happy, thanky for letting us use your property!Irina F.

55This space is really lovely and big. My dogs had a great time sniffing, exploring and attempting to hunt for rodents (didn't actually find any). We will definitely be coming back. A couple of things to note is that there is one gap in the fence into a neighbor's field (this is in the owner's notes). The other is that these are hay fields and the grass is a bit dry and prickly so dogs with sensitive paws might take some adjusting. One of my dogs is like this but she came around and had a fun time.Hannah M.

55Woodburn farm is a fantastic place to let your pup run! Tons of space, easy to find, and Barbara was a great host. While there is a water spigot available, we were glad we brought water and a bowl so Bud could cool down between sprints in the field. Our dog is a bit of an escape artist, so one of us played goalie to keep him from going through the open gate to the neighbor's field, but it wasn't a problem. The property is otherwise fully fenced. If you're going on a hot, sunny afternoon there's little to no shade. However, the sunshine was lovely and we really enjoyed our visit!Jennifer G.

55Another wonderful experience! My dog loved watching the chickens sneak around, and we had a great game of frisbee, the property was beautiful as always, i love that there are other animals at a safe distance my dog can look at and get used to. You can’t beat the price for such a beautiful play area!Mecca I.

55Barbara was great at communicating. She gave clear instructions on where to go and how to access the property. She even came out to greet us and make sure we were clear on where to go. Note: there is one area that opens to the neighbor's field that doesn't have a fence in case you have an escape artist.Ildiko C.

55Barbra gave clear instructions and communicated well. The map was helpful. She was understanding of my dog's triggers (prey drive) and gave great advice - we had no problems with the chickens or any field rats, but the heads-up was really helpful. Tons of space to roam and run, and a beautiful view too.Shannon W.

FAQ about our Cornelius 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.
How can I find dog fields in Cornelius?
There are 87 dog fields in the Cornelius area. The most popular dog field is Whistlestop Private Dog Park. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
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 Cornelius area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is Back Yard with 6 Foot Privacy Fence. The most expensive dog field is Back Yard with 6 Foot Privacy Fence. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
