55Love seeing this Spot in all seasons! The wildflowers, wild grapevine, and greenery is beautiful. Seriously appreciated the water cooler for the pups and the bug spray for me! Only a few die-hard gnats tried to buzz me & the pups were mostly unbothered by insects. Did pull a tick or two off one of the dogs, so make sure to check everyone thoroughly - dang things are everywhere! We'll be back with the next cool front. Thanks for having such an amazing Spot!!Libby B.

55First time visiting during the evening, did not disappoint! The pups saw deer, turkeys and los of rabbits just on the other side of fence. Zooming around the 3 acres chasing their toys was a blast! Tess V.

55This. Place. Is. Great.
I took my pup Rowan here and we had a great time. There's so much to check out. There's paths under the shade of trees, undergrowth - which means plenty of places to sniff, a nice central area with a box of toys for your dog, some bug sprays and sunblock for yourself, seating, and even a screened in pavilion in case the bugs are too much. The pavilion is for humans only though! They have a cute little fence around it to deter the pups from trying to explore it.
One of our favorite spots was a long and wide dirt path that lead from the entrance to the central area that was perfect for playing fetch. I had to rein in using the Chuck-It a little bit as I was concerned about accidentally winging the ball into the undergrowth, but the dirt path was packed and hard enough that the ball would bounce along it for a long way.
We circled the perimeter several times, getting our steps in, and we didn't encounter any other dogs or humans around the fenceline although there are other buildings in sight on at least one side.
I know we'll be back here again.Nate K.

55This place is a dream!
We have dogs who don’t care about playing with other dogs and love to explore on trails, and they had the best time wandering around sniffing and enjoying a beautiful serene space.
Everything you could possibly need (toys, sunscreen, bug spray, water) is provided and thoughtfully arranged by a shelter for humans to sit in. Directions getting to the gate to enter were very clear and easy to follow.
Thank you for sharing your space for dogs and humans to enjoy. We will be back soon! Brianna S.

55It was an absolutely beautiful night to take the puppers for a sniff-sploration. One of the BEST spots, in our opinion- kept the dogs busy with noses to the ground. Enjoy seeing it in all seasons as the leaves & flowers change. Thank you! Libby B.

55This spot is awesome! Little trails to explore, lots of places to sniff, toys if your dog is into that. Layla loved her time here; she ran all over the place & it was great for recall training, as there’s wooded areas to play hide & come. We’ll definitely be back! Alicia Z.

55One of the best sniffspots, in my opinion! Tons of space for your pup to run around and for you to walk around too and get some steps in :) Tons of shaded areas, but also perfect grassy spots to soak up the sun if you wanted to!
The commute to this location is 30+ minutes from where I live, and I ended up showing up late to my reservation, and Gary/Stacy messaged me and offered to let me stay 15 minutes past my time slot since the next visitors wouldn’t be there right away. It was so kind of them to offer and I really appreciated it 😊 This spot is totally worth the drive for me and my reactive boy, Santo. We don’t go to dog parks so this is the perfect place for him to run around off leash, smell all the smells, and enjoy himself in peace. The privacy is perfect and I felt relaxed being there, knowing I didn’t have to worry about any triggers for him.
We will definitely be back! ❤️Avery H.

55We had another fun day at this Sniffspot! Chuck-it throwing sticks and balls were provided, and my dogs had such a fun time sniffing around the woods. There was also a garbage can and poo bags to make our experience more convenient! We will definitely be back next time we visit Minnesota. Jessi L.

FAQ about our Dayton 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.
