55Rory and I had so much fun here!! One of the best sniffspots we've found!! We loved our personalized snack bag and Rory found her new favorite ball in the bench :) It was perfectly clean and there were so many amenities provided. For our reactive friends, we only saw one dog being walked on the street but it was right at the beginning and so we just circled the block (which we're very used to)! No other distractions for the whole hour - truly a reactive pup's paradise. We hope to be back as much as our schedule allows!!! Katie S.

55We had a great time. Very secure. The only negative is under the bird feeder that Piper continued to back to eat the droppings on the ground. Nice quiet environment
Thank you we will be back Cathleen R.

55Fantastic first visit to a SniffSpot location. We were looking for a place where fellow pup pals could play while daycare was closed for the week. Loved the extra touches with water and snacks. We’ll absolutely plan a longer visit next time! Julia G.

55I couldn't help but get emotional bringing both my dogs here for the first time today because they were so, so happy. They ran for almost the full hour. This is the big backyard that I have always wanted for them. The hosts have a storage bench on site that has fresh water, clean bowls, poop bags, treats (for both humans and dogs), first aid, and even little baggies of treats specifically for my two dogs. It was so sweet. The host was quick to respond to the questions I had before I arrived and was very kind. The large yard is very securely fenced and clean. I will be bringing my dogs here a few times a week! I can't recommend it enough. Christine M.

55Perfect spot for our new rescue dog, Millie to run around and play- love how much space there is for the dogs to run around and very secure fencing to make sure they can’t escape. Millie is a pro at wiggling her way out of fences so we were very happy to be able to relax and not worry about her. The bench full of toys, treats, and any other things you could need is amazing as well! All you need to do is show up, everything else you could want is already there. Katherine C.

55Great spot! Felt very secure and safe for my reactive dog. The space was clean, and large enough for a good chuck-it throw. My dogs had a great time doing two of their favorite things, sniffing and fetching! The treats for the dogs (and humans) was a really nice touch. Thank you! Elena O.

55Moose (my dog) and I LOVE coming to this spot! Liz, Alix, Matty, and Shawn are so kind and welcoming—and they leave the sweetest surprised for people & pups! In addition to being a fun, space place for my dog to romp, it's also beautiful. The backyard overlooks a gorgeous wooded area, and if you're a bit of a birder like me, you'll love all the winter birds out and about right now. Would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a large, private, enclosed yard for their dog to play in!Samantha D.

55LOVE the human/dog bug spray. Didn’t find one tick on either of us. And the spray smelt good and felt way less gross than usual bug spray. They’re so accommodating it’s amazing Abby H.

FAQ about our Dover 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 Dover?
There are 24 dog fields in the Dover area. The most popular dog field is Golden Dog Playground. 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.
