55We really loved this place, we had a really good time. The property is very big so there’s lots to explore. This place is a great place for a hike not just for your pups but also for you. Our dog isn’t friendly to other people so this was an amazing place to let him off leash and not be worried about running into other people. We will definitely be back! Patrycja N.

55We greatly enjoyed this beautiful property and look forward to exploring it again in the future especially in the warmer months. Host was friendly and happy to chat about the sniff spots features. Main trail was very clear smaller side trails were less clear, and we were unsure if we still on the property (we probably were as we hadn’t walked that far). Erin A.

55My husband and I enjoyed our hike through Jeanette's beautiful property with our 4 aussies. My dogs were in their glory running, sniffing and exploring. Jeanette has a beautiful wide trail that loops around the lake. We also explored some off trail areas on the other side of the ridge and climbed some steep hills. You can hear some neighboring dogs barking when you enter their trail but don't worry they are fenced in. This sniff spot was worth our hour drive. We will definitely be back!Natasha & Greg W.

55I’ve tried a few sniff spots now but I could tell just from the way my dog’s tail was wagging and how smiley he was this is definitely one of his favourites!! This spot has it all!! Nice wide trails for your dog to run, water (which i can’t wait to be back for in the warmer weather), and just beautiful views all around! Not only that i can’t thank the host enough for how gracious she is! She provides you with a map of the area which is a huge help if you’re directionally challenged like me. My dog did run off when he saw a deer so keep that in mind, but a couple mins later he was back and looked happier than ever. Sooooo many smells for him he was truly in heaven! It’s an hour drive for us but we will be back as much as possible Dayna E.

55Amazing hostess, amazing location, amazing Sniffspot! Jeanette met us at the car when we arrived to hand us a map and some info before we set out on her trail. The trails were beautiful and snow-covered (quite the workout that I underestimated!) and our boys loved romping up and down the hills. Be careful of the prickly bushes off the trail! We cannot wait to come back in the warmer months and enjoy the pond!Charlene V.

55What an amazing setting for a hike with my two German Shepherd’s! Jeannette was warm and welcoming and met us when we arrived, providing a map outlining the main trail which was very wide and clearly marked. It circles around a small lake which is quite picturesque, and in which my 3 month old puppy decided to take a plunge! There are 2-3 side trails which we explored, and the main trail terminates at a dock near the main house. Ronin and Paisley loved our visit! Thanks Jeannette, we look forward to many future adventures!Vivek P.

55The property is beautiful - we had a fantastic visit! Jeannette was wonderful and made us feel so comfortable. We will definitely be regulars here. Such a wonderful area for our senior dog to explore. There was a barking dog in the area, but the dog was fully contained and we never saw it. The property owners let us know about this ahead of time and it didn’t bother our dog at all, but we are grateful for the communication. Megan B.

FAQ about our East York 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 East York area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is Dogland! 3 acres of farm dogging fun!. The most expensive dog field is Dogland! 3 acres of farm dogging fun!. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
