55Road to sniffspot: narrow
Parking: easy to find and signed
Entrance: easy to find and signed; however, ensure you secure the entrance as a curious pup can get out.
Sniffspot: great with both shade and sun areas and fantastic to play hide and seek with your pup.
Toys: I didn't see any I normally bring my own so it wasn't a deal breaker for us
Water: available and host has a bowl as wellRoberto M.

55Beautiful spot out in fall city. 3 acres completely fenced! You will feel like your in a beautiful forest with trails, but completely fenced so if your pups want to wander and explore no worry’s. The host is so very nice he came out and put his beautiful german Shepard away in the house as i had requested and brought out fresh water for my pups! Highly recommend!Denise R.

55We loved this property. Binkey had so much fun! The area is wooded, so we had some shade and I was so happy to let him just run around free in this new area where he can sniff and enjoy himself without worrying about other dogs or other people. It's a huge fenced area. The owner was very nice and came to say hello and ensure his dogs were inside. We didn't hear or see them at all. We loved it and plan to come back again!Smitha N.

55This is nice, quiet, shaded area for the dogs to sniff about in. My four had a good time exploring and I felt safe that it was fully fenced. There are three paddocks and we explored two. The third was a little too overgrown so the gate couldn't be opened. The host was very pleasant and helpful. Ailynn C.

55First off, it was our first time and we love the concept of SniffSpot and we really enjoyed the time spent here. This is a sprawling large area with lots of trees. It's very natural, not much disturbed and my doggu felt like he is walking the woods. Booboo really loved it!
Some things to keep in mind - I had to tie the gate correctly. That was easy, but important to do.
Parking was easy and close by and I found the place easy, but when getting out, need to be careful turning around.
There are various areas to go explore and you just need to make sure you can always know where your dog is and call them from anywhere. They can have lots of fun here and you can just relax on the chair. Pretty cool!Molly D.

55Great spot! Lots of space to run around and sniff! It’s hard to find a large properly enclosed space like this one. We wanted to avoid the sun on a hot day, and this was the perfect shaded place for that!Gillian E.

55This spot is fully fenced with no animals around at all which was great for my reactive dog! The space is woodsy and the ground is uneven. I wore hiking shoes, which I would recommend. We had a nice time in this private wooded yard.Lindsay B.

55Easy to find, large fenced in yard. The area had different terrain (tall grass area in the front with forested area in the back). My dog spent most of the time running around, smelling everything. There was an empty fended in area to the side, but no other animals were in it.
We didn’t see any people or dogs. The host left out a water dish for the pups.Cassandra C.

55Delilah and I had a great time. Large area with enough tree cover even if it’s sprinkling/lightly raining. Quiet and peaceful. Uneven (not unsafe) terrain which is great for playing ball and hide and seek. Truly, it was a great start to our morning. Thank you! ✨Kalee K.

55My dog had the time of his life here! We brought some toys for him to play with, but he didn't care about them at all--he was having too much fun running around smelling things. This was a great place to play hide-and-go-seek, too. We didn't get to meet the host, but the place was easy to find, and the directions were perfect. Sara E.

55The space was very natural with large evergreen trees, small hills and some blackberry brambles. The site was very clean (no poop) and our dog loved sniffing and moving around the space. It is somewhat large- not confining at all. The only concern was a few dug out spots where a medium dog could fit through to escape into another fenced area. The dug out spots may have gotten larger since it was previously written up, so we had to keep our eyes on it. We would definitely return! Alicia K.

FAQ about our Ephrata 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 Ephrata?
There are 6 dog fields in the Ephrata area. The most popular dog field is Rodeo City Ranch. 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 Ephrata area range from $10.0 and $10.0. The least expensive dog field is Rodeo City Ranch. The most expensive dog field is Rodeo City Ranch. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
