55Oh my gosh! I cannot believe my luck that I get to visit this beautiful piece of land with my dogs. We had a blast. The water has a nice gentle grade (water is down this late in the summer) so the dogs loved chasing a stick and running through the shallows. The field and fire pit are so nice! They have thought of everything and I can’t say enough good. I think we will be making this a weekly summer outing for sure! I can’t wait to rent for a longer stretch of time so we can fully enjoy it. Jennie A.

55What a perfect spot to hang out and let the dogs play in the water! The river is calm in that area and there are both shallow and deeper spots depending on what your pup prefers. Kelcie B.

55Absolutely incredible spot- a new favorite of ours! The space is beautiful with lots of areas to roam around. One thing to note: if you’ve got a curious pup that likes to explore on their own, it’s helpful to have a good recall. Since the space is so big, there are occasional spots where my dog was out of sight. Just make sure you’ve got a decent recall and you will LOVE this spot! Tina C.

FAQ about our Erwin 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 Erwin?
There are 26 dog fields in the Erwin area. The most popular dog field is River Front Field 12 Acres. 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 Erwin area range from $10.0 and $10.0. The least expensive dog field is River Front Field 12 Acres. The most expensive dog field is River Front Field 12 Acres. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
