55We took our one year old lab, Norbert, here for his birthday and it was amazing! We started off in the field to the right of the parking area then went over to the fenced in area. The pond is well kept and has a nice dock. Norbert loved the pond!! There is even a nice picnic table off to the side. This area is secured with nice fencing, we didnโt have any problems and the electric fence was off when we arrived. After swimming for about a half hour we were able to walk through the woods on a nice open and well kept trail. Overall our experience at this sniff spot was amazing!! We did hear a few gunshots in the distance but our dog was able to recover very quickly :) Breanna K.

55This spot is fantastic. They have marked parking in front of the barn, and we were in the fenced area, which you access by walking around the front of the house and around the side, you will see the entry gate there. My boys loved the pond and open spaces to explore, along with the bit of wooded area to the side. Plenty of shade near the pond and a picnic table to sit at and relax a bit while your dogs explore. We will definitely be back. queenjessi1974 X.

55The dogs loved walking all around along the fencing and jumping in the water! The fence gates are definitely not small-dog proof but our St. Bernard and mastiff were contained pretty effectively. A great spot and weโll be back for sure! Emma S.

55This is beautiful location and I love the privacy. My pupper Karma loved it she ran through the wooded areas and eventually decided to play in the pond and flopped down in the mud. Definitely will recommend this spot to friends. Jeff F.

55We had a great time at this spot! We visited the fenced area (SniffSpot 2) and our dogs ran, played and explored for an hour and came home thoroughly tired & happy. Having the hose access was super helpful too after they were paddling in the pond. Weโll definitely be back!Jess K.

55There is a gap in the back fence that most dogs can slip through, but otherwise itโs a perfect location! Just be aware of the gap if you walk through the back woods trail, itโs at the very corner where a fence was knocked down at some point. We stayed by the pond area for the most part and I doubt the dogs would have gone there on their own, but we explored some.Aubree C.

55The dogs loved it! Tons of room to explore! Very private, if you have large dogs just make sure they donโt run into the wire around the pond! We will definitely come again!brian b.

55Tim was a wonderful host and the grounds are truly beautiful. The pond is much larger than I imagined and great for non weight bearing exercise. We will certainly be back. Cathy M.

FAQ about our Germantown 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.
