55It was a the perfect spot for running, sniffing, playing and exploring. We took two small dogs and a medium sized dog and they had a blast!
There was a table and chairs for humans and there was a water bowl, pool, toys, treats and poop bags for all pup needs.
Thank you for making our first Sniffspot experience so wonderful! 🐾 Katie G.

55This is a great spot! Appreciate the human seating, mowed grass, shade, toys, water, and secure fencing. Buster is making the transition from ranch dog to suburban dog, and we are adding Sniffspot visits to our weekly routine so he gets to run like he used to on the ranch. He had a great time.Amy W.

55Really nice field to let the dogs run, they had a great time and I really appreciated the little touches like a small tub of treats, dog toys/balls and even a doggy pool to cool off in. Thanks so much for sharing your space!!Melanie M.

55This was a great spot for our pups and it was comfortable for us humans too. Two things that I want to flag
1. The doggie pool was mostly empty but had some vile water with green stuff in it. If your pup licks gross puddles, beware (and maybe anyone who fills it can make sure it's truly empty in the future)
2. Beware of foxtails growing in the dry season. They are mostly around the edges but there were some patches throughout the property Tami H.

55This is a former horse pasture, lightly sloped and fully fenced. Our dogs had a great time. The ground was clean and looks like others clean up after their dogs. They have a dog toy bucket and a hose available for water. We brought our own bowl. There is shade under a square canopy and a patio table + chairs. It was our first time there and won’t be our last!!K L.

55I missed the sign for the gate and turned in the driveway for 275. Make sure you look for the gate and Sniffspot sign on the right if you’re coming from Pepper Rd. It’s dry now but there is ground cover on most of the property that helps keep the ball clean.Ed B.

55It’s a great place for my puppy to play, not many cars go by & it’s fairly quiet. Only thing is that the space is not super flat surface but it’s fine for my dog to run around. Aquetzalli S.

55Loved the space- nice area for dogs to run, beautiful trees and setting. There is a dog next door that will bark at your dogs. My dogs could care less. They have beautiful horses and cows in the pasture next to the run. It’s a horse pasture so lot’s of dried horse manure. No seating except a tree stump so bring a chair if you need one. Fencing has large spaces so no dogs under 30lbs unless they have great recall. The fencing next to the horses is smaller so no dogs can get in that area. Julie B.

FAQ about our Glen Ellen 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.
