55Not only is the space huge and well kept, Janice is also an amazing host. She was extremely prompt and helpful when I ran into some billing issues. She was kind and a pleasure to deal with!
40 acres has been such a gift for us, as we have a big, sweet guardian breed who gets aggressive towards unfixed male dogs, but loves to play. We never thought we would be able to find such a big, affordable space to bring him to play with his frisbee and his friends so close to the city.
Thank you Janice for providing your space for so many dog owners! Pierce B.

55Hi- My husband brought one of our Aussie's to Old Yellers. He loved the experience, and sent me video evidence that our dog, Figgy, loved it as well. I can't wait for the ice to melt a little bit so that I can take both of my dogs for a walk there. Thank you, Janice, for making Old Yellers available :)Annie D.

55I really liked this spot because it is just 15 minutes from where I live and it is so close that we can add it to the list for nice wide open spaces for Pluto. Amanda A.

55This is not a city walking path - it’s excellent for tromping through with some waterproof shoes. Dogs had a great time & as others have suggested - bring a towel for them! We enjoyed the space and the quiet. All fenced in aside from the front near the entrance (unless we missed a section somewhere). Adina B.

55Always love this spot! VERY MUDDY right now in some areas, though. Be prepared for your dog to roll if off leash, bring towels, & plan to bathe afterwards! Joss M.

55Super grateful to have a lovely field for our dogs to safely play in just outside the city; really nice for reactive dogs who get a chance to run freely.
The water is pretty smelly though, so I'd advise giving them a bath afterwards. The host provides toys, bug spray, and chairs for your convenience!Lu C.

55A great place to tire out your pup! Could hear some other dogs and birds but they seemed distant enough that it wasn’t a distraction. Can’t wait to come again, especially once it’s summertime!Riya D.

55Really enjoyed the walk today with my beasts. My only wish is if there could have been more paths, the snow is pretty deep (snowshoes would be a hoot!).
Love that there were two long lines I could use to safely explore the spot first.
The trees also help to block some wind so that’s also lovelyCarly A.

55Beautiful area! Clean and easy to access. The signs were clear where to go, heard some dogs barking in the distance but that was all, no other concerns or disruptions. Absolutely will be back! Sandy H.

55My dog loved this space! She loves running through trees, and needs a large field to lap when she has zoomies. This place has both! Between the grass and signs of large wildlife that sometimes pass nearby it is a sniffing dog's dream!Tawnya K.

FAQ about our Gwynne 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.
