55We took our goldendoodle here on Sunday and she had a great time. Loads of space to run around and she loved the water!
No other dogs were there at our time slot so we had the place to ourselves.
Great place! Will definitely bring her here againBilly C.

55Perfect spot with very accommodating hosts! They even left towels out in case our pup got too wet! There's a small field we they can run and a small pond with floaty dog toys! Can't wait to visit again! Amee L.

55Always glorious! And our little group of Welshies always has a wonderful time. This time, we had a 6 month-old puppy with us and the "big" dogs encouraged her to swim. Debbie E.

55This spot is a great for water dogs! My new rescue pup swam for the first time and it felt safe place for my dog and I to be. The host is thoughtful to have towels there to dry off doggies! I’d go back again!Loni B.

55Excellent time. My Doberman had never been exposed to water and he went with me! He is usually a velcro dog but he did not want to leave Alison's. Booking the next session and can't wait.Kim R.

55I’ve had this spot on my wishlist forever and finally decided to check it out, and I’m so glad I did! My dog thoroughly enjoyed the pond, which kept her entertained for the entire 90 minutes. We almost forgot to use the rest of the property, which includes a vast field for fetching. The pond is great because it’s shallow on the outside but deep enough in the center for my dog to get some swimming in (she’s a medium sized golden retriever). I can’t wait to come back with a few of her friends and so they can splash around the pond together. It will be perfect for summer !🤍🐾💦🐕
I also loved the gazebo with the covered seating. It provided lots of shade on a very hot day.
Note: there were chickens on neighboring properties, as well as a horse, but it’s a long distance away and fenced off securely. Sarah V.

55We had a great time here! Dogs had tons of room to run, including into the pond, which they loved!
And just a reminder, because I didn't read info closely enough, there are two gazebos available for use, the one by the pond, and another up by the house. And there were even towels provided! We'll definitely be returning! breanna b.

55We had a great time. It was so nice to be able to let her out of the car and run around and enjoy the space. She had a great time with the water feature and kept herself entertained. It was nice to let her prance around the field and just keep a casual eye on her without stressing about other dogs or people. Katie I.

55Our new favorite Sniffspot! Everyone had a blast. Secure, clean, and beautiful during golden hour. With the pond and plenty of toys to distract them, it was manageable to keep my reactive pups away from the fence where neighbors were doing evening time chores with their dog. Thank you for sharing your space with us - can’t wait to come back!Courtney U.

FAQ about our Healdsburg 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.
