55We visited the pond a couple years ago and fell in love with it. We finally made it back today and the upgrades are tremendous. Due to the heat we stayed pretty close to the pond but can’t wait to get back when it’s cooler to explore more. Kelly D.

55Our favourite spot of all! We had 7 pups running around and they had such a great time playing in the water and around. I love the enlarged area- it gives you so much place to roam! Until the next time!Donata P.

55Our two dogs had the time of their lives, romping and running, exploring every part of the entire 5 fenced-in acres. Truly an awesome place to take your dogs. Remember to take along water and a traveling dog water dish with you. One of our dogs drank from the pond, but the other was fearful to approach the pond. You’ll get a great exercise walking around the pond with your dogs and following them over to the wide-open field. The host is very helpful and responsive. Will definitely visit again! Vicky N.

55This sniff spot is perfect for all dogs! It is fully fenced in and allows for lots of space to run and play. There is also a pond that the dogs can swim in and there are many great benches to sit on as well as picnic tables and swinging benches.Ryan B.

55Fantastic spot! My dog and I had so much fun exploring the pond, stream, amazing plantings, and huge mowed open field. We also tried out the add-on lure course and my dog had a BLAST! The space is idyllic and well-kept, and Kathy is so welcoming, we can’t wait to go back. Teri R.

55Kathy met us when we arrived to provide instructions on the gate and where to go. The property is beautiful and well maintained. Fence is secure with many benches for relaxing. Lots of room to run and the pond had many entry points. Reese had a blast exploring the meadow and swimming in the pond. Keep in mind if you schedule a bath, it is inside the home. We didn’t utilize this service. We had a blast and would definitely return! Thank you so much!! Dawn F.

55The pond is absolutely perfect! I love that there are spots that ease into the water so the dogs can splash and run if they don’t want to swim. Our family members and us combined have 5 dogs, so this was a super fun spot to get them together and watch them run and jump in the water. Highly recommend and we will be back. Bailey C.

FAQ about our Holtwood 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 Holtwood?
There are 74 dog fields in the Holtwood area. The most popular dog field is SLCCG "The 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.
