55This was a great experience for our older blind dog Ely, a retriever who loves to swim with his whole heart and soul. He can no longer tolerate activities like WaterBark and having this private swimming pond he could have to himself was just what I have been looking for. Will definitely be taking him again.Dianna V.

55We had a blast at Allison's sniffspot. The water was sooo fun for our pup! We had a little snaffoo finding the gate remote, but that was eventually solved with a few messages.Jenn W.

55Great spot with a person made pond in-which my dog Phil would not get out. He loved every second he was there. The host were very off hands and we had little interaction with them. Would highly recommend this place for anyway in the area or even passing through. Location was a stones throw off highway 101. Eric S.

55We had one hour of non-stop play with our pup! This was his first experience swimming and once he got comfortable he would leap from the sides to retrieve a toy. Fun to watch. The pond was perfect and just deep enough so that he could swim. Appreciate that it was aerated. Didn't feel like we needed to give him a bath after swimming. There was plenty of space for throwing the frisbee and ball. Instructions to enter and exit were very clear. We would definitely like to return!Lisa H.

55Alison’s is our favorite Sniffspot! There’s plenty of running room, a mud-free pond with shallow end for dogs learning to swim, and a comfortable shady deck for the humans. We have become regulars with our gang of Welsh Springers. Laura C.

55This was a great spot!! The pond was big enough for my water loving dogs to swim and chase sticks. And a big enough yard for them to run on land. The gazebo provided shade and poop bags ere provided incase you forget them. Krista D.

55We all had an absolute blast at this new to us SniffSpot. Three of the hounds & BC just loved wading in the pool & wandering the large grass areas, lots of shade areas to sit. Alison & Mike are super responsive & caring hosts we will most definitely be back 😎Anne S.

55Our dog Nova had a blast! She loved splashing and running around in the pond. There were plenty of balls and toys for us to throw for her and a good size field for her to run around. The gazebo provided plenty of shade and was a nice area to take a break from the heat! Kiona P.

55The property is amazing! Lots to sniff and the perfect swim! Appreciate the easy instructions and amazing communication.
Tiny dogs (13 pounds or so) can slip under the entrance gate.
Neighbor (I think?), riding his bike with two black labs off leash, made two passes on the road stopping at the gate and loitered. A bit antagonistic to dogs off leash in a secure sniff spot.
Appreciate the property owners again for quick response and amazing property. The nerds and I appreciate you. Corin P.

55This was our very first Sniffspot visit. We had a great time! Alison was super communicative and made it an easy process. The dogs and kids had a wonderful time. There was a lot to keep them busy! We couldn’t find the fresh water for bowls, but we didn’t want to intrude on their space. Everyone definitely needed a bath afterward! So fun! Susan A.

FAQ about our Kenwood 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.
