55We brought our 3 beagles and they really had the time of their lives running around the property and jumping in the water. Delbert was a great host and we look forward to visiting again. Brandon A.

55Our dogs had the greatest time that ended with them promptly falling asleep in the car. Our dogs got dirty but there was shampoo and a hose before a car ride home. The host is so kind and it’s a lovely place. There’s water for them to drink and plenty of benches. Chris M.

55Winnie had a great time sniffing and running around! The trails were really well maintained and there was plenty of fresh water and shade for her to stay cool between sniffs. Can't wait to go back!Jon R.

55This is our third time going to Max’s Playground. It never disappoints! The owners leave fresh water throughout the property, it’s well maintained, and probably my girls’ favorite place in the world. Thank you for sharing your beautiful piece of property with us and our dogs! We enjoy it as much as the dogs do. ❤️Andrea C.

55Beautiful, well maintained property with plenty of open space and wide, even paths winding through the woods.
The dogs had a grand time exploring off-leash, and they really appreciated the fresh water!
Delbert was the perfect host - we will be back. Highly recommend.... oh, and look for the little "treasures"hidden throughout the trails. Aadron R.

55This place is the perfect spot for your dog to run and play! The entire property is completely fenced in so you get the peace of mind while your dog gets the freedom. Max’s Playground has everything you need so you don’t have to pack a thing, water bowls, toys, and even a shampoo station so you can allow your dog to have all the messy fun they want and still go home clean. We will definitely be coming back again! Kaitlin S.

55Max’s Playground is wonderful. Dilbert has truly supplied anything you or your dogs may need. Waste bags, shampoo and a bathing station, towels, fresh water stations, balls. It’s fully fenced so you don’t have to worry if recall is not your dog’s strong suit. Beautiful property and loved meeting and getting to know the owner a little bit! Rachel W.

55Very big area, more than enough to explore. My dog didn’t even know where to start. It was a hotter day, so he spent most of his time hanging out in the many shady spots. The host mowed a nice path to denote the property and let us have free reign of the area. The area is partially fenced but even the areas that aren’t fenced have dense shrubbery, so unless your dog is a super explorer, I don’t suspect he’ll be getting away. Diana L.

55Please don’t overthink visiting this spot.
If my Goldie could write this review he would say that after he was sprayed down he ran into the field to enjoy taking in all the different smells and finding the steady stream of water. He played fetch until he lost both toy balls at one point. I can recall him each time with no problem in this large field. When I return I will bring a backpack to help carry more of his toys, a towel to dry off and light weight water bowl to take on the move. After shampooing him at home I found he carried only seeds on his fur and no unwanted critters. The host is very friendly and approachable. The necessary things were provided for our visit. I had questions before and after my visit which were all answered. I’m confident this will be your experience as well! Callie and Papa G.

55If you’re considering booking this spot do it! The owner Colin is very nice and answered all my questions in a timely manner. My dogs are socially selective with people they don’t know and dog reactive so it was SO refreshing to have a spot to call ours for a full hour to say my dogs had a blast would be an understatement we will definitely be returning!Kerrigan T.

55Today was another great visit at Colin’s field! We went straight to the back and played fetch. He loved rolling in the grass only getting up to walk to another area and roll there too. I’ve learned from my last visit how much he doesn’t want to leave so I walked him back on his leash. Colin’s field is so large my large breed dog definitely gets his much needed exercise. Colin’s place is very clean and he has created trails where you can simply walk your dog on a leash if you like. It’s truly a large clean field where he can be off leash or be walked on the leash. I’ll definitely come back and take a stroll here if I want to walk my dog other than going to a park because he gets his sniffs in and I can still walk him comfortably and privately on the leash.Callie and Papa G.

FAQ about our Lafayette 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.
