55This was a great fully fenced area for my dog. Some grassy areas, some tree areas, tall fence, and a poop bags and trash provided. Very clean in that regard. Some dirt areas due to spring, but my boy loves it. Plenty of room to run and fetch and lots of things to sniff. I love being able to bring my reactive pup to a place I know we can both relax and he can be a dog and we can work on training.Jessica P.

55My dog had an amazing time at Emerald Field! Easy to get to, very private, fully fenced and secure. It rained yesterday but it wasn’t muddy. There weren’t any blind spots so I could keep an eye on my pup. I live in an apartment and I don’t do dog parks, so my dog never gets to full on run. I plan to come here every week now!!!Tessa V.

55Well-maintained, open field with secure fencing and some areas with trees for extra sniffs. Spigot for water creates a fun muddy area, but the rest of the field is grassy and dry. While we were there, a trio of people getting horseback riding lessons went right along the fence line, so just a heads up if your pup is interested in large animals! Dogs barking from the host (dog boarding facility) were definitely audible, so something to note if your dog is very sensitive.Kei T.

55Great first experience with Sniffspot! It was extra chilly that day, so the frosty ground meant less mud! On the flipside, there were a couple icy patches so watch out if you have an extra speedy puppy. Celine B.

55My friend and I brought our dogs here and they had a blast! Rolled around in the dirt, chased each other, and sniffed allllll the spots. My dog barked a ton at the dogs at the boarding facility but still had a good time.Mia H.

55This is a great area for dogs to run free. It is adjacent to a boarding kennel, but in a separate fenced area. We heard dogs barking for a few minutes, but they were far enough away that my pup did not even care. Fully, securely fenced. We all had a great time, plenty of room to run and explore. Definitely a spot worth visiting again. Also, it was very clean - no other dog poo even though it is a large area. Allison B.

55This was a great spot! We will definitely be coming back. The entire area was fenced and I never worried about Zooey getting out. The area was clean and well cared for. I was able to relax and bond with my puppy. There were noises she wasn't used to, so we were able to work on our training with distractions exercises. It was a wonderful time for us!Allison R.

55Excellent, clean, safe space for my reactive dog to run around. Despite the wet weather it wasn't muddy because of the nice ground cover they use. Their dog boarding facility is nearby but it's far enough apart that my dog didn't mind it at all. Nice host, easy to find, will definitely come back here! Emily S.

55Lots of space for running and sniffing. The field was clean, and there was a trash can available to clean up after the dogs. My girls had a great time exploring the whole area.Candace T.

55Super easy check in and parking. The space is perfect for fetch, and our dog had the best time sniffing around all the trees. We were able to hear dogs barking but I never saw them, and my dog wasn't bothered or distracted by it. Highly recommend this spot, we look forward to returning!Rodrigo H.

55Such a fun location, very woodsy but also so much room to run and play. There were extra toys and a water spicket. No one around for extremely far distances (just neighboring houses very far from fence line) so my reactive dog felt extremely comfortable the entire time. Can’t wait to head back on a sunny day as we went during a light rain and had plenty of tree cover when we wanted it. Just amazing!!! Kristyn S.

55This is a very large, very safe field that’s fully enclosed. Located beside a doggy daycare, and nestled in between rural homes, it’s very private. The owner has provided Chuck its and garbage can. There’s a water pump but not sure it was on when we visited; owner reminded us to bring water. Would definitely come here again! My only complaint is that it’s so popular you need to book well in advance. Caroline S.

FAQ about our Lake Forest Park 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.
