55Rio & I bought our dog trainer so I'd feel more comfortable enclosed in fence. Katy's Place provided the disruption from other animals, dogs humans and was a perfect hour for training. She feels very comfortable in Katy's yard & besides of the fact we were freezing, it would have been a perfect visitCindy L.

55Our super rambunctious pup had a great time. Large and nicely fenced in. Toys and water bowl were provided which was super helpful since I had forgotten our water bottle at home. Host was super quick with communication. Would definitely recommend! Amelia K.

55Great space! we went in the evening and our two dogs loved it! They are apartment dogs so they really needed that exercise and Katie’s backyard was perfect for that. She made sure I knew it might be a bit muddy before going in since the snow was melting. Really great spot! Rebeca R.

55Had an awesome time at Katie's place! It was clean and fully enclosed as described. We just got a new puppy who is highly anxious/a bit scared of humans so this controlled environment was perfect. He got to bond with our other dog a bit and let his true goofy personality show.
Easy access. Easy parking. Quiet and lovely neighborhood. We are excited to come back.Mason W.

55Rio knows as soon as I get her bag out of the closet that we're going to Katie's. She gets so excited. She truly knows the directions in her head😘 But now she's become curious why we can't do the things at home that we can do @ Katies🤣Cindy L.

55Amazing space, plenty of room for my 105 dog to run around, very well maintained. The one thing I’ll mention (even though it’s in the pictures) is that the fencing is chain link, so if you have a reactive dog who fixates on things far in the distance, this spot may be higher risk for you. That said, we only saw birds and one squirrel, so no triggers!Tom R.

55This was our first sniff spot experience and our dogs had a blast running around this sniff spot. Long yard is great for fetch and recall practice. Quiet neighborhood. Katie A.

55Our pups hadn’t seen each other since they got adopted at the kennel at 2 months old last May. They had SO MUCH FUN! We tried to extend the visit because they loved it so much but it didnt allow us. We were there an extra 30 mins and I would love for the owner to get in contact with me so we can pay for the extra time. Thanks again!!Auna M.

55My pups had a great time at Katie’s! We came in from the city and it was easy to get to and park. It was a nice, clean and big yard for them to run around to their hearts content! We will be back! Stefanie A.

FAQ about our Lombard 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.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Lombard area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog field is Friendly yard near Lincoln Park. The most expensive dog field is Friendly yard near Lincoln Park. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
