Peaceful mini-retreat with field & woods | Sniffspot
55My pup and I really enjoyed this spot. It's big enough to roam around in but not big enough to get lost in. Lots of space for the pup to sniff and run and play. The host is very kind, and greeted us for our first visit with a little intro that was helpful. I felt safe and it was beautiful and relaxing.Elizabeth M.

55Such a cute little place! We enjoyed the woods and the sound of the water! Ares had a great time running around. The highlight was feeding the goats! We brought apples and they became our new best friend! Grace was a wonderful host as well. Tina B.

55This is was our first sniff spot outing and it couldn’t have been better. Beautiful location and all the fun 2 Golden Retriever pups could handle. Pretty sure this was the best day of their lives. Fully fenced so I felt safe letting them explore everywhere. Great place to practice recall and other skills we haven’t mastered yet.
Grace was very kind and thoughtful and it was nice to be greeted and know exactly where to go. Goats were an added bonus and pups enjoyed saying hello :) Kellie G.

55We had such a great time exploring the property. Even though it started to rain shortly after we arrived, there was plenty of tree canopy in the forest for the doggies to explore without getting soaked. Great sniff spot — clear signage, parking, supplies and toys. Excellent hosts! We will be back!Lisa H.

FAQ about our Malahat 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 Malahat?
There are 10 dog fields in the Malahat area. The most popular dog field is Aspen Springs Dog Park In Malahat. 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.
