55Very helpful tips and directions for first visit, lovely wide cleared paths for walking through the pasture. Cleared lane was great for throwing a ball without it getting lost in the snow!Nicole W.

55The location is amazing & very convenient to me!
They have taken a tractor to clear pathways so you can walk alongside your furry friend withOUT getting snow in your boots.
I just wanted to say how amazing it is to have people willing to share their beautiful land in order to give our animals a place to run freely and safely.
I’ve tried the whole “dog park” things and at the end of the day you never know what other peoples dogs intentions are & sometimes even your own! You gave a safe and beautiful spot for my dog to run freely and to burn off her energy so thank you! I will 100% be a regular here! Nevada B.

55Spring is here and this sniffspot is green and woodsy with lots for the pups to explore. The owners have done great things with the road to the back field - the wire fence has been removed and they've been tidying up some of the underbrush. Highly recommend this location for a nice jaunt. There is a little bit of a pond at bottom of the hill by the entrance, so if your dog, like mine, enjoys the squishy feeling of mud between their toes, you might want to bring a towel...Robbi B.

55This spot was great! There was a lot for our dogs to explore and we saw so many different kinds of birds! This would be a great place to let your big dogs off leash and just run and romp! And there’s fencing along the property lines to keep your dogs safe from going on other’s property!jenna C.

55This was lovely. Well worth the drive for our 2 dogs, 1 of which is a little unpredictable with other dogs. Easy to find. The ground is quite uneven so if you are an ankle roller like me just watch your step and let your dogs have the time of their lives. Sandi W.

55What a great big field to romp in! The grass was quite tall, which made for good entertainment watching my pup bound over it. Lots of thistles too unfortunately but a little better in the main track path. My pup loved jumping in and out of the swampy puddles - just be prepared to get your feet wet because you can’t always tell where they start. We will be back. Amanda S.

55We visited today with 2 dogs, one who a rescue with reactivity towards other dogs so finding a safe space to let her run and practice recall can be challenging.
Janice, the owner, is friendly and quick to answer questions.
There is plenty of open space which makes it easy to keep track of the dogs. There are only a few wildlife trials in the open area so tall boots are a necessity. The snow definitely makes for a good workout for both humans and dogs. If one didn’t want to walk as much there are several high points to watch the dogs run from. My 7 year old wanted to explore though, so we got nearly as much exercise as the dogs!
We would definitely visit again! Margorie K.

55Today was our first time visiting and we really enjoyed ourselves! We have 3 socially awkward dogs so it's hard to go places without always being on guard but we were able to do that today. There isn't any signage other than telling you where to park but it was easy enough to find (just up the hill as instructed prior to booking) and other than the trail leading up to the field area the walking trails aren't groomed but that isn't a must for us - we quite enjoyed trekking through the deep snow and the dogs had a blast zooming through it!
The field provides a nice open area to play with your dog and keep an eye on them while you hike but there are bushes off to the side that lead into the neighbors lots so you want to make sure your dog has good recall and won't take off. Hoping to come play again soon! We loved this place and it doesn't get much better than 40 acres. Huge thank you from us (Teagan and Beck) and love and licks from 3 very tired boys - Marcus, Tucker, and Jasper 🐶.Teagan N.

FAQ about our Mill Woods 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.
