55We always have such a fun time here, and truly appreciate the extra details the hosts have thoughtfully included, from floating water toys, to towels, to bug spray, to the hose at Club Zoomies for fresh water. Thank you, Tim and Brenda! This is a special spot, and we are so grateful you share it with us 💕Aubbie B.

55We had another really great visit to this beautiful Sniffspot. My dog is reactive (to people, cars, bikes, you name it) and is also very sensitive to noise, and we heard no loud noises while we were there (on a Sunday afternoon). We also ventured out onto the DNR land and saw no one there. My dog was able to relax and just enjoy being in the woods! Like everyone else here, I heartily recommend this Sniffspot and thank the owners for letting us use it.Sara E.

55What a great spot to explore! So much to do.., there’s space to throw the ball, or explore the trail or swim, this place has it all. We had a really great time and although it was quite a drive for us to get there, it was totally worth it. Will definitely be back!Debie F.

55AMAZING Sniff Spot. Peaceful trails and a field for play, including toys, fresh water station, and seating. It is nicely maintained and all details considered. Although it’s quite a drive from Seattle, it’s a lovely escape with tons of sniff and play options. Oh, and easy to find and best signage I’ve encountered.Jodi S.

55Black Pond Farm is a magical place, and one of my top 2 favorite Sniffspots! We could come everyday and would never get bored or have the same experience twice. You can't help but laugh watching your pack race along the trails, splash through the streams, swim in the ponds, scramble over logs and giant glacial boulders, snoot and root under ferns, zoom around the pasture, and of course, roll in the mud 🤪 The pups have the time of their lives and you'll leave with joy in your heart. I appreciate how thoughtful the hosts are with the amenities and their generosity sharing this gorgeous place with us. We also use the trails out on the DNR land. We have never encountered anyone else.Aubbie B.

55It's a gorgeous property! I figured it is from the reviews, it's pretty far from us but I don't mind driving down there. We were kinda late, but that's ok, we will be back! Everything was clean and clear signs guiding you to the sniff spot pathways. So much to sniff! Saw horsies and bunnies! Lots of toys and bubbles for the pups, that's so nice of them! Had a bit of confusion in the instructions but Brenda was able to help with any questions I had. And Charlie is ready to guard their property with the statues they have on the rock wall😁Aley A.

FAQ about our Newman Lake 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 Newman Lake?
There are 21 dog fields in the Newman Lake area. The most popular dog field is Dawn to Dusk Doggy Domain. 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.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Newman Lake area range from $5.0 and $5.0. The least expensive dog field is Dawn to Dusk Doggy Domain. The most expensive dog field is Dawn to Dusk Doggy Domain. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
