55The space was great! It was clean and there was no animals or noise in the area. It is near a busy street but the whole place is fenced in. The host greeted us and gave us a tour of the space. It has rained so our dogs enjoyed the little pond that was left from the rain. Will definitely be coming back again. Karolina V.

55Great space for dogs to run! Thoughtful touches include toys, balls, water, poop bags, and a shaded bench. The owner greeted us and gave us a tour before we let the dogs into the space. The dogs had a blast and we hope to be back again. Leticia S.

55The space was great and had lots of room for my dogs to run and play. So may things were available for the dogs like clean water, balls, toys, waste bags, etc. There were places for us to sit while they played which was also a great touch. The host was friendly and informative. My dogs loved it and we’ll be back!Rocky R.

55Had a great time! A big fenced-in space for my dog to run around in with toys, water, and treats provided. Even a towel to wipe her down when she got muddy. Very friendly hosts, and even called in their sheep when my dog got a little *too* interested in them. Would visit again!Myisha H.

55We had a wonderful time! The hosts were very kind and made us feel welcome. After a brief run down of the property/amenities the dogs were off to sniff and explore. I was never concerned for my dogs' safety as the fence was adequately secured. We will definitely be back! Ashley H.

FAQ about our Nicolaus 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 Nicolaus?
There are 23 dog fields in the Nicolaus area. The most popular dog field is Wide Open Space. 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 Nicolaus area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is Dogtime. The most expensive dog field is Dogtime. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
