55We had a great time and our two sister labs loved running and sniffing. A good plane to train their recall because so many distracting smells plus the steam! My friend had a little trouble getting her dog leashed up because she loves the water and didn't want to go home. So we will probably leash up before getting so close to leaving next time. There are 4 cute cabins and outhouses that were clean and didn't smell at all. We didn't need to use them. There was so much space for the girls to run that we will have to stay longer to explore more next time. Grace, the host was very nice and came out to meet us the first time we came. She had balls and poop bags and trash cans scattered around. We will be back. I brought a couple of towels just in case. Labs do like water.
We were so busy with our dogs and exploring that we didn't think to take pictures this time but will take pictures next time. Lou S.

55A great spot! My two huskies loved exploring here! With two high prey dogs, i did keep them on leash until we were up the hill out of sight of any goats or turkeys 😃 They had a refreshing dip in the stream before we left and were quite happy about that! We will be back!Becky O.

55This spot was AMAZING. Grace was a very welcoming host and this place is a dog's paradise. Sooooo much space for Percy to roam around with zero worries on where he might end up exploring. TCTaba X.

55If Sniffspot had The Sniffy’s this would easily win “best multi-use spot under 10 acres”. I’m officially obsessed with this property. WOW. Would def recommend booking for at least two hours. Lots of trails, water access, hills to climb, and fully fenced! This place is the dream! I can’t wait to come back and rent one of the cabins through Hipcamp! So awesome!! And Grace is the kindest! She came out and met us, showed us how to access the official area and left a treat for us too. We can’t wait to come back!!Olga P.

55As always, just the best spot around! Our three dogs just have the best time. It's so nice to be able to relax and worry about running into other people or dogs, as two of our dogs are reactiv Thanks again, Grace!Lisa M.

55We really enjoyed our visit at this Sniff Spot. The dogs had a good time romping around the trails and trees. Bonus was the creek running through the site where the dogs could cool off and get a drink. Especially appreciated the picnic tables where we could take a rest and drink some water. Would definitely recommend this Sniff Spot! Rebecca S.

55Grace was so nice! She greeted us outside as it was our first time at a Sniffspot. Grace was all ready for us including my name on a welcome chalk board. The grounds were bountiful with space and a river for the dogs to romp in. Grounds were also very clean. Grace left us dog treats and human treats on my car door handle for a parting gift. Angela C.

55We had an AMAZING time at ‘Hike up the mini forest’!! This was our first Sniffspot experience and it was so much fun 🤩. Trails all around, creek access, outhouses, and benches for breaks! Oh, and thanks for the treats at the end Grace 🙏🏽😁. We look forward to coming back soon!!! Lorena K.

55Beautiful, special property! My pup had a blast and loved all the different types of terrain, especially the lovely creek! She actually managed to rinse herself off in the running water, which was very convenient for me—just had to dry her off. Highly recommend! I took the day off from work to bring my dog out and it was 100% worth it. Emily A.

FAQ about our Oak Harbor 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.
