55It was a hot day and the trees on the property provided some much needed shade. Our dog enjoyed sniffing, rolled around and marked plenty of trees to his heart's content. It seemed like he had a calm, pleasant roam-around. He did get a bit distracted by the horses and sat by the gate. I think there were interesting smells outside the Sniffspot that were making him want to explore beyond the fence.Julia M.

55This is a beautiful field and I am thankful that Megan is willing to share it. There was a lot of shared for our warm summer evening. Megan put a lot of thought into making sure that the field is fully fenced so we didnโt have to be nervous about our pups leaving the field and could just let them run free for awhile.Zach S.

55There was lots of shade, which made our mid-day trip bearable and safe. The shaded area was perfect for my dog friend to follow her nose, the un-shaded field like area was perfect for playing with a toy and zooming around it was the best of both worlds. I canโt wait to go back Niko B.

55This was a great place to take my dog. It was clean, in a beautiful setting and it had plenty of room for her to run around and play fetch. The host even had fresh water, for my dog, and chairs for people to sit in. Definitely recommend. Kris R.

55We made our first visit today to Jasper Memorial Dog Park and it definitely wonโt be the last! The space is clean and well-fenced, with plenty of space to run and explore. We got to meet our gracious host, Megan, and enjoyed learning about the park. Chairs and clean water are available which we appreciated. Bosco got to chase a ball and follow his nose to his heartโs content. We had a safe place to do some training exercises with him to improve his recall skills. A very positive first experience with Sniffspot!Marcia I.

55The host was incredibly kind and gracious. I thoroughly enjoyed the quick chat we had and am so thankful for the respect felt in regards to my dogโs needs/boundaries. This is a beautiful space for reactive dogs to have the freedom to explore and enjoy some off leash time. The area where the Sniffspot is located is clearly marked, the fencing is all intact/encompassing the area, and the space is well maintained and clear of hazards. Alaina T.

55Really enjoyed this place! Lots of space to run around & sticks to chew on. She has water buckets out & a poop bucket for your convenience. She also has some chairs out there for you to sit on. She was super friendly & welcoming! Not too far out of town & had great scenery. She was getting some more wood chips to help with the mud so people can come use her space in the winter! I will be back :) Jessica B.

55I havenโt been to this spot since the beginning of the year and was happy to see there were a few newer additions like a trash can for poop bags, water buckets, and mesh fencing on the gates to block the little holes. Great spot, Niko thoroughly enjoyed it! Alisha E.

FAQ about our Oakland 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.
