55Another great visit - dogs never want to leave. It’s nice because it’s fenced for goats so I feel good my dogs will stay in, then they just roam, sniff, explore, play fetch. It’s a beautiful place for me to relax too!David A.

55The mini forest is an outstanding SniffSpot. Fully fenced with a creek and plenty of room to run around for dogs and their humans. This was our second visit and we will be back for more.

55We’ve been a to few SniffSpots and this is by far the best one! It’s huge with so much room for you dog(s) to explore! We hiked all around and absolutely love it! The dogs drank out of the creek. They definitely didn’t want to leave. We are definitely coming back to this place as many times as we can. Marcela M.

55Wow! This place is amazing. A friend recommended it to us a few days ago. We almost cancelled because it was raining a little but decided to just go anyways. The owner is so sweet and greeted us upon getting there. She led us to the gate and pointed out the way to go. This property is a dream. We didn’t let our dog off leash but did bring a long line and let him go explore. If your dog had good recall they would be totally fine running off leash. There is one big hill at the beginning but totally manageable. We put the long line on our dog and let him just run ahead a little so he wouldn’t pull us down. We will definitely be going back! Thank you so much for opening up your place to us! It was so good for our dog and us to get out and not have to worry about other dogs. Lisa R.

55Wow- this spot is immaculate! It is large, private, securely fenced, beautiful, and well groomed. The trails are perfect for running and playing with your pup, and the exciting features of the lot are enough to keep you and your pup entertained for hours. I felt extremely secure with my semi reactive dog. Grace went above and beyond as a host, with a very adorable welcome and easy to follow instructions. My tired pup and I could not recommend this spot enough! Steph C.

55We had so much fun at this sniff spot! Our dogs ran and played the whole hour! There was plenty of places to sit and relax but it was also so much fun to explore with the dogs. The owner was one of the sweetest hosts ever and provided us with extra poop bags! Alicia N.

55A lovely sniffspot! Lots of different areas to sniff and explore. Also, we really appreciated all the clearly marked parking/walking areas as well as the sweet welcome sign for me and my dog!
One thing to note is the fencing is not 100% fenced (a few gaps here and there) and it has gaps within it, so if you have an escape artist or need a super secure fence, this may not be the best option.
I have a dog with high prey drive and was worried about the goats/horse but they are very secure in a separate space and you're dog will be on-leash as you walk by them. Once we got into the sniffspot my dog didn't pay any attention to the smell of the dogs.
My dog is terrified of gunshots/fireworks and we did hear some gun shots while we were there, but it was VERY faint and sounded more like distant construction. Did not startle my dog, so if you have a similar issue you should be fine.Tess F.

FAQ about our Penticton 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.
