55My dogs always have a great time here. We couldn’t stay the entire hour because of the smoke but I’m glad we were able to make it out for a bit.
The neighbor’s dog was out so my dogs spent a good chunk of time running back and forth along the fence and also barking. (Sorry host and neighbor!) Thankfully the fence is super secure so I’m never worried about my dogs escaping.Mia H.

55Excellent spot! Secure, clean, safe, and such a big great spot for our dogs to enjoy! They had an amazing time running up and down the hill, and we appreciated the detailed instructions and multiple gates for security. Even the toughest escape artist would be secure here. We will definitely be back! Highly recommended.

55Lovely, fully fenced, slightly sloped pasture, with several different species of trees and areas with long grass. We enjoyed the forested areas and the long grass. Note the water spigot is by the first entry gate. Host provided water buckets to fill with water and there are chairs to sit in and a picnic bench on the far side of the pasture under some trees. Overall a really nice area for breakfast, coffee, and zoomies.Nikki B.

55Spacious and lovely spot that offered both a large grassy field area for play and also a wooded section covered with a canopy of trees. It was nice having a variety of terrain for the pup to play in, and the wooded area helped shield some of the light rain that was falling during our visit. The host provided detailed instructions for parking and access. My dog took a liking to a squeaky toy there and we had a good time playing fetch in the grass. Looking forward to a return visit.

55We really enjoyed our visit to this spot! It was clean and well maintained and there was plenty of space for our dog to run and explore. One thing to note for reactive dog owners: some of the neighboring homes are visible from the entrance/front of this spot and we were able to hear (but not see) one of the neighbors working in their yard. Fortunately, our dog was more interested in sniffing, so he was able to dismiss the noise. Just something to keep in mind if your dog is especially fearful and/or reactive. Overall, we had a great visit and we will definitely return in the future.Julie O.

552nd time here, and everything was perfect! Our two labs really enjoy running the two acres of land. Super easy to get in and out of for a single individual wrangling two eager pups!! Will be visiting here again!!Allison M.

55Such a great spot! Easy to find, nice to have water for the dogs, and nice to be able to park within the fenced area so can just let the dogs run from the jump. Jana S.

The woods the lawn grasses the short grass fields the wonderful fencing. Easily accessible and it gets better every time even if we go every week!

55This spot is peaceful and there's so much room to run and so much to sniff. It wasn't hot enough to use the pools that are provided, but we are definitely coming back to try it out on a hot day. There's shady spots through out so that's definitely a plus. We did hear sounds that got my fearful dog on alert, but she was able to quickly relax again by rolling around in the grass. I recommend bringing bug spray bc the mosquitos are hungry. Fabian R.

55Thank you SO much! This was a lovely experience and though we didn’t use the pools this time, we plan to book again and use them! Directions and entry instructions were simple to follow and easy parking. Einstein and Mulligan are already asleep in the car and we left 4 minutes ago! Thanks! Caroline L.

55This is our favorite Sniffspot! Almost 5 acres complete with secure fencing. Lots of spaces to explore, both open field and some nice shaded tree areas. The space has water & pools that can be filled on those hot days. One of the nice features is the ability to park inside the enclosure. For us this means not needing to walk an excited trio on lease to enter the play area. An almost impossible task for us.
It’s a great spot to meet up with friends for a play date due to its size and amenities.Susan S.

55The sniff spot was great! Super easy to find, clearly labeled entrance and a beautiful area to let the dog off leash! The fence was secure even for my escape artist pup.
One thing to know is that there was quite a bit of dog barking that we could hear from the surrounding area that got my dog a little spooked. Grace M.

55Great spot for doggie activities. The grass was longer in some spots which our dogs love hopping through, and lots of different textures around the plot. Super clean. As others here mentioned, there is another dog (neighbor), but once we moved away from the entrance area, not an issue. Great experience, will return.Quynh T.

55We had so much fun at this spot! Host provided clear instructions and easy to communicate with, plenty of shady areas around the sunny field to retreat to as needed, we didn't hear or see any dogs or people but if we had there was plenty of space to redirect attention to. Will be back! Lindsey J.

55What a great spot! Lots of different areas to explore. My dog particularly loved the climbing all over the stumps and branches and logs in the wooded areas around the edge of the Sniffspot. Nice open areas to run as well. We could hear people from the spot, but no dogs. We had a great time here. Michelle N.

FAQ about our Pinantan 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.
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 Pinantan Lake area range from $5.0 and $5.0. The least expensive dog field is Heron's Creek in Maltby. The most expensive dog field is Heron's Creek in Maltby. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
