55Spacious, clean, and secure space. Large enough to throw the ball. Great area for running. My dogs were able to sneak over one area of the fence, but quickly came back when called. Crystal G.

55The drive was easy, all highway and paved range road. Very easy to find. Instructions sent prior were very helpeful to know where to park and walk. Large area to walk and my 3 dogs all enjoyed a great off leash run/sniffari. It was pretty dry already as well for April. We all enjoyed it very much!Andrea K.

55Just finished with the poochies there. It was amazing! I’ve had too many negative experiences at public dog parks, so this was a nice stress-free spring stroll. I’ll recommend to everyone I know! Thanks so much for opening your home to our animals! 💛Hayley O.

55Janice is Incredibly responsive and the park is mowed with lots of range and a nice walk through the trees to get to the field. Both dogs absolutely love it there. Tyler T.

55Easy to find with Google maps (estimated 26 minutes from Edmonton but no traffic so we arrived sooner). Lots for dogs to explore; woods, long grass, water. Bring towels in case of muddy adventures (recent rain). Glad I wore hikers as terrain is uneven but expected as well advertised. Great host communication prior to arrival (horses nearby). My children and pets really enjoyed finally getting some off leash time with our city dogs that do not play well with others. Private and recommended. We will book again soon! Lisa D.

55What a great space for pups to run and play! Great mixture of bush and open field for the differing preferences of the pups. There is an old ride mower in the back part of the field and my one grrl gave it a piece of her mind for startling her LOL! The only disappointment was there were not any squirrels to chase but other than that, we hope our schedule will allow us to come back again soon. We like that it’s fully fenced but really, there was so much space for them to run, I doubt they would have taken off. I’m so very grateful Janice opened the space up for us to use - a comfortable & safe space for reactive dogs to play & exercise. Thank you!!Shawna B.

55This is a lovely place to take a pup. The ground is uneven and the grass is fairly long with the occasional prickly thistle, so keep that in mind when choosing footwear, but otherwise it is perfect for letting our girl stretch her legs and get a good amount of sniffing in. Brittany M.

5510/10 would come back! I have a dog/animal reactive German shepherd, and was worried about taking him to an unknown spot. We heard dogs barking in the distance in the open field, but it was far enough in the distance that it didn’t trigger my dog. He happily ran and chased his ball. We did forget a water dish though, and there were none on site… which is on us! Would definitely visit this property again ❤️Rosemary G.

55Fantastic place. The grass is really high right now but they have mowed some of it and the track between fields is nice and wide and shaded. The chairs are a wonderful addition. It’s a wonderful place to wander freely with the dog off leash and not worry about other dogs showing up. Danielle S.

55Loved the 40 acre nature walk! My dog had the best time running back and forth through the fields. Would like it if more areas had the grass cut but that’s a personal preference. Noel B.

55Great spot! Large open area to toss the ball around and a nice shady area to sit for lunch if you don’t mind the mosquitos. It was very quiet and we didn’t hear or see any other people/animals nearby. Willow had a great time being able to run around and play! We will be back for sure!Jade P.

FAQ about our Red Deer 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.
