55Incredible space, especially for reactive high energy dogs. One of my pups has unending energy but struggles with other dogs and people so it's hard to really get him tired. This space did the trick! It is a bit confusing knowing if you're in the right spot or not, but once you go through the large gate partway up the hill, you're there! There's another sign inside the area that says, "Top Dog Vistas ⬆️" which makes you think you're not there yet, but you're already in the correct space. Kate K.

55Wonderful sniff spot!! So much space for the dogs to run and play. Very clean and the host really goes above and beyond by even providing us our own complimentary lock for their gate so we feel nice and safe:) Kortney A.

Host (Carol) met us and is very gracious.
The area is well maintained with several nooks with benches, water dishes with water, doggie doo-doo bags and metal disposal bins.
The area has trees, trails, and open expanses with wonderful vistas of surrounding landscapes. You and your fur babies have the entire place to yourselves.
The area is on a hill for those semi-crippled like me (one of my hip joints has no cartilage and is bone-on-bone contact) and it was a bit of a chore, but worth it. The dogs enjoyed it quite a bit I think.David M.

55Loved our time here. Be sure to follow the signs for your appropriate Sniffspot because there are 3 or 4 different spots. The Top Vista spot is quite a hike but doable for most, if you take your time. Enjoy! Deidre N.

55Our two dogs had an absolute blast running around free and sniffing. It’s a steep hill to get to the top (wear out those doggos). Our dogs loved running the brush trails at top and in some tall grass. That is where our golden got the zoomies! The view from the top is worth the walk up the hill. We will be back again for sure!

55Great space to allow your dogs to explore without any worries. The hill up to the top is a trek, but the view at the top is beautiful. The hosts provide towels for any muddy paws before you load up. Love taking my dogs here. They love running in the tall grass/brush.Sarah U.

55Amazing open space! Lots of trash cans around to put poopy bags in, so you won’t be walking around carrying them with you. My pups loved it :)Emily C.

55Lots of space and well maintained trails. Also, fully fenced!!!! There are also several benches for resting whenever you need. I liked that there were other toys for the dogs to play with when I needed a rest. Jordan N.

55We were able to take our deaf dog today, and didn’t have to worry about him getting loose! He had a blast watching the goats! We had 4 dogs and they all had so much fun! The parking is easy, the little walk to the gate isn’t bad, and we couldn’t see any other dogs from our area! Loved that we had a tremendous amount of space for exploration with secure fencing! Such a beautiful view, and a few resting spots for the humans! Lots of waste cans to put dog waste, area was clean and private! Will definitely be going here again!Jolee N.

55Plenty of space for both of my dogs to run. The hilly terrain gave them lots of exercise. I liked the area at the top that was open for playing fetch. A good mix of trees, trails and brush for the dogs to explore. Also people friendly with benches for owners to rest and watch the dogs play Trisha M.

55A little muddy but not bad especially once you are up on top! There was a moon and we thought it would be a fun thing to do on a moonlit night. The goats were cute too!Karen J.

55Perfect for letting dogs run and explore without having to micromanage them. The dogs had so much fun and freedom I could barely keep up with them. I may have to switch to this option permanently! Super clean too! Alicia T.

55We were surprised with our own combo lock for next time we visit. We appreciate this gesture because our dog Ava is not dog friendly and we definitely don't want there to be an accident if someone else arrives early. Ava loved the Vista area which is expansive for exploration and running, plus a good workout for people.Shanti K.

55Daphne had so much fun here, it's very well kept and the thoutfulness did not go unseen. Multiple benches and a picnic table, water bowls and treats! When we went to leave we even got to see the cutest little goat. I'm sure it's in the description, but this is a good little walk and it is all uphill. But the view from the top is well worth it!Emily C.

55We are newbies and totally messed up our time, arriving at 1pm rather than 1:30, but made sure to leave on time. Love this spot, very open and great to get my girl her outdoor fix, without worrying about other dogs, especially with the unknown illness going around. Will make this our go to location!Maria J.

FAQ about our Saint John 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.
How can I find dog fields in Saint John?
There are 13 dog fields in the Saint John area. The most popular dog field is Dawn to Dusk Doggy Domain. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
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 Saint John area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog field is Place to run your dog. The most expensive dog field is Place to run your dog. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
