55I brought my German shepherd, Charlie, to Leah's sniff spot and we had a great time! When we parked in the driveway, Leah came out to say hello and introduce me to the area. The property is 20 acres, fenced on all sides except the front of the property along the road. Since it's a private road in a rural area and the property was so large, I didn't feel too concerned about my dog escaping or getting into the road (there were very few cars that passed by anyway). There is a smaller completely fenced area, I think she said 3 acres, for those who want a completely enclosed space. The neighbors on one side had barking dogs, but they were in an enclosed area so I wasn't worried about my dog "fence fighting" or chasing the dogs along the fence. My dog doesn't have great recall so I was worried about losing sight of him, but Leah assured me that the property is quite visible from all angles, which I found to be true. There was a nice little creek that Charlie enjoyed splashing around in, and varied topography for fun and interesting exploration (rather than just a large flat area for running). There were a few wet spots, but most of the area was not muddy. Overall, it was a lovely space, and a great way to spend a sunny day! We will be back :)Mickie T.

55Such a fun, clean spot to explore. The dogs got to get in the creek, run around the hills, and we even just sat and enjoyed the sunshine. The view of the hills is amazing. Haley G.

55Such a great spot! Our Ginger loved the ability to stretch her legs and run. She did sneak under a barbed wired fence into the neighbor’s property but promptly came back. We will definitely return!Jeanie C.

55Leah was a terrific gracious host, offering a lovely setting for our first sniff spot experience. I chose to use the fenced in area initially to bleed off some energy since I wasn't sure of my foster dog’s recall capacity until I got a feel for the property. Three of my shepherds easily navigated out of the fenced area by stepping through the horizontal fence wires once they explored the fenced area which is quite large on a nice hill. The overall property is amazing, offering lots of smells to investigate and my dogs truly enjoyed themselves. As noted on other reviews, there are dogs on the adjoining property but far enough that my dog reactive shepherd wasn't triggered. We’ll be back to explore more. Eileen P.

55This place is amazing! My dogs loved it. Easy to find, Leah was super nice and gave us the quick run down of the property which was easy to navigate. There’s a slight incline to tire the dogs out even more than if it was completely flats. We will definitely be back oftenStephanie P.

55A huge open space for the dogs to run, explore and enjoy. Leah was a wonderful host and came out to greet us and give information about the property and fence line. There are dogs on the neighboring property but Leah told me about them, and they were far away enough to not bother my dogs. My dogs had an awesome time and were happy and tired afterwards. Thank you, Leah!Jess C.

55This is an amazing place to go because of how big it is, the differing terrain and it’s peaceful vibe. But not for the faint of heart. It’s true rural. So Fall and winter are optimal. But God is it beautiful. Thanks Leah. Love that you’re still having us come out. River F.

55Great field area for dogs to fun around and the property owner (Leah) is very friendly and nice. My mini-Aussies had fun until my small one (16”) decided to check out the big dog that was tied up and barking in the adjacent property. She slipped under a spot where the ground is a bit lower than the fence. The fence is definitely adequate for medium-larger dogs but if you have a smaller one that is not very good on recall when it comes to dogs, cats, and squirrels 😑 I don’t recommend. The neighbor dog barked but did not appear aggressive at all, so everything was fine and after about 5 minutes mine came back to me and I pulled her back under the fence. Other than that incident, lol, we had a good time.Debra M.

55This was our first time using SniffSpot. Our 18 month lab is full of energy. This way a wide open space with nice views. We took our lab to the small stream and she promptly laid down in it! She had a great time sniffing and chasing her ball. Highly recommended! We will definitely come back!Rick S.

55Fantastic host! Beautiful huge spot. So much to do. If you have a husky or a GSP who needs to run forever, this has three sides fenced. But anyone else, it so big that they don’t go anywhere. River F.

My boy Norman is asleep next to me right now. He ran his little tail off and had a blast!
Thank you Leah for opening up your property to Norman and I for a fun day. It was a warm and beautiful day- lots of Spring green grass. Very scenic and beautiful drive to the property as well.

55Had such a great time hanging out with Leah! I thought I was just taking my husky out to explore some land on the country side, but little did I know, we were going to meet a friend. Leah is great to talk to and her spot is absolutely wonderful. It’s great to get away from the city and just chill where’s it’s quiet and all you hear are animals in the background. Azula had a great time sniffing everything and playing fetch? Huskies don’t fetch?? But today she did. I feel terrible - Azula’s not a digger, but she also dug a hole to get a mole or a vole 😞 Leah was very nice about it. Can’t wait to go back! Evie N.

FAQ about our Shingle Springs 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.
