55Had another fun adventure at our favorite sniffspot! It had been a while since we were able to visit due to life happenings, but it was just what we all needed! We were able to explore some of the newly flattened/cut in paths around the fields and the dogs all had a blast as always. We always appreciate the water and snacks!tena p.

55It's been a hot minute since I visited my favorite sniffspot because life has been busy! I got up early for a frosty golden hour photography walkies with my squad and it didn't disappoint. There were new trails cut into the fields and we had an incredible time meandering through these new paths and the dogs racing through all the tall grass. The ground was crunchy and frozen and there was a thick layer of frost on the grasses that just shimmered! It was cold but so very sunny that it was not at all uncomfortable.
I so very much appreciate this host's constant developing of this property to be the best sniffspot ever! The new paths cut through the side of the property i like to walk when the fields are mowed so it was nice to get to walk that direction again (couldn't go too far when the field wasn't cut). Everytime I visit there is something new or something fixed.tena p.

55All of the wonderful previous reviews held true for our visit today! Great communication with host. Delicious human snacks were thoughtfully provided. We were there for 1.5 hours and definitely didn’t explore a fraction of what we could have. I cannot wait to go back!Vanessa C.

55Another fabulous trip to this sniffspot. After the snow melt and rain it was WET, but it was so wet that there was standing water in lots of places to the mud got washed off as they ran through the fields and the now flattened tall grass. Such a great time for an adventure! I love the flattened grass to open up some more spaces to race!tena p.

55Margaret’s property was wonderful. My dog is often overwhelmed on walks in the city so it was really fun to watch her explore the area in a such a trigger free environment. Margaret left us some walking suggestions upon arrival and snacks for both humans and dogs. We will definitely be back to explore the rest of the property. Jen K.

55Another fabulous trip to our favorite sniffspot! The host was kind enough to let me know about a new trail that they'd cut and we were able to find it and enjoy a new wooded loop! We'll take more of that trail next time since we know where the trail head is now! tena p.

FAQ about our Stahlstown 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.
