55This was my first sniffspot and it was a great experience. The open grass area and the wooded perimeter is great for dogs to run and also explore. My hound likes to follow his nose so having such a large fully fenced in area that keeps him occupied and knowing he cannot get out is just super. The host is lovely, meeting us at the beginning for a quick intro and at the end. George and I will be back!Katharina Z.

55Today was my first visit, and I came With my Miniature poodle and a friend brought her Jack Russell and without a doubt they had the best time!!
We were met when we arrived by the very friendly and hospitable hostess and she explained where everything was and the very few and reasonable rules. The fencing is for the most part new and it’s about 4 feet and they are in the process of replacing the rest of the fencing which is still fine the way it is.… Both Dogs were interested in the chickens but fortunately found other things that were a lot more fun. The chickens are safely contained in Their own enclosure.…
I know, I will become a regular…! it truly is, a little slice of heaven. I don’t know whoever came up with this idea but it is perfectly awesome...And very much appreciated buy those of us who are now live in condos.
Thanks Shana For a really fun morning.!

55Great communication with host, amazing yard with a secure chicken coop. Great flat area to play a little frisbee or fetch. Nice paths for sniffing. Didn't see any other dogs. Kate B.

55I am a professional dog trainer and also train and compete regularly with my dogs in dog sports. This was the best money I’ve ever spent on them, and I think they would agree. It was so peaceful and the perfect way to give all three of them the freedom they so desperately need. We cannot wait to come back!Donna M.

55Brought our two pups here over the weekend and they had a blast. As noted in the description, it’s 2.5 acres completely fenced in- I know because we walked the entire perimeter.....there’s a chicken coop that is also completely fenced in- I was worried because I have one pup that is very prey driven but there was no way she could get inside the coop, and she tried. The host was very accommodating and friendly. The best was having two tired dogs by the end of the hour, a tired dog is a happy dog!
We will definitely be back, probably weekly!Kim S.

55GORGEOUS! So much room for the dogs to run flat out! Definitely going to be a return customer! Theres a field and woods that are actually pretty deep! And an huge added plus, didnt find one tick on my dogs, and they were rolling in the grass, in the woods, everywhere!
Host is currently redoing fencing, but old fence is still up and yard is 100% contained. New fence will just give added distance from neighbors yards for saftey.
The neighbor does have a black lab, but its owner recalls it when she barks. The chickens are also totally enclosed and also not frightened by dogs! There are balls and stuffed animals as well, but next visit Ill be bringing some new balls to leave!
Oh and the eggs? Best darn eggs Ive had in YEARS!Lyzz A.

55This was our first SniffSpot and we are already planning a trip back! Shana was so welcoming, making sure there was fresh water, and informing me about the property which was fully fenced in. My dogs loved the chickens (maybe a little too much!) but Shana assured me that the chickens wouldn't be bothered by gregarious dogs. She was also so understanding of my one dog, who can be reactive to people, so we got some exposure therapy as well! There was just enough space for Moses and Gracie to stretch their legs, without them getting too far out of sight. As an anxious dog mom, it was the perfect size! The fencing was intact, and high enough that I was assured my dogs wouldn't escape. Not that they'd want to! They were too busy doing laps around the chicken coop, and in the open yard. Shana has three dogs who were kept in the house at all times, and didn't affect our playtime at all. Now my dogs are happily sleeping, content and worn out. Looking forward to going back soon!Lyndsay W.

55This was our first visit, and we will definitely be back! There was so much space for our dogs to run and sniff. There were toys for our dogs to play with, a clean water bowl, and even a doggy pool.
We had three small dogs under 25lbs so before we arrived we were worried about small spaces in the fence where they could sneak out. But, we were very glad to see that the fence was fully secure all the way around!
Thank you for providing this space for our city dogs to run and play!!!Melanie C.

55This is an incredible spot for dogs to run around and play! They provide water, toys, and even a little kiddie pool! The yard is huuuge, has so much for dogs to sniff and explore, and will definitely leave your pup(s) tuckered out at the end. My dogs were a little too interested in the chickens so unfortunately we weren’t able to stay, but I think as long as your dogs aren’t actively trying to break into the coop (which mine were), it’ll be an amazing experience! Shana is so nice and helpful, too :) I’m bummed we couldn’t stay, but I would 100% recommend this spot to anyone! Amie F.

FAQ about our Acton 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 Acton area range from $9.0 and $9.0. The least expensive dog field is Country Pup Living. The most expensive dog field is Country Pup Living. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
