55My dog Tobi and I had a great time at this Sniffspot! Definitely a place where a dog can just be a dog. There was tall grass to run through, plenty of areas to sniff for small creatures, an overgrown forest area to explore, and shady spots to rest in. I walked the part of the perimeter that I could and didn't see any places where my dog could get through. There were some parts where I couldn't see the perimeter fence because of blackberries, but given what others have said, I have no reason to believe that there were major gaps. We will be coming back! Alexa T.

55Nice grassy field and some woods to explore. We arrived just after some rain, it was wet but not terribly muddy. Dogs left tired and happy. Nicholas C.

55Maria was very thoughtful and she had great communication. I truly appreciated how understanding and considerate she was since my dog is in training :) Beautiful open space, with toys and water provided by her :) Definitely one of my new favorite spots!Rosalani F.

55I don't want to review this sniff spot because I don't want anybody to know how great it is. Lol. Always clean, always an enjoyable visit. Never once have I been inconvenienced or bothered as I have at other spots (People asking me to do interviews for newspaper articles or having someone pressure wash the driveway while I'm there🤦 My dogs can be aggressive). Little Red Bench is the perfect blend and nature and man. A fence to keep my pups secure, tons of space for them to run. It's always a good visit. Aubrey H.

55Great mix of open field and forested area. Directions were easy to follow.
I visited in early January and the pasture was pretty muddy, so make sure to bring a towel! Our dogs had a great time rolling around in the mud though. Molly M.

55Another great visit at the little red bench! The property is huge - tons of great places for your dogs to sniff, explore and run. Our pups especially love the trail on the backside of the property. Be sure to wear boots and bring a towel to dry your pup off - it’s muddy out there!Becky H.

55Our dogs loved this area! A good combination of wooded area they can run in as well as a field. Be sure to wear boots & bring a towel to wipe the mud off your pups (mine especially love the mud).
The area was clean & secure! We did see & hear a bald eagle during our entire visit which was pretty amazing!! Small dog owners might want to keep this in mind and just be sure to watch your pups ❤️Emily R.

55This is always a great, secure, private spot! My dogs always get a great run and are worn out after. A heads up for anyone new coming during the rainy season, it does get muddy and could be slippery. So just wear some good waterproof boots you don't mind getting dirty and maybe bring some towels for the car.
My dogs play rain or shine so we expect it to just be a fun muddy outing! The host is very responsive, and they do have a hose available to spray off at the end. We love this spot in all seasons. It has a nice balance of field and woods.Casey P.

55Love this spot! plenty of room to throw balls etc but also a good amount of interesting sniffs and a little ramble in the brambles and trees toward the back. I like that it is a good size and not too far out of town. Water was mostly frozen today due to the cold so bring some un-frozen water if you're headed there on a below freezing day!Franki T.

55Absolutely love this spot! Great size fenced off area with a well maintained open field that leads into a small area of woods with a little bit if a trail. I have been to many sniffspots that are all great but I love how private this area is! Very quiet and peacefull and a ways back enough you do not feel like you are right in someone's back yard. It is kept clean and grass is not too overgrown. My pups love it here!Casey P.

FAQ about our Edgewood 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.
