55Nice open area with a large hill on one side. The whole area is covered in grass and makes a pretty good play spot. The owner was super nice and came out to greet us when we got there. The fence was pretty good and I don't think our dog could have gotten out if she wanted to. That being said there is one section that is not fenced but it borders a deep ravine and our dog didn't even take a second look at it.Andrew D.

55Carly’s property is gorgeous! Lots of room to run and explore on a big green hill as well as other open spaces dotted with trees and shrubs. There was plenty of fresh clean water, a million balls, chuk its and frisbees as well as a tether tug and tunnel. We walked the perimeter of the fenced in property around and around while playing fetch and jumping around the tree bases. It was very quiet, such a beautiful space.Kristin s.

55A lovely spot to take your dogs! Carly, the host, could not have been nicer - meeting us for our first visit, giving tips about the yard, filling a fresh bowl of water, and greeting our dogs. The yard was clean, safely fenced, and had toys for our dogs to play with. Diana S.

55Host greeted us upon arrival and was very pleasant. There are a lot of toys and an agility tunnel provided. Large, level grassy area to run through and explore. The resident dog is gentle and friendly. We did hear gunshots going off during our visit.Paul M.

55Our two dogs had so much fun running up and down the hill repeatedly. They wore themselves out before our time was up. Beautiful property and lots of great toys if your dog is the type. Ours just want to run! Laleh H.

55This was our first ever Sniffspot visit and it’s going to be tough to beat! There was so much room to run and play. Open spaces, trees, hills, flat, you name it! It was incredibly clean and beautiful. Carly, the host, was very gracious and put out toys for the dogs to play with. My pup left happy and exhausted. It was well worth the drive and we can’t wait to go back!Rina F.

55This was a lovely space with a very nice host who greeted us as we drove down the driveway despite us arriving late. In reserving this place I personally made an error as I overlooked the type of fencing for the perimeter. From past experience with our dog plowing through a deer fence we have learned our female malinois’s eye sight is impaired. I didn’t want to risk possibility of ruining Carly’s space and deer fencing. I appreciate Carly for lending us her space and time in prepping it for our arrival; thus I insisted they keep the fee. For all the fellow malinois owners out there … just another day in the Mal Life. Kara M.

55What a delightful spot! My dogs are very different - one young and spry and one old and rickety. This is a great spot for both - toys and lots of room to run ragged and some gentle hills and plush grass in the sun and shade. We can’t wait to come back!Mollyrose D.

55This was our first ever Sniff Spot & I 10/10 recommend! The host came out to greet us, close the gate & then let us be. There’s water, a pooper scooper, a fire hydrant trash can, tons of toys, and tons of space to run around in. My dogs were so tired by the end of it. We’ll definitely be back!Giselle G.

FAQ about our Gold Bar 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.
