55What a gem of a place!
Has everything a curious dog could want- lots of trees, a small creek (if its been raining), plenty of space to run and of course the donkey & horse!
The description is accurate so please do read carefully regarding the fencing as you may want to keep your dog on a lead near the donkey and horse pen.Anne C.

55Goose and I had a blast here! It’s definitely not a ‘walk in the park’ sniff spot but if you like climbing and adventuring you can have fun here. We made it all the way to the top and then I came home with a very tired pup!
The house is close to a road, so just be cautious letting your dog off leash if their recall isn’t great.Kelsey J.

55Really cool spot with a nice river/creek. If you are looking for a smaller area for swimming. And then the hill has some good hiking up if you are looking to really tire out your pup. Our dogs loved it and got out plenty of energy. Taylor M.

55Anna has a beautiful fenced in yard with healthy grass and lots of space— our Maya was able to run freely and drink from a huge supply of water. Anna was very quick to answer any questions I had and we look forward to coming back and hoping we were good guests! Emilee N.

55Anna was quick to respond to messages. The yard itself is amazing! Huge, green, clean, fully fenced and a few toys here and there scattered and were brought one of our own. There are fully secured chickens on the property. Just so much space for your dogs to really run far and fast! Mercedes H.

55Danielle was friendly went we met, and the yard was perfect being spacious and shaded nicely! My dog is simple, and loves sticks, so although I brought one, I’m glad there were some spares around here and there 😆 Water bowl with water in it and some nice chairs under an umbrella to relax in too. Quiet neighborhood as well!Alexus S.

55We had a great time at Danielle’s sniff spot! Danielle was very friendly and helped me get all the information I needed for our spot time even though she was out of town at the time! We needed a space just to be and run for a bit and this was the perfect place! Danielle also provided a place for humans to sit and bug spray! Diana K.

55Bello, Shady and Paula are the BEST. Bello is so tolerant of my 8 month old puppy, Shayna, who adores him. Shayna nags him relentlessly to play, and Bello never looses patience, & he wears her out (yeah!). He's friendly to me, too. He's a great dog!
His humans, Shady and Paula, are great, also. They couldn't be more hospitable and friendly. Like old friends who you just met. They have created a stimulating environment for dogs and humans with a dog agility-set up, dog water play, large yard for dog running and playing, water bowls, outdoor ping-pong, chairs...even a volleyball net and a play (plastic?) ax throwing game.
They are our dog park of choice!Karen B.

FAQ about our Nashville 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.
