55Spacious and natural backyard. There are bushes, trees, wood, moss, and creek. My golden retrievers had plenty of space to chase each other, fetch, and explore. Amanda is wonderful! She left us treats, toys, water for girls, and water for me with a snack. Happy all around!Aida D.

55Yard was great! Plenty of space for my dog to run around. She left out toys, treats and water. There was a nice area of incline that helped tire out my dog while playing fetch. Kelley C.

55Wow! This is an incredible sniffspot. The logistics were easy! Amanda provided clear instructions, you can park right out front and even made a sign for the gate so you know you’re in the right place. It’s a true dog oasis to explore, play and sniff. The yard is HUGE! My dog had a blast running through the creek bed (which is dry at the moment) and sniffing all the plants. There is a nice big grassy area with a slight hill that was perfect for fetch. The fence was secure enough for my dog and he enjoyed peeking through the holes to look at some neighbors walking by. We had a blast in the yard, it’s such a great to have such a big space right off the beltway. We will definitely be back! Caroline A.

55Host sent detailed instructions and it was very helpful! It is a large yard with lots of places to sniff. There was a treehouse that my dog really wanted to climb into haha. They even left some snacks for my pup as well as hooman snacks. Highly recommend it!Archida K.

55Hands down the best Sniffspot we’ve been to! The host was so kind and left out goodies, water, and there was great parking and signage. One of my dogs is a fetch loving runner, and one loves to sniff and this was the best spot for both of them. There’s a huge long space perfect for fetch, but the other side of the yard was perfect for sniffing and exploring! They loved every foot of it and were sooo tired and happy after, but just couldn’t stop exploring all that this yard had. The yard is really well laid out and has doggie/baby gates so pups can’t get up to the deck which I so appreciate. Overall an incredible space, we will definitely definitely be back! Fencing was secure and my 80 lb dogs were perfectly well kept in. Stephanie M.

55The area was quite large and pretty, with trees that were changing with the fall foliage. The wildness of the yard is a big draw because it kept my dogs interested and sniffing around and the hills also gave them good exercise. The area was secure for my two Rhodesian ridgebacks so I was not worried about them jaunting off. Amanda left some dog treats and even nice snacks and water for the humans. We will be back! Sarah V.

55Wow, STUNNING spot!!! I have a reactive schnauzer which makes it difficult to enjoy walks and dog parks are impossible. But this yard was an AMAZING experience. As soon as we went inside, my little one was off to the races. There is so much space to run and play fetch and so much to sniff! You can see out from one side of the fencing and we saw a 3 people walk by, but it wasn't a big deal at all. My dog was so tired when we left, she had such a great time. Would love to go back!Antonia D.

55Ample space for our pup to roam and sniff. He had a great time exploring the creek bed and appreciated the fresh water. We loved seeing him decompress and explore in a safe space.Katie K.

55This was such a fun spot! There’s lots of open space for my dog to run, and she loved sniffing along the creek and vegetation. By the end of our visit, she was still finding new areas to explore. It is also in a quiet location and we did not see or hear any people or other dogs. We also appreciate the human and doggie snacks!Jacey J.

55Second time here - Even better than the first! The leaves are turning and it is beautiful, also the weather is cooler. Lots of sticks, moss, creek, acorns so there is plenty to explore and smell. Amanda left us fresh water, treats, chair and chips for the human. We are super happy. 😊 Aida D.

55Piper and I thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Piper took a minute to sniff ALL the spots, then we played, got distracted with sniffers that were missed the first time around, then played some more...it was a perfect break between several rounds of fetch and sniffers.
Also, great amenities! Thank you!Angela P.

FAQ about our Springfield 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.
