55Gorgeous spot, exactly what I pictured when you think of a nice open and safe space for your dog to roam. Plenty of places for people to sit and water and poop bags provided. My girl loved running around and smelling everything. Will definitely come back.Geena V.

55Very secure and clean, nice open but still interesting terrain. Nice covered picnic table, paper towels, clean up material, toys and water. The dogs loved it! 🐕❤️🐕Kimberly L.

55Wonderful space! Toys are there to keep your dog engaged but they have so much space to run and be free! Picnic area as well. There are also lights as well for later in the day! Manuel M.

55This is a great location. There was plenty of room for my pup to run around. The picnic table and shelter is a nice touch. It was such a beautiful winter day that the humans didn't need it, but if it was overcast, a little drizzly or a warmer day the shelter/shade would be welcome. Vicki H.

55Terrific spot to take to let the dog run around and play fetch. Fully fenced in with a tall fence, beautiful scenery to enjoy while playing with the pups, a covered picnic table, baby pools, and toys for the dogs to use.kanangros X.

55What a great day…the dogs really worked out. It is worth the 45 min drive for me. That’s how much I like it. There is no place like it in the upper peninsula. The dogs think I am am really cool for bringing them here. Slept so good at home that Q missed me opening up the cookie jar…had to bring her treat to her. Just exhausted had not had so much fun since we left our acreage in Oklahoma.Elizabeth (Erzsi) K.

55I wish it was possible to give more than five stars!! My boys had the BEST time. So much room to run and sniff. The spot is super well marked and clear parking and access. There's water, toys, and even a kiddie pool. Kristie was so kind and communicative. We can't wait to come back!Megan J.

55Hillside meadow was a great, large lot to take our dogs to! They had lots of toys, fresh water, and a sitting place for people. A dog did come up and say hi to our dogs through the fence while we were there, and there were goats visible.Lou D.

55Even after sunset it’s a great spot. Well lit entrance. 6ft fence is very secure. Plenty of water available and covered seating for pet parents if needed. Would recommend glow collar or flashlight to better keep an eye on your pet in the dark when they go explore the property.Quiet Z.

55Kristie was a great host, very responsive and provided great details to help us with our first visit. The property was spacious & secure. After the rains, the hills were bright green and the sun was amazing coming from the foggy coast. Worth the drive. The dogs keep jumping into the wadding pools to cool down after their runs across the field. We will return! Su C.

55Highly recommend. Lots of space to run and play! We came here with three large dogs and they had a lot of fun. Two hours was the perfect amount of time for us. Fresh water is provided for the dogs and they also have a convenient shaded sitting area to have lunch. Would go back! Tyler K.

55This is a wonderful spot for dogs to run, play and explore. It was particularly great for my Akita who had so much space to run and play. It is fully fenced and I had no worries about my 100lb dog getting out. There's also play pools and lots of toys. It was a terrific time and we will definitely go back!Erica W.

55Nice open hilly space. A shaded picnic table, chairs, a variety of toys and water were extras that made it feel very welcoming. Our dog and our family enjoyed running around. We will be back again I'm sure. zach s.

FAQ about our Newman 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 Newman area range from $5.0 and $50.0. The least expensive dog field is Christy's 3 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In La Grange. The most expensive dog field is Volta Farms. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
