55Second time coming here and Both my dogs had so much fun and enjoyed the spot. Pretty accommodating, we arrived 10mins early and he let us stay the full hour of the scheduled booking. He’s building a new pond and my bulldog had a blast. My German shepherd enjoyed the birds and ran around chasing them( in a friendly way). The grass is Just a little overgrown but my dogs Absolutely loved this spot. Will definitely come back. Jasmer May B.

55We had a great time. The grass is dried out but the hillside above the pond is mowed, and there are mowed paths on the other side. I saw foxtails but it is California in the summer, and I found none on any of our 3 dogs after our excursion. Everything was really clean. Youngest dog had fun fishing tennis ball out of pond now that she is comfortable with water, and it kept her cool.Spent most of our time around the pond and hillside above it but did climb up to the shade under the big eucalyptus tree on the other side. Dry grass is a bit slick so wear good shoes. David L.

55This spot is epic! The host, Antoni, met us upon arrival and was lovely. The space was awesome- it was a hot day and the pond was unexpected and enthusiastically enjoyed. The dogs ran up the grassy hill to chase the ball and then into the water- it was an amazing experience. We will be back!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽Julianne W.

55Great spot! We stayed in the fenced hill/pasture. Dogs had a blast running up and down the hill and exploring the shaded areas and rocks. Nice cool breeze in the shaded areas and under the structure. Warning that this time of year it heats up around midday and ticks are abound! We picked a few off our dogs and ourselves. Will definitely visit again and try venturing more.Ashley D.

55Epic spot! We loved every second and looking forward to our next visit. Make sure to do thorough tick checks on everyone and bring towels if your dog likes to swim. There is an option to avoid the pond if that’s your preference.

55Another great visit! As expected, the pond is getting a little low this time of year, and we focused on chasing balls in the field and enjoying the views. Such a pretty spot, with lots of options for shade breaks on a sunny day.David L.

55This Sniffspot is wonderful! Very safe, fully fenced. Nice and clean, plenty of sniffing and running. Parking is easy and Antoni was very helpful and showed us the lay of the land before we got off to playing. The dogs ran and played longer than they have in ages, so it was really nice to have water and some areas of shade for a break here and there. We will be back!Samantha S.

55We came here with a big group for my birthday. It was the best time! Plenty of space for 7 cars, the fencing was secure, virtually no foxtails which is impressive, the little shelter area was nice! We brought a little table and some extra chairs but it was nice that there were already some chairs. We all had a great time. Thanks so much for having us!Ali S.

55Nice spot, very quiet and private, fencing is very secure. Both areas are on the steep side, while there is one flatish area.
We hope that what appears to be a man made pond will be filled with water, would be a great addition, especially as we picked one of the hottest days to visit. None the less we had great fun and enjoyed the space.
Thank you,

FAQ about our Petaluma 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.
