55I cannot wait to come back! Janice was so welcoming and provided all of the information needed leading up to and the day of our appointment. There were long leads and bug spray available which was just above and beyond. The property itself is beautiful and a dogs paradise. Different heights of grass and so many smells. It was such an amazing experience.Jenna C.

55This facility is amazing - so close to Sherwood Park, and a mix of trees and field, my dogs have an absolute blast every time we go! And so relaxing to not have to worry about other dog interactions (my one dog is very selective). Tanya P.

55AMAZING! So beautiful and peaceful. It was so nice to let my dog roam around without any stress of other dogs near by. He loved running around the big open grass field. Will definitely be back again!Carissa K.

55It was wonderful! Went with my friend and our dogs, we walked and chatted while they played, and we brought a picnic lunch to share. The on site chairs are lovely! It was a gorgeous way to spend the afternoon. We went for three hours as we have very high energy breeds, and it was perfect! Her and I both went home with tired and satisfied boys. Olivia S.

55We just had a wonderful walk at Old Yellers. Our dogs loved the smells and wide open area to run and chase each other. For us, it was a 20 minute drive from door to door so that was ideal. Brilliant info provided by the host to ensure you know exactly what to do / expect when you get there.
We will be back for sure to this little piece of doggy heaven.

55Beautiful acreage, clean and lots of open space. I just really needed somewhere secluded and private with minimal distraction to work on a tandem leash for the first time with both dogs, this was perfect for that. I’ll likely book again soon for training purposes as one of my dogs is a working dog and comes with a lot of liability so a spaces like this are great for us. Only downside is the driveway to enter is a little rough and muddy and some of the grass is long enough to lose your dogs in for a brief second but otherwise loved it! Gage J.

55Was great. My dog loved being able to run around without a leash. He's not sociable enough to take to an off-leash park, so this was perfect for him. I'm so thankful that places like this exist. I work on the road, so am not home a lot, but I'll definitely be going again when I am. The host was kind and helpful. Aaron J.

55A great place to tire out your pup! Could hear some other dogs and birds but they seemed distant enough that it wasn’t a distraction. Can’t wait to come again, especially once it’s summertime!Riya D.

55Really enjoyed the walk today with my beasts. My only wish is if there could have been more paths, the snow is pretty deep (snowshoes would be a hoot!).
Love that there were two long lines I could use to safely explore the spot first.
The trees also help to block some wind so that’s also lovelyCarly A.

55Beautiful area! Clean and easy to access. The signs were clear where to go, heard some dogs barking in the distance but that was all, no other concerns or disruptions. Absolutely will be back! Sandy H.

55My dog loved this space! She loves running through trees, and needs a large field to lap when she has zoomies. This place has both! Between the grass and signs of large wildlife that sometimes pass nearby it is a sniffing dog's dream!Tawnya K.

55We loved our time at Old Yellers Nature Walk! It was perfect for our pup to run around and play, and we loved that it was bigger than any other dog park rental we found. It was super easy to find as well, and we appreciate there were sniffpost markers so we knew we were in the right place. We will definitely be back, and plan on making this place one of our regular destinations with our pup. Joey E.

FAQ about our Westerose 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.
