55Lovely place! The dogs I took really enjoyed it. Great variety of terrain!
Just a heads up that a neighbor came up the hill, and my dog is a bit people shy, so that was interesting, but it provided a good training opportunity. Verena S.

55This was a great spot! Very private, large open area. There also was a little box with treats and poop bags which I really appreciated it because I forgot mine at home! I fully recommend this sniff spot!Lacye K.

55Our dog had a blast, there’s tons of space to run, play, sniff, the place is amazing! Our dog was off leash the entire time. Amanda’s efforts to set up the space to make the experience seamless truly show, our reactive pup felt at ease the entire time we were there. Thank you for sharing your amazing place.Daniel T.

55Fantastic location. Great hillside to work the most energetic of dogs. Amanda provided water and towels along with anything else we needed. Especially for a rainy morning. Bobby L.

55One of my new faves! Great space for running, even with my pack of 9! Fun patches of trees to run around. Different areas to explore between wooded spots, sitting area, open backyard, and private road. Friendly, dog-loving humans own the space. They made me and my packs feel welcome with quick “hellos,” but also gave us balanced space to focus on our session. My favorite feature is being able to let the dogs out directly from The Tail Wagon without having to leash up. A trash can, water, small water bowl, and toys were provided. Ashtyn B.

55Lovely sniff spot for my senior girl. She was so happy exploring and rolling around in the grass. Can't wait to return with her and her siblings. Joanna M.

55My dogs had a great time running around in the open grassy area, as well as exploring the forested, brushy areas. They offered, water, toys, and treats, too! Beautiful property and very clean area. As our time was about to end the property owners dogs were let out into a fenced area that was NOT in my dogs line of vision, but they could hear them. It did alarm my shepherd who is extremely fearful of dogs, but we just left, as our time was almost up anyway. It would not prevent me from coming back, but thought I would mention it in case any one has a dog that is reactive like mine. My dogs had a great time and the dog barking did not ruin anything.

55We visited for the first time and while it was a drive to get there it was well worth it! The hill sure tired out my dogs. We hope to be back again. Danina G.

55This is great spot. Lots of places to tromp around in woods and a big open lawn for playing ball in a largely quiet and peaceful location. It’s one of my new favorites. Merrill F.

55What a beautiful space! We loved the wide open hill and meadow area. We never knew our dog loved to fetch! He ran, sniffed and explored the wooded areas for an hour— nonstop. Our host had parking area signed and even had water and toys for use. Our Bo is such an anxious dog. It can take him three attempts just to go on his own backyard. He wasn’t nervous at all here! Other than at the beach, I have never seen him as happy. Thank you so much for providing such a haven❤️Mary C.

55The property was very clean and was as described. There was a lovely Tupperware with treats and poo bags. Theee was also a lidded garbage container and a water jug/bowl along with toys. It was a very inviting space and the pups had a fantastic visit! We would definitely book again!Stacy M.

55We had a great time here! The wooded area was small but my dogs enjoyed it! While exploring the wooded area you can see the neighbors house/yard so be weary of that if your dog hasn’t mastered recall. But we walked all around the hills and wooded area and my dogs couldn’t been happier!Christina H.

55We had a great time at this Sniffspot! We don’t quite trust our pup off leash yet, but love that the owner has the option of renting really long lines. We rented a 100 ft line and so we were able to really get our dog running on the hill!Jesi P.

FAQ about our Battle Ground dog hiking trails
Are dog hiking trails safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than a city or county park. With a Sniffspot off-leash area all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.
How can I find dog hiking trails in Battle Ground?
How do I know if a dog hiking trail works for my dog?
Sniffspot provides the tools to find the ideal spot. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing 6 feet tall and distractions, to find a dog park with trails that works for your dog. You can also filter by size if you are looking for a certain acre park, an expansive off-leash dog park. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog hiking trails. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog hiking trails where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Since you are looking for trails, make sure to check photos to see if it the spot has flat trails or gnarly trails. You can also browse by specific amenities, if you are looking for a view or a beach, for instance, or other activities or fun features. You can check whether the spot has off or on street parking, the regular park hours, whether it has paved trails or a modern restroom.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog hiking trail?
In order to hike the trails, we require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot hiking trail at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
