55Lucy had a great time.
Facility was easy to access. Sincerely appreciated the efforts taken by Alex to protect visiting dogs from potential health hazards. Be prepared to bring your own “fetch” toys.
In an at effort to provide full disclosure: given the time of the year, recent weather conditions, and Lucy’s activity level, her paws were dirty at the end of her session.
Had a great time - One of our ‘new’ favorites…Warren B.

55Lovely spot, lots of nice shade today-a great size for wandering and playing a little catch. A deer in the neighbor's yard was extra interesting. Not sure if the water was warm, or just not his, but our pooch wouldn't drink host's water, so we just brought our own dish and water jug in. Great place, lots of good toys, places to sit. We'll happily return!Laurie R.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience and we were happy with experience start to finish. My boy Bodie loved investigating and sniffing every inch of the large yard! 🐶 Alex clearly communicated directions, parking, and how to access the yard. A wonderful treat to see that water bowls and tennis balls among other things were provided. Overall a great experience, so happy to have this resource in our community! Thank you! Courtney M.

The directions were clear, it was easy to park and in a good safe neighborhood. I recommend this Sniffspot.

55Such a great spot for all the pups!! So thankful to have the spot to let the dogs run and stretch their legs after a long drive up from Olympia. They loved the pool and being able to sniff all over. Picnic table and umbrella was great! My family and I were able to enjoy a picnic and let the dogs run couldn’t have asked for a better set up. Thank you!!
Only note for other folks: our beagle (22lb/15in tall) and cattle dog (45lb/25in tall) would have been able to get out of the hole in the interior fence so we kept an extra eye on them. There seems to be an exterior fence but not sure how secure. TLDR: a motivated medium dog could get out. Kaylan R.

FAQ about our Bellingham dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
