55This is the best Snifspot in Bellingham in my opinion. It is peaceful, very clean, and has a good mix of grass and trees to entice the pups to explore. We have been coming here for well over a year now, and the quality stays very high.Jeffrey F.

55We always enjoy this spot. The one distraction that pops up is the host's dog barking at us from the adjacent yard. Even with a somewhat dog- and barrier-reactive dog, there's plenty of space to move away and still enjoy our visit.Beth P.

55There’s room to explore, a garbage can, and dog toys! Overall it was a great experience. There were a lot of slugs though so I’d watch out to make sure your dog doesn’t eat any. Fallon V.

55First time visiting this spot and we will definitely be returning! We started using the smaller field for the first half of the hour and then shut the front gates to use the bigger field for the remaining time. My dog LOVED it! So much room for him to run around and he loved having the tall grass to play in too. Brittani N.

55We love K9 Granny's-always safe, enclosed, just the right sizes in her two fields, big and little and beautiful with the seasons. It sure is a Happy Place for us and our boy! Water, toys, porta potty all there, and nicely mowed wide trails, too.

55Pretty toasty out there, but that tree provides for everyone, nice to have that shade. Always a fun time to have. My guys feel like it’s their very own space now. So many smiles!Karen L.

55Nice place. Our dog enjoyed the walk through. The main path through is wide with plenty of places for him to sniff. We tried to explore some other smaller trails but couldn’t get very far. If more trails could be cleared it could be an incredible place for our puppy to explore Cuquita L.

55Beautiful private, little forest. My dog had the best time hunting for his ball in all the ferns and other foliage. Be sure to bring but spray. We did not need boots, yet the dog still manged to get muddy on his legs. We will visit again. Ashley S.

55This spot is wonderful! It's a fully fenced acre of forest. It's quite sloped and some areas are dense with vegetation right now. If your dog loves to sniff and explore, they'll love this spotZoe W.

55This is my dogs favorite spot! He could sniff/run for hours. I love coming here when I have multiple dogs, as the fencing is very secure and I don’t need to keep track of everyone at once. Audrey B.

55This is our 3rd Sniff Spot we have tried and it really lived up to the name. Great fenced area with lots of nooks and crannies to sniff. Also, the dogs loved running through the ferns and in between the trees. It was a rainy day and the canopy kept us mostly dry!Mary H.
