55Great spot! It was easy to find, secure, clean, and the huge flat grass area is well drained so we didn't experience any mud. Great training spot/play space for reactive dogs! Will definitely be back!

55This is such a good sniff spot. Worth every dime. My dog is reactive and gets to relax and enjoy herself with her friends. We have a yard but it’s nice for her to just be somewhere else and there is soooo much running space. Kimberly P.

55Such a great spot! Our second time here, first time was in summer and the grass was dried out so now the grass is beautifully lush! Loved the seating area for us and the toys laid out. Cant wait to come back!Kim C.

55This was our first time at a Sniffspot and it was great! My puppy Lucy had a blast without having to worry about strangers. They had some dog toys, a picnic table, a pair of lounge chairs and a pair of camping chairs. We’ll be back!Haillee N.

55This was our first sniff spot experience- my two dogs had the best time. The space is huge and clean and perfect for playing. The dogs are happy and tired after running the yard. I appreciate the amenities including the picnic table and toys provided- as we could not find our favorite fetching ball before leaving the house. As one of my dogs is a small I was happy that such a large space was completely enclosed. We hope to return it was a great experience. Randi S.

55A great spot and an easy drive from north Portland. There was better drainage than I anticipated due to the slight slope on the property. It is right next to a road so if your dog is bothered by cars it might not be a good fit, but the mesh over the fence does mostly block them from view. We’ll be back for another visit!Tekla H.

55We brought Cooper here to see how he’d do off leash in a new-to-him area. He’s new to me so we’re working on recall. He was a champ and he LOVED playing fetch in the big area. Dana T.

55This was our first time and it was everything that I had hoped for. Easy to get to from my house very well laid out with exactly where to park and where to enter there was no questions that I had to ask. It was so nice having the picnic table and chairs we sat for a bit drinking our coffee while our girl had free reign of the place :) Water bowls were filled with extra water available. It was so nice to have the entire property to ourselves and not having to contend with anything like being at a dog park! We just adopted our Roddy from the Humane Society in October and she has never been able to just run and play with us like she did today. My girl had a great time and we can't wait to go back!

55Love this spot as always. Dogs had a blast!
This was our first day here that we saw two dogs on the other side of the fence in the adjacent field and it made me super nervous as two of my three dogs are dog selective and can be reactive. Thankfully the dogs only briefly walked by a couple of times and then left before it was much of an issue. Just something to keep in mind if you have a very reactive dog! Kristina S.

55We love this Sniffspot! We come here a lot and always enjoy the beautiful large space. We have a reactive dog to strangers and dogs which is why this private space is amazing. However, today we realized that the land next to this spot is perhaps a park? Or just open land? Not sure what it is but there was a couple whose dog charged up to the fence at our dog. Luckily we recalled our dog and leashed him up and kept him on the opposite side of the property until the dog and the owners left….but they like never left. They just watched us for a solid ten minutes right up at the fence and allowed their dog to stay up at the fence too. If that land is open to the public then obviously it is what it is but just figured it was worth mentioning for folx with reactive dogs cause i know our guy had a tough time with them just standing there a really long time. Overall the space itself is always fantastic. Kim C.

55It's the perfect place to take the pup to run! It is a huge field with full fences on all four sides. As the description mentions, there may be dogs walking nearby or people on the road, but there's so much room that it's not too difficult to avoid an interaction. My dog loved running and fetching with the provided chuck it. There's water, toys, and seating for people. Overall, it's a great spot! Jesika L.

55Such a great spot! Everything is clearly marked: parking, entrance, and where to go! Loved the privacy and the vastness of the area as my dog loves to wander! No other dogs or people! Yes there’s people walking on the road but the privacy screen helps! Love the picnic table as we ate dinner while our doggo got to roam! Love to come back!Samantha H.

55Such a nice open area! Fence is full secure. Instructions were easy and had seating for humans. Would definitely come back. I only wish it was more around the $10-15 dollar range so it could be a daily booking. Still such a great spot. Our pup loved it! Kaila B.
