55Kat was very responsive and helpful when we arrived at her place! She has goats, pigs, and horses near/on the property which was fun for our pups to ogle. Our one pup is a reactive dog but we had no issues with animals or people triggering him. I would highly recommend using Kat's property! Brittany T.

55The Sniff Spot was exactly as described. My dog and her friend needed a neutral spot to play. They are a little possessive at each other’s homes and it affects their play time. We’ll be back together and alone for some recall training.Craig W.

55It’s a lovely spot for both dogs and humans. On a sunny day you can sit in the chairs and soak up the warmth of the sun and watch your dogs playing and getting exercise. Marilyn P.

55Beautiful peaceful neighborhood. Excellent stretch of yard allowing dogs to run up and down a hill. Also love the cute touches of a tire tunnel and balance beam. Host was very responsive to chats as well. Thank you!Mindy D.

55The sniffspot sign definitely helped with finding the location. I love the amount of toys and access to water they had. There aren’t any holes and not any poop either. My dogs had an absolute blast playing with the agility course. I’m so upset at myself for not coming here sooner. Will definitely be returning , thank you for allowing my little family in your yard. <3Leslie O.

55It was a beautiful space and well fenced in. My 10lb escape artist couldn't get out. The toys and stick library were a hit. I took my 3 dogs and the 2 I'm watching for a friend and I think I might have my first quiet, mellow night in a week. They are all absolutely tuckered. Thank you so much for this spaceDavid W.

55We have been coming to this sniff spot for a few months now and every visit is a delight. The owner is thoughtful and has several amenities for guests to use including chairs, toys, a stick library and water. We are huge fans and plan to keep coming back. 😊Johanna M.

55Really nice spot--quiet, lovely views, very clean. Fence is lower in one stretch, so be cautious if you have a jumper. We used a long line as a precaution and it was fine. Pup had a great time!Sohni Y.

55Always fun, clean, and pleasant! The occasional cows that graze by the fence line have provided excellent distraction training for my dog, who turns her back them now, perhaps "pretending" they are not there? Ample training for us to pass our AKC Farm Dog test sometime!

55Great spot. Very spacious. There are cows nearby but it didn't bother our dog (they kept to the far end of the nearby pasture). We loved that Rebecca allowed access to a hose so we could clean up when done playing. We had a blast and ended up going to this spot 4 times during our vacation. Jennifer S.

FAQ about our Ferndale 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Ferndale area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 1 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
