55Had a lovely time.
There was a cute doodle visible at the far end of the perimeter of the sniffspot for the duration of our visit. I had to put a long lead on my dog to prevent him from rushing to the wire fencing and air snapping at the other dog.
After my dog did an aggressive air snap at the dog while off leash, I kept him on the long lead for the remainder of the visit. Totally no fault of the spot- as the listing states dogs are sometimes visible.
We had an otherwise lovely time. I won’t be able to come back, just in case there is a visible dog- but it was a serene, beautiful location.
You can hear the marsh birds and see them. Lots of dog amenities and a couple agility items- which was really cool to try out.
Love this spot! It’s just not for me with my dog as he is very reactive. Ami K.

55It was very easy to get there and such a beautiful lot! No other dogs around and tons of space to run. Some water in the field which my dog loves. Loved that they had toys and paw wipes for your dog too. My dog loved seeing the horses in the other lot. Beautiful spot! Emma M.

55It was a lovely spot. We had loads of fun with 11 dogs. We had a nice birthday party. This was our first time using sniff spot so took us a bit of time to pack up but our host was very accommodating and gave us enough time. Only thing to be careful about is the electric fence which was shut off after we informed them it was on. Hiranava d.

55Amazing spot. Dogs loved it and it was nice to walk around and enjoy the views. Nice shaded sitting area with water and toys provided. Owners were super sweet and latched the gate because I was too stupid to figure it out. Will definitely be back! Laura D.

55This was our first time using sniffspot and have decided to make this a weekly trip! We have a senior 90 lb lab/pit mix who loves the water. He is quite reactive so it is hard for us to find a place for him to swim without other dogs. We would recommend this sniffspot to anyone who has a reactive dog that loves playing in water Frances D.

55This place is amazing, all the good things and water to boot! The only downside is there is a gap in the fence of the gate you close when you come inside. Vanna S.

55I’m so grateful that Kris is always working on and adding to the spot! Today was an especially hot day and we showed up to find a kiddie pool for the dogs to cool down in. This was the first time I’ve seen my collie willingly go for a swim! 🥹Victoria P.

55Wonderful time here.
Came back as the owner messaged that they can ask their neighbor (with the cute doodle) to keep their dog inside when we visit.
Had tons of fun with my super reactive dog and child. Can’t wait to go back! Ami K.

55My pup had the best time here! Fully fenced, room to explore and plenty of things to keep us busy - toys, agility, kiddie pool (her favorite). Perfect place to work on recall with the confidence to also let your dog get their zoomies out. We’ll definitely be back! Emily G.

55This sniffspot was lovely and my dog enjoyed it very much! He liked running around and seeing the horses. I appreciated being able to drive onto the land and have complete fencing to secure the area. Nawal K.

FAQ about our Ilwaco 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.
