55Nova loved it. We were first visitors! Miranda is super friendly. All animals were in enclosures, they could not get out, Nova could not get in. It's a large pasture field, so wear appropriate foot wear. No sniff spot sign yet but it's a new spot, so that is still in progress. I think my little dog could have fit through the gate to the pigs but she's 9lbs and a slinky, was not with us. Julie M.

55Mr. Boosh had a fun birthday visit. He got to see his first pig through the fence and was quite intrigued. Our host was very pleasant and welcoming. Stacey B.

55Oh my goodness, did our pups love this sniffspot. Logs to jump over. Chickens and pigs (carefully fenced off) next door. Gates to run in and out of. Sniffies for days and days. Mom & Dad loved Kenny meeting us personally, and being so accommodating! What we liked best of all was how carefully Kenny had put logs up against the fence, around the whole perimeter. No worries that pups would squeeze underneath and escape. Highest recommendation, and we will definitely return. Cydney & James S.

55For one thing Carrie is awesome! + her fully fenced yard is on an incline which is great for helping my rambunctious dogs get tired! She is a great host and it was just the break my dogs and I needed!

55Beautiful spot with lots of wide open spaces for running around. Not fenced, but very secluded and quiet for reactive dogs that need on leash exercise somewhere quiet.Wyatt R.

55Worth the drive from Portland! Gorgeous views and quiet, serene atmosphere. My three large dogs had plenty of room to run up and down the hill, and I saw a couple birds of prey too. Lovely spot! Lea H.

55Heaven. Even if it’s out of the way…go here! The view is second to none and as long as your dogs have decent recall, you will have an amazing time! As I write this all three of my Giant breed dogs are snoring. During fall and winter some rain boots may be handy! This was a little sanctuary today. Thank you!! Eliza R.

55Such a beautiful spot, oh my! My dogs had a great time sniffing and running. It’s a bit difficult to discern what the actual property land is and the neighbors had some dogs out in their yard, but were blocked by a clear fence. Otherwise, great place to be! Shayla B.

55Absolutely beautiful. We had a wonderful time and pups loved exploring. Our dogs are fairly low-key, so we spent the last half hour of our time just sitting in the sun and enjoying the view.Jessica H.

55We had a wonderful time. The fenced in meadow is huge and the dogs had a great time running and rolling in the grass. We also visited the creek which was great fun and they splashed and played fetch in the water. I hope to come back on another drive this way. Tina P.

55This was a perfect stop on a long drive- close to I-5 and easy to get to. Communication with the host was great and directions for access were clear. We spent all of our time in the fully fenced 9 acres, which was a huge field, with a river on one side, more fields and woods on two sides, and rail road tracks on the last side. There were 2 trains passing over an hour and a half and the first concerned one of our dogs, who hasn't been close to many trains. But it is an excellent spot to desensitize to trains, as you can get as close or as far away as you want and the fencing is secure. There were barking and visible dogs up hill from the sniff spot- separated from us by a good distance and at least 2 fences, the railroad tracks, and a road. Our dogs hardly noticed, but a very dog reactive dog might be concerned. The fencing seemed secure and in good repair and it felt very safe to just let our dogs run and play. There is a lot more land to explore, but not with dog proof fencing, so would just require a bit more vigilance to keep track of dogs. We hope to incorporate more visits into our trips through the area.Kate S.

FAQ about our Kelso 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.
