55Our first Sniffspot experience and it couldn’t have been better! Our dog is reactive so a public dog park is not suitable for her. Being able to have Barb’s property entirely to ourselves was the most amazing feeling! Our pup had SOOOOOO much fun and was right in her element. It was remarkable to see how our dog thrived having an off-leash experience in a safe and secure environment. She was able to explore and just be a dog, while myself, my husband and our children were able to have a relaxing stress-free time with her knowing there wasn’t any chance of conflicts with other dogs. We live in Canada just across the border so Barb’s property is very conveniently located and just a short drive from the Aldergrove/Lynden crossing for any other Canadians looking to experience the ideal Sniffspot. Barb greeted us upon arrival and was so lovely and welcoming. We appreciated the amenities her property offered including the hose to clean our pup off before hopping back in the car. We will most definitely be back!Laura G.

55Magnificent! Every time, every visit is a treasure. The field is great to walk across, not soggy at all and of coarse the entrance to the Forest is magical. Well marked trails, extremely safe traction foot bridges and cedar chips on the trails through the woods when needed. Wear a warm coat and hat, take your pups for an adventure and you’ll all go back home feeling refreshed, replenished and peaceful with happy tired pups! And you’ll feel wonderful as well!Kerry D.

55We had such a great experience at this spot! Truly a retreat. Our pup had so much fun exploring the forests and running free in the field. We wandered around and got lost in the trails and loved every minute! We heard some distant barking but otherwise felt completely alone. Barb also supplies everything you could need- poop bags, balls, water, and even a hose. Wonderful experience and we will be back. Kathryn S.

55What a lovely space! We had the best time taking our reactive pup Luna. We all felt very safe and comfortable for the first time ever with Luna being off leash and able to run off.
We met with Barb briefly when we arrived and she gave us the low down of the space. Barb has done such an amazing job with the space, a huge open field and super cute maintained trails through the woods and benches dotted around. Even a variety of toys and a little drink station for the pups!
Although we could see and hear another dog and humans in the distance, they were far enough away to be no trouble for Luna.
We will be back!Lucy W.

FAQ about our Lynden dog hiking trails
Are dog hiking trails safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than a city or county park. With a Sniffspot off-leash area 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.
How do I know if a dog hiking trail works for my dog?
Sniffspot provides the tools to find the ideal spot. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing 6 feet tall and distractions, to find a dog park with trails that works for your dog. You can also filter by size if you are looking for a certain acre park, an expansive off-leash dog park. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog hiking trails. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog hiking trails where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Since you are looking for trails, make sure to check photos to see if it the spot has flat trails or gnarly trails. You can also browse by specific amenities, if you are looking for a view or a beach, for instance, or other activities or fun features. You can check whether the spot has off or on street parking, the regular park hours, whether it has paved trails or a modern restroom.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog hiking trail?
In order to hike the trails, we require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot hiking trail at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
How much do Sniffspot hiking trails cost?
Dog hiking trails in the Lynden area range from $9.0 and $9.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Seattle backyard doggie paradise!. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Seattle backyard doggie paradise!. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
