55We had a lovely walk with our pup today on some beautiful, top of the mountain acreage.
It was sunny so we opted to wander through the woods, following a wide dirt path.
There were pup treats and people treats available for us, and a big bowl of fresh water for Chuck.
Thanks, Ryan, for sharing you space with us. Ruth M.

55If you want a quiet forest walk in the country with no distractions, this is the spot! We drove up from Portland and knew once the road became gravel that this was worth it, lol. Host was kind enough to meet us and let us know where to go for trails and forest space (to the right past the white barn) but it was all open for the pups to explore. They had a blast and we will be back! Lea H.

55Beautiful spot. Well marked and very well maintained trails. Even fresh eggs available for purchase! I took the steep trail, which was quite steep. We definitely got a good workout. Planning on going back and taking the view trail which I'm guessing won't be as steep. Thank you for sharing your amazing spot! Lia W.

55Great hiking trails! A perfect little PNW forest hike. The dogs loved exploring all the trails and the dried creek bed. Lots of nice places to sit and take in the view and forest sounds. Kristin W.

55What a wonderful spot! My dogs had the best time running up and down the trails. The view loop was spectacular and sitting on the bench and looking over the view was really peaceful. We will definitely be back! One note, it’s a workout so be prepared to go down steep inclines, and back up steep inclines on the Creek Pass trail. I felt great about doing it, but if you have bad knees, it’s something to consider. The View Loop was pretty even and absolutely gorgeous so there were varying g levels of difficulty. My dogs all scaled the entire thing without breaking a sweat lol 😅🤪so it was just me that really felt the workout!! Fern C.

55This was such a lovely place to go! My pup LOVES hiking and these were the perfect little trails to let him be off leash. The trails were well marked, and it felt secure even though it wasn’t fenced in. Rachel D.

55One thing I love about this place is the abundant shade on hot days. Second is that I get as good of workout as my dog over the technical terrain Timbre R.

55It is an excellent way to start the day! The girls got in a wonderful romp, and we enjoyed our walk too. Water and bowls were provided and very appreciated. Well maintained trails with several spots to sit and enjoy the view. Today, we were treated to a view of goats and even a chicken! They were in an enclosure and a safe distance... Mary G.

FAQ about our North Plains dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
