55This was our first visit to a sniffspot, and I would 💯 recommend it. I took my three dogs, and they had a blast! We stayed for 1.5 hours and we could have stayed all day! It was very clean. There was a pool that my lab puppy thought was amazing. There were life jackets and found out my small dog could swim! Lots of room to play, relax, sit in the shade, discover new smells and be completely safe. Karen F.

55LOKI and I had a wonderful time! It was so nice to be able to let him "dog" without having to worry about him. He loved all the new smells and sounds. It was a very hot day but we had an evening slot and there was plenty of shade. Samantha C.

55What an absolutely wonderful spot! We stopped on a trip from Seattle to Seabrook and it was the perfect tiny detour! The spot is secure and safe - great fencing, really useful signage, toys, water - had it not been a hot and smoky day we would have never left! The horses and hogs and other critters are darling. My Pyr and one of the horses were hilarious together - pacing each other on the fence and getting all their sniffs in. The host is lovely and super communicative and extra props for the super clean on-site portable. Can’t wait to come again! Lori M.

55We and our dogs love this spot! There is a picnic table to set our things on and to sit at if we wish, and benches in shady spots around the grounds. There are two large bowls of fresh water, one by the fence and one under the picnic table for the dogs, as well as an animal trough for the dogs to cool off in and a larger pool if they're brave enough to get into it. There's plenty of room for them to run comma and on the other side of the fence, they get to see goats, horses, donkeys, and other animals which they really enjoy. It's Worth the half hour drive to get there. Lin S.

55We had a great time at Dexter's Bark Park. The straw barn with all the smells turned out to be the highlight. A great spot to sniff and relax after zoomies. The soaking bin was perfect. Careful with the big pool. Our girl jumped in without hesitation but couldn't figure out how to get out even with the step provided. Overall great spot. We will be back!Tiffany P.

55Dexter's is fabulous. A beautiful rural setting. Lots of wide open FENCED space for pups to run, sprint & frolic!
Stimulating! Enriching! Social, attimes talkative, farm critters in adjoining FENCED pastures( goats/sheep/horses & piggy). Our dogs had a blast! So tired they took time to sit out in the field and enjoy the scenery.
THANK YOU for sharing this amazing space with us and our critters. Cheers!Jason, Cate & Beth R.

55We always enjoy going to Dexter's. It is well fenced and has fresh water for the dogs, a garbage can for waste, lots of area to run, and toys to play with. My three are also fascinated by the farm animals in surrounding fields. We go whenever we can!Lin S.

55We had a great time visiting Dexter's Bark Park! The space was safe and secure, plenty of toys, a seasonal pond, and trees to give the humans a place to get out of the rain. It was easy to access, big enough for the dogs to run full speed, small enough that they were always in our sight. Melissa was very responsive. We'll be back for sure! I also like that I can donate a little extra to sponsor a trip to the park for shelter dogs while also supporting the sanctuary with a fun rainy day activity. Thanks Melissa!Emma O.

55Dexter's Bark Park is our favorite sniff spot so far. It's big enough that all three dogs had plenty of room to run and plenty of water to both drink and cool off in. It also has shady spots for us. Thanks for making it available 💜Lin S.

55My dogs LOVED this sniff spot. This was the first time they were able to be off-leash. The area was completely enclosed and we didn't mind letting our dogs roam wherever they pleased. Daisy particularly loved all of the farm sensory items like the sheep's wool and peacock feathers. We will definitely be coming back! Meghan R.

55My dogs LOVE coming here! So much room to run and the pigs were frolicking along with my dogs! They loved playing in the giant puddle/winter pond including my dog who hates water. They pretty much slept the rest of the day after we got home. A win for me!Karen F.
