55Leslie’s spot is a haven for dogs that enjoy exploring. Lots of areas to trek around. I highly recommend this spot and Leslie is very communicative and was kind to introduce us to her dog for a bit of meet and greet. Note that the quarry (government own) after the trees on the left side of her land is not her property but we had an opportunity to snuck around and romp there a little bit before heading back. Seems to be no issue - yet. Kate T.

55This spot is a hidden gem! I drove up a long gravel road to the house and parked by the gate. There is a wide grass road that heads down hill past the house. Watch out for a couple dog bombs on the path. The road goes way down hill and around a bend then opens up into a huge natural area. It is mostly a field with open grassy areas between then. There are some trails too. We saw some great wildlife (songbirds, squirrels and an eagle!), but didn’t see or hear any dogs or people. There was some very distant construction noise and I thought I heard chickens or ducks by the house. Also there is a neighbors house that is visible and not too far from the open area but we didn’t see any people or animals. There are some structures and vehicles to the side of the big area, including an arcade machine! This area is amazing to explore and relax.David A.

55Hosts were friendly and helpful in giving us the lay of the land when we arrived. The pups enjoyed the variety of features throughout the property, including nice open grassy areas, wooded trails, and hills. Hope to visit again soon. Thanks!Michael E.

55Leslie was a very responsive host and very accommodating to our request for a contactless visit. She provided excellent instructions for us to figure things out on our own. Our two pups had the best time and we also really enjoyed walking all around the property. We didn't see any other people or dogs and felt totally secure with our reactive pups. Definitely one of our new favorite sniffspots!Melinda G.

55This is wonderful property with lots of room to explore. The listing contains an accurate description too. We walked down a hill to an open, grassy area. From here, you have a peekaboo view of the neighboring house. There were a couple vehicles parked in the open area and at first I thought we were encroaching on the neighbor’s property, but that wasn’t the case. The neighbor is located across the street. We walked through the grassy area to the woods and a short path led us to an open meadow. There was a drainage pond on one side and in the distance was a working gravel pit. It was far enough away that my dog wasn’t bothered by it or interested in investigating it. We spent quite a bit of time exploring the area. We didn’t see any wildlife but there were a lot of deer droppings so I’m sure depending on the time of day you go, there will be deer in sight. We went back through the woods back to the grassy area. I kept my dog on the opposite side of the area from the neighbor’s house which includes a beautiful wooded area. There really aren’t any manicured trails through these woods, but if you don’t mind walking through sword ferns it’s fairly easy walking. It was a pleasant surprise to see that no berry vines had made their way into this area. Rather, native plants like Sword Ferns, Salal, Oregon Grape, Hemlocks, Doug Firs, Vine Maples, and an occasional wild rose were flourishing.
We really enjoyed this spot. It was big enough and had varied enough terrain that it kept us busy for a full hour. We will definitely be back!
For reactive dog parents: I have a reactive dog and was worried at first about the proximity of the neighbor’s house. However, we didn’t see anyone or any dog and it’s a big enough space that I felt comfortable with being able to keep my dog interested in the areas away from the neighbor’s property. I think it’s pretty low risk that you’d have any problem’s unless your dog doesn’t stay with you or respond to your voice. Bonnie B.

55This is one of our new favorite Sniffspots. There’s so much room to run and explore. We spent half of our time in the big open field through the woods and the second half of our time in the woods. If you like to explore natural wooded areas and are not fussy about manicured trails this is the spot for you: your dog will have a blast and you both will get a great workout. For reactive dog parents: If you’re worried about your dog running over to the neighbors house I’d suggest walking them on a leash down the hill and then either through the open grass area to the meadow or to the woods which are are your left side when you get to the open area. Overall a great spot and we plan on coming back often.Bonnie B.

55Leslie provided clear directions to their property as GPS does sometimes mess things up, and it was easy to find. One of our dogs has an issue with other people and other animals so they let me know they had their dogs in the house so that wasn't an issue at all. The property was gorgeous, our pups had a blast running around and checking everything out and it was nice to have such a big area to ourselves and not have to worry about anything besides the dogs having fun. As stated in other reviews there is a gravel processing area a little off in the distance, but our dogs didn't care much at all. One started heading that direction because she thought that's where we were headed, but we redirected and she was good to go. We will definitely be coming back!Cierra B.

55We love this property - it’s large and has enough variety, including open grassy areas and wooded areas, to keep us interested. This is our third visit and we really enjoy exploring the woods and my doggo loves doing the zoomies in the open field. We plan on coming back often. Bonnie B.

55We really enjoy this Sniffspot and had another great day here. Upon arrival we walked down the hill and into the open grassy area at which time we saw a deer. Needless to say my dog was all a twitter and gave chase immediately.
What a bonus! A bout of the zoomies was next on the agenda as we explored the area through the woods by the retaining ponds. Once in a while there was a dog barking in the distance but it was faint and it didn’t bother my dog. We love this spot - lots of room to run and explore!Bonnie B.

55We’ve been to several Sniffspots and this absolutely tops our list! So much room to run and roam! The pasture is clean and easy to navigate, the woods are beautiful with manicured trails, there are even toys to enjoy. We appreciate the double-wire fencing for extra security. Our GSD/Border Collie never even thought about the jumping it (especially with so much space, smells and sights within the fenced area).
Parking was more than adequate. Area was very clean and inviting.
We’ll be back. Again and again! Shana O.

55Wonderful romp-n-roam, here! My girl was quite taken with it but for her mom not taking into account the last several rainy days in light of such a beautiful sunny one. There are limits to her adventurousness, and muddy ground under her grass is it. Be mindful of your footwear. And don't forget the towel just in case. Like I did. ❤️Amanda S.

55This place is a reactive dog owners dream! Secluded (but easy to go get to) with a ton of quiet, fenced off space. It was so wonderful to just let my sweet girl run freely and not have to worry about other people, dogs, etc. We will absolutely be making this a regular spot!Bailey A.

55We had a great time with our pups here. There is a nice big open area for playing fetch and then a little wooded area for the sniffers. I have one of each and they both had a great time. We picked the hottest part of the day to go unfortunately, but there was water available for the pups and the wooded area is nice and shaded. Will definitely be back!Julie H.

55Wonderful area to take my boy. We are still working on recall so with some of the heavy brush in the back forested part i opted to keep him on a 30 foot lead so when we were done exploring i knew he would come out with me. Nice path to walk through the word area with my dog. Was the perfect setting and I look forward to going back. Stella S.

FAQ about our Pacific 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.
