55This was such a fun place to play! The yard is securely fenced and private. The owners have dogs but they were very quiet. The yard is huge and has lots of room to play! Ample parking and water bowls, bags, a trash can, and a few toys were provided. They were also kind enough to let us play on Christmas eve. Definitely will be back!Kaitlyn W.

55Perfect Sniffspot for our pup. He's a recent rescue and this was a great area of get energy out and work on some of his reactivity. He's an escape artist and this spot felt very secure. Highly recommend!! Elisabeth W.

55Central Bark is a clean and secure open yard where my retired greyhounds had enough room to open up and show us the speed that makes them such remarkable creatures. The yard allows great visibility from every corner. You are eyes-on-dog the entire time. This yard is the answer to our prayers. I cannot praise them enough. We'll be backDavid H.

55Perfect Sniffspot! 10/10! 😍 The area is completely fenced and we felt safe the entire time. Our little guy has never had that much space to run before and I may have shed a happy tear or two watching him be filled with so much happiness and excitement. Kelly, the host, is amazing. She’s communicative and welcoming. Our pup is reactive and it’s always been so hard to find a safe place for him to play, while my husband and I have a peace of mind. We’ll be back a lot!! ❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Brandi J.

55Great place for exercising my active dog! My dog is reactive to strangers, and it makes going to parks/public spaces different because we have to focus on training/management; this was his opportunity to let loose, and he really did!! There were even toys there! As you can see, my dog went straight for a nap after Chloe N.

55The central bark was a great place for my and my parents dog to run around and play! They had toys that we could use, a water bowl and hose, and the fence was very secure. The host was great with clear instructions and parking was very easy!Grace M.

55Awesome spot! This was our first time using sniff spot when we found our agility class had bee canceled we were able to make a last minute booking here and it was great. So sad they’ll be closing soon but we’re going to used them as much as we can until then!Emma N.

55This farm has a big space for dogs to run and explore. It is shared as a horse pasture (not during your visit) so there are horse mounds to navigate. Expect typical northwest sloppy ground and your dog will need a bath afterwards if it’s wet outside. There’s a hose available to rinse off the pups and the host is very responsive. Our dogs left happy and tired! Sheila P.

55WOW! We have 2 English Setters and they did not stop moving once. More than enough room to run and roam! They really enjoyed exploring all the little hollows and bird action. Thank you! Aileen E.

55This was a great Sniffspot to take our pup to on a Sunday afternoon! Mary was able to accommodate a last minute booking and was communicative before and after our visit. Our dog had a BLAST running through the mud and munching on mounds of horse poop (gross)! Definitely plan on giving your worn-out pup a bath after your visit! Emma P.

55This was our first Sniffspot and it was great! My shy doggo explored the are and really enjoyed checking out the horses behind the fence. There is a good amount of horse poop and water so I definitely recommend wearing boots! We will be back! Maia J.

55Great spot! Definitely muddier than I expected so def listen to the earlier reviews and wear some boots. The area was beautiful and the host was very friendly & responsive. My pups have been in apartments for the past 3 years due to military moves and it was so nice to see them running in a yard again; as much as their excited barking may have told. This was our first Sniffspot use so we’re excited to be better prepared next time and see our pups come home tired and happy. Thank you!Madison S.

FAQ about our Poulsbo 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Poulsbo area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 291 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 56 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
