55I am very glad this Sniff Spot popped up in the neighborhood. This is a very nice size yard for Ballard and the yard is very clean with minimal obstacles. There is a nice running lane on the east side of the yard where the fence wraps around the house a little more to give your dog a chance to pick up some speed during fetch. My dog Pearl had a great time running around for an hour as evidenced by her falling fast asleep after eating dinner when we got home (that doesn't happen very often!) Even though the host Matt has two dogs we did not see any "evidence" of them in the yard. Thanks Matt for hosting and welcome to Sniffspot. We look forward to visiting again!John F.

55Soba had a great time playing with Lulu at Rebecca's sniff spot! Lulu is a high energy, but super friendly pup - a great workout partner for Soba. This backyard is large for Ballard, it's almost two lots. It's grassy and open with some trees and other plants for pups to check out. Soba and Lulu did run around the side of the house a couple times because it's not fenced on the side of the house, so if your dog tends to run away be aware of that. Soba also was interested in one of the free range cats, but the cat was much less interested in meeting Soba!David A.

55Our two doggos had a wonderful time at Rebecca's Ballard Puptopia :) We have 2 rescue dogs and it is nice to find some space for them to run and sniff around with out the anxiety that dog parks can sometimes bring them. They have a sweet doggy named Lulu who is super friendly and loves to run around and play if your dog is up for it! If your dogs are nervous with other dogs, they are happy to accommodate your needs so that your pups can have the yard to themselves. We were accompanied with great conversation while the pups ran and sniffed around and Rebecca even provided some yummy treats for the pups, which was an awesome plus! We will definitely bring our 2 girls back to this sniff spot and recommend to anyone in the area, whether your dogs aren’t crazy about dog parks and want their own space or one who just wants to run around with new fur friends!Rachelle H.

55Kuiper is currently passed out at home so must have had a good time playing here! I thought it was a nice size - big enough for her to run around but not so big that she could get out of sight and into trouble.
I moved some of the toys outside the yard because I didn’t want her shredding them, but she was so interested that she nearly squeezed through the fence trying to get them back! So be careful if you’ve got a small to medium sized dog. Erica G.

55My pups had a great time exploring! We didn’t have issues with any holes in fences as others mentioned. Smaller dogs may tho (our pups are 15 and 25 lbs). As others mentioned, gate is finicky and no water. Would be nice if there was an extra container of water next to the bowl offered. Enjoyed playing fetch with the ball provided and also had some gifted treats! We’ll be back! Youngji H.

55This was our first time using sniffspot and it was really easy and clear to find the spot. Sue’s backyard was spacious and clear, lots of space for our pups to run around. There were also some toys in the yard, and a bowl for water. Great spot, would recommend , thanks so much, Sue!Frankie S.

55Lovely spot for our anxious Golden Retriever. He had a lot of fun chasing his balls in the area. Backyard was well kept, easy access and pretty secluded in the backyard. Hope to come back soon. Lost a couple balls in the trees near the fence so just an FYI. Perhaps another dog will be able to sniff them out. Always grateful for those willing to rent their space out to us. Our family, especially Jackson, very much appreciate the hospitality. April M.

55This is a great yard to sniff & explore! It was clean & safe. The boys had fun wrestling & playing ball. There was one neighbor pup who was barking at the fence shortly after our arrival, but the considerate neighbor took him back inside pretty quickly. Kristie K.

55It took me a few minutes to figure out how to open the gate - but there is a laminated sign by the gate (may be covered in snow/dirt!) with instructions. The yard was perfect for my puppy's needs! A bit muddy - to be expected.Celine B.

55We love this yard! It's nice and flat, fully fenced, and has great grass. Lots of room for our furball to run around without getting triggered by other dogs or people.Beth K.

FAQ about our Suquamish 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 Suquamish 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 290 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 57 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.
