55Honestly, this is our go-to spot! Options for shade and sun, varied terrain, grass to roll in, and no dogs/other creatures to be seen. My pup usually goes with her bestie, but i had a day off today so took her solo and she had just as much fun romping around on her own. We'll be back! Kate B.

55Allisons private dog park was the perfect place for our dog to both run and relax today. We were able to drive right in to the space so didn't need to leash our dog at all. The I acre space is mostly grass so great running space...and not muddy. There are old fruit trees and plantings dispersed so its interesting space. There is also a massive firepit with large seating rocks and a log for seating. Good to chill out after running & zooming.
Our dog who is normally very reactive and barks incessantly especially at new people, gave a few barks but instantly was just excited to meet Allison and stopped barking. It felt like an incredible breakthrough moment for us. There are people visible in surrounding yards but for the most part our typically reactive dog wasn't even bothered.
If your dog likes to fetch or pkay with toys you'll need to bring them with you. We forgot ours today but luckily, there was a a left behind tennis ball.
A great space with a lovely host and we plan to visit often. Rozarii L.

55This is a big, lovely, fenced property in a quiet area. Parking and access were easy. The dogs had a great time running and chasing in the open grassy spaces or circling the garden areas for extra fun. The fencing was secure, and while the spot does share fence lines with two neighbors, we saw no one out. We brought our own water, bowls, and toys for the dogs. It was a very pleasant first visit and we would gladly return. Ann J.

55As anither reviewer mentiobed, there are dogs in neighboring properties on each side. The fence is chain link so very visible. Initially we were a little concerned as we didn't know how our recently adopted dog would react. He is very reactive to dogs & people on walks - hence the reason we can't walk him and have to use sniff spots instead. The wonderful thing for us was to watch our dog interact so well with the neighboring dogs. No aggression on any part. Our dog exercised himself twice as much by running back & forth between us and the neighboring fences to visit the other dogs. For us it enhances our experience.
Also , of note. The neighborhood was very quiet on visits during the week. It was much busier with people and children walking on the road & visible on the weekend. A good mix for us as we help our dog get used to environmental stimulants. Rozarii L.

55Place was a good size. Perfect for a sunny day because there’s trees throughout that provide pockets of nice shade. Want to just keep a good eye out since there’s twigs and pine cones all over that your fury friends might try to eat. Bring water/bowl and toys as we didn’t see any there. Alea C.

55The dogs had a great time playing today. This is a big beautiful yard with lots of space to run and chase. There is plenty of grass and interesting places to sniff. We did experience the neighbor's dogs barking at the fence toward the end of our visit. It was a bit disruptive but we worked to help our dogs through it and return to their play. A shared fence with other dogs is not ideal for a sniff spot but we were able to use it as a training opportunity. This is still a spot we will visit again. Ann J.

55My 2 pups has a great time! Lots of good sniffing: grass, trees, piles of brush. Everything a canine snoot could want. Ample room for running and throwing a ball. Good amount of shade for those warmer days.
We did experience 3 dogs in the neighbor's yard. They barked when they saw our dogs. Two left but one (livestock guardian type mix?) continued to bark and let us know s/he was there 😄. My dogs are typically VERY reactive to other dogs, but for whatever reason my pups mostly ignored the neighbor dogs. I was really surprised and delighted.
Would definitely visit again!Jayne O.

FAQ about our Tacoma 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.
