55What a great spot, beautiful and peaceful! Different areas to run/fetch, climb around a dry creek bed, investigate separate paths along trees, and have a splash in a pool. We had fun working on recall and introducing the agility jumps (great size for starters and short-legged Corgis). One loose dog came up to the fence, he/she was quiet and polite, while mine barked until I called them back so it was a good training distraction. My dogs had a great first visit, and we’ll be back.

55What a wonderful spot! We love the agility equipment, and it was a great way to introduce my dogs to it in the peaceful setting of this Sniffspot. We had everything we needed, easy access to water, plenty of bowls, even a splash pool. The property is well maintained and free of hazards. We would definitely come back. Daryl Z.

55Such a beautiful property. The large fenced area is super clean and fun to let your dogs run and explore. My dog Bailey loved exploring the area and running through the trees. Thank you again for opening up your property. They have everything you need (poop bags, hand sanitizer, toys, water bowls). Katie E.

55We had an amazing time with Arwen here! We tried out the agility equipment and played a ton of fetch. Arwen even loved to watch the neighbor’s horses from afar. And the A-frame was so nice to have for shade since today was unusually warm. Would definitely love to come back again ☺️Lesley B.

55This is a great spot! Very secure fencing and gates so no worries about the doggies getting out. It's only about a third of an acre so it is large enough for the dogs to run and explore but not too big to manage. There are toys, water bowls, waste bags and agility items. This spot is very nice and well worth the short drive from Oregon City or elsewhere.Craig P.

FAQ about our The Dalles small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in The Dalles?
There are 3 small dog parks in the The Dalles area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
