55Craig is a beyond a phenomal host. He and his two Rotts stayed with us for playdates - a full 2 hours in the rain. Such hospitality and unexpected turn of event. The spot is perfect for swimming with big beautiful creek and Craig offered to teach my pup to swim when water gets warmer and low later in the Spring. Craig mentioned a place to hike so we will have to check that out next time. Note, there’s a camper on site in the field but was told it only happens on weekends. They have dogs, so if your dog is reactive, drive your SUV or truck to the creek on a muddy path. Which is a good .2 miles from his house to the creek. My pups and I look forward to coming again and socializing with his dogs. Kate T.

55Lots of room for the pup to run, exploring the trees and watching the horse in the next field over. Fresh water was available for him on a warm day, much appreciated. Fir P.

551st experience and it was a good one. Dogs had room to roam and sniff. Close to home for us, but not far from town either. Fully fenced, no other animals within reach. Horses were on site in a different field. Wish was a tad closer! A+++ and will rent here again 💯 %Cory N.

55We had a fantastic time at Richards Sniffspot! My two pups had the best time exploring and chasing each other.
There were a few gaps my escape artist of a dog could have gotten out of, but I was able to cover the spots with items that were around. Aneesah R.

55My dogs loved this sniffspot! Miss Molli loved the “canoe pool” and Ella-girl had a great time just rolling around. Molli did spot the horses, and I was worried about her going under the old gate that looks like it leads to their pin, but she’s very well trained with “leave it” (she has such a high prey drive that “leave it” is a necessity) but I just kept her away from that area and didn’t let her try to go under. Also, wasn’t sure how to latch the entrance gate? But I’m creative, so I jerry rigged a way to keep it closed. I will admit, there could have been a latch that I didn’t see, but my dogs were so excited to get off leash and smell the smells, that I didn’t look too hard for a latch. Overall, we had a great time! Thank you 🥰Haiden H.

55The host is really wonderful at communicating how to get to the location and where to park. She also showed us around when we got there and gave us the lay of the land. The area by the river is a nice quiet spot away from everything. And the field around the property is great for running and sniffing! Our dog had a great time and we had fun watching him explore!Ambra R.

55We had an amazing time at this spot! The hosts were great at communicating, very personable, and could not have made us feel more welcome. We truly appreciate their understanding and catering to reactive dogs. They met us upon arrival and fully explained the property while Frankie was in his covered crate in the car. The property is gorgeous and well cared for with great views and so much to explore! We loved the water access, camping area with swing, and easy walking spots. From the walking area along the water, we saw a few cyclists (the host informed us of this ahead of time!). We actually ended up really liking this–they were far enough away to be safe for Frankie's level of reactivity, but close enough where we could practice some DSS/CC training whenever we saw them. However, the property is so expansive that you could avoid them totally if needed. We didn't have a chance to see everything in this magical place in just one hour, so we'll definitely be back with more time booked. We're so thrilled that a Sniffspot opened close to us and plan on becoming regulars! Mickey B.

55Jessica was very helpful with directions and meeting us to orient to the property on our first visit. The dogs appreciated the variety: large hay field, corn fields, a fun marshy area with tall grass, and the waterfront. View of the mountains on a clear day. The property is not fenced along the road, and the waterfront area is on one side while the fields are the other, so you may want to leash your dogs while crossing. There is a slope upward to the road on both sides that felt like a boundary of sorts, and we were comfortable with dogs off leash once we were on either side and with some distance. There are cattle and horses (fenced), but easy to avoid if that’s a problem. Also some gunshots in the distance, but the dogs were too busy exploring to mind. Karen H.

55Wonderful large spot. Easy to find. Easy to park and stay a good distance away from the owner's house (we are a socially distanced household currently). Large field that was adequately maintained for a nice walk n run with the dogs. We'll be back!Melissa C.

55We had a wonderful time letting our young dog run in this field. He can really stretch his legs and go fast! Just FYI, he is a hunting dog and did happen to find the dead carcass of an animal. It is so nice to feel out in the country so close to the urban area. Thanks for a great experience! Jessica N.

FAQ about our Vader 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Vader 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 89 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 10 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.
