55This place was great! Very secure even though it is right near the highway. Lots of thoughtful details from the owners, including frisbees and toys, a water pump with bowls, covered area for seating, and easily accessible trash can. Our pup ran and ran and sniffed and sniffed and had a blast! We will definitely be back. Kristin V.

55Patch and I found this Sniffspot to be great! It was perfect for throwing ball. There is a covered picnic table to sit and enjoy the surroundings. Allie J.

55Beautiful open space. My dogs loved it. There were ducks, neighbor dogs, and at least one cat visible, which was delightful for me and not a problem for my dogs, but potentially may not work well for dogs with strong prey drive. We'll definitely be back! Kira W.

55I was not able to make my time due to a situation at home but I am giving 5 stars because of the ease of booking, the early time slots available, and the kind message I received from the owner. I will try to visit another day. Kimberlee H.

55Amazing like always! Basket full of toys for the dogs to play with, the kiddie pool was full and clean, and huge clean yard for the dogs to run around. Easily our #1 spot to go to and you can really see how much work the host puts into making it a great spot for dogs to play. Austyn L.

55Always a great time here. My pup loves the kiddy pool. Plenty of open space to run and throw a ball. I even got to pick some blackberries when I was there. This has become one of our go-to spots. Lexy T.

55Just what we needed this morning! A nice walk from our sisterโs home, and our pup had a great time exploring and running and going after frisbee/balls. And the ultimate blackberry tasting option was a treat too. Thx very much for your generosity and ease for us in accessing this lovely spot! Jodi O.

55Such a great spot! TONS of room to throw the ball and explore. Super friendly host. Park-like setting. Room for lots of dogs! Easy access, close to the main road. Fully fenced. My dog wanted to chase every single cyclist that went by and probably eat the friendly ducks (all were safe beyond the fence) Your mileage will probably differ. I loved the kiddie pool, the shady spots and being able to drive in and close a gate behind me. There was even a little play house and an agility ramp! Thank-you for sharing your space!Wendy F.

55Great space with lots of room to run! The boys loved it and the kid was very enamored with the little play house. Do keep an eye out for the brush that has burs in it. My Sheltie somehow found his way into some and we spent part of our visit cutting the burs out from between his toes. But if there's a way to get into anything he will regret...he will do it every time!
Thank you for the fun play date! Kimberly D.

55We had a great time at this site, and didn't have any problems with stickers in his fur after. As other reviewers have said, the sniffspot area is not fenced off from the comings and goings from the house, so if the host is leaving or has guests outside, there are no extra barriers. This was not a problem for us, but for reactive dogs, this is a consideration. My guy did give a bark or two at the host when he saw them and then called off (they were super nice about it). In any case, we found it clean , with plenty of room to run, and the pool was great for him! Tyra M.

55Fun spot in town with lots of room for pups to sniff and run. The kiddie pool could use a cleaning, but otherwise perfect spot in town. Will be back for sure. Tyler C.

55This spot was lovely! Tons of space for my pup to run around and explore :) It was clean and super cute. Fun to see the pet ducks (safely fenced in), and my pup enjoyed running through the sprinklers to cool off a bit. Taylor B.

FAQ about our Vancouver dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs 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. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility 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.
