55This is our all time favorite sniffspot. The facility owners work hard to maintain the trails in the woods and keep the muddy spots to a minimum. If you can't keep your dogs out of water then be prepared for them to be muddy but a hose off area is provided. We simply love this spot!Linda J.

55It has been over a year since we visited due to moving to property of our own but wanted some cool shade to walk in today so went back out. I can’t believe all of the improvements Barb has made to the spot! It was already amazing but now is even moreso. It’s obvious Barb cares and puts so much work into making this awesome for both humans and canines!Ashley H.

55The owner was extremely kind, and friendly. During our stay we had complete privacy and the field was amazing! There are woods in the back with lots of fun trails, and everywhere was fenced in! Definitely my favorite spot yet! Taryn T.

55Barb is a wonderful host and very generous to offer such a great place for the dogs to run. As an owner of two sight hounds, I really appreciate the stability and height of the fencing. I drove up from Whidbey Island and will make the drive again just for this SniffSpot. Natalie J.

55My dogs loved this SniffSpot! There’s so much to explore and plenty of room to run. Their neighbor has an excitable Boxer that was out for a short period of time but it wasn’t a bother for us. Overall, we will be returning! Definitely our favorite SniffSpot so far. Tatiana G.

55Best SniffSpot we’ve ever been to! Instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Gorgeous land and plenty of room for our wirehaired pointing griffon to sniff and run. Our griff is leash reactive and doesn’t have the best recall yet so it was awesome to have a spot that feels so safe and secure for him to roam. Thanks so much, Ellen. We will be back!!Joseph B.

FAQ about our West Vancouver 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.
