55What a great spot to explore! I am always a little nervous trying new spots due to my dog's reactivity to people and dogs. This spot was as advertised - fully enclosed and not another dog or person in sight (although we could hear people in the distance). Grace, the host, was fantastic and greeted us at the start while giving our dog the space he needs to be comfortable.Kate C.

55Another great time with the pups. It was hot that day but with all the trees we stayed nice and cool. Perfect day!
If you are worried about how your dog will react to the goats, please dont worry. They are far enough away behind a fence. My dog's didn't even notice them.
I've already reserved a third visit.
Thanks again Grace for sharing this gem! Rachel N.

55This is arguably the best Sniffspot we’ve been to yet! Beautiful property with well maintained trails that loop around and let you feel like you could get lost but with the safety of knowing you won’t. Property line is very visible via fencing and we loved switching between swimming in the creek to running through tall grass to exploring through the overgrowth. Grace was an amazing host, we will definitely be back! Jaquie K.

55We had a great time in the mini forest. Our two dogs loved running around and even went in the water. Tons of space and was some good exercise for the dogs and us! Lots of benches and tables so we might bring a picnic next time. Grace was very nice and welcomed us as soon as we drive up. There was even a welcome sign for us! Looking forward to coming back. Thanks! Nicholas Z.

55We loved this sniff spot! Lots of trails to go on, and the dogs loved the creek to cool off and chase frogs. One of our dogs is pretty reactive but we had no issues, as the area is secure and private. Grace came out to meet us and was welcoming and helped guide us to where to go. It’s a beautiful piece of property and was very relaxing. Some areas are more wooded and there are some open grassy fields too. Zoe Z.

55WOW! This spot is absolutely beautiful for humans, and a DOGGY DREAM ADVENTURE COME TRUE. It far exceeded any expectation I had, and is WELL WORTH THE DRIVE. There is a creek, meadows and a forest with sniffs and nature sounds forever. My terrier never ceased exploring at full tilt, while my Shih Tzu and I were very pleased with the benches conveniently placed along the way. I had toys with me, but they never left the bag. Both pups were passed out on the drive home. Miraculous, as my terrier has NEVER slept in the car regardless of how many hours the trip!
This truly is a mini mountain so I would recommend some study shoes and water for humans as well as pups. It took us an hour to explore just the perimeter, so book for at least two hours to really experience this amazing property. There are many lovely places for a picnic. The property is fenced, but a good recall would be good as you can easily lose sight of your pups in the forest. You briefly pass a horse and goats while leashed on the way in, but no other animals or humans once over the bridge, so I would recommend for reactive dogs.

55Second time here, even better than the first if possible. This forest is magical. I felt at peace and centered and my dogs had the time of their life sniffing and exploring. It is beautiful and the hosts are great!David A.

55We went with a group of dogs, kids, and adults and we all left wet and happy (the kids and dogs more so then the adults)! We loved exploring and playing and ended our time with everyone getting in the creek. Thank goodness we brought towels! Thank you for hosting such a fun spot. We’ll have tired dogs tonight!Linsey T.

55Grace was so friendly and kind! Her property was so fun to explore. Our pup loved running through all the forested areas - though he might have been a little too interested in the goats & horse in the enclosure before the forested area. Overall, great spot & would return!Diana S.

55Really cool spot! This was our first time here. Grace is super sweet and greeted us on our arrival. After you pull into the driveway, parking is straight ahead behind a small shed/barn and clearly marked with a Sniffspot sign. You will walk through a gate to a small pasture...there are some goats and a horse but they are totally secured behind fencing and my Cooper barely glanced at them. The Sniffspot starts at the creek crossing and it's fully fenced! Really nice big area of grass and hilly terrain, we really loved it. Very peaceful and lots of trees. There is an outhouse in the family campground when you first enter the Sniffspot so that is really nice for people like myself who drive from over an hour away. We felt completely relaxed and happy and really enjoyed walking through the woodsy setting. We will definitely be back. Thanks Grace!! Susan D.

55OMG! my german shepherd, Maverick enjoyed the place so much! it was worth the drive from Des Moines. I should have booked 2 hours as 1 hour went by too quickly, not enough time to leisurely check out the rest of the lovely ‘mini forest’. Next time I will pack a nice lunch with me as the picnic area looks very inviting. The gracious host, Grace said that her siblings & their families would camp here almost every year in the past. I enjoyed the hike, i needed it. i loved the sounds of the creek, the birds, the trees & the calmness, peaceful, serene feeling up the hill. I also enjoyed sitting on the porch on one of the tiny cabins, while Mavey sniffs around and sat on my feet later on to rest. I will definitely come back, don’t know when yet, but i will.Susan C.

55Love this spot. My pup was so thrilled to be there. He loved interacting with the other animals there. He was so excited, he never even paid any attention to seeing the neighbor’s barking dog. It was a great opportunity to work on his reactivity with the other dog visible a couple pastures away. Host was lovely, kind and receptive to our needs. Definitely look forward to returning again and again. Sadaf H.

55Good spot for frisbee. Great for little dogs, not too big, not too small. My cattle dogs had a good time. My Jrt as always cared only about the frisbee, plenty room to send him for frisbee, full out catches. Dogs were surprised by chickens but ignored them after the initial woofs. There is shade when you should need it, and a clear space for play. I brought my own water for pups. Poop bags are provided which saved me from going back to car because I left mine inside. Very nice visit pups are tired and happy. Debra L.

The OK-9 Corral, .5 acre, fully fenced | Sniffspot
55We loved visiting Allison’s Ok Corral! It’s a beautiful country neighborhood and property. We visited on a warm day and the shelter was great for little water and rest breaks. We loved seeing the horses come out of their corrals! It’s a working horse farm so there is activity which doesn’t bother us, as Naia is a puppy so I feel like it was an added bonus for socialization and normalizing some distractions with farm life! We will visit again!Crystal H.

FAQ about our West Vancouver 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 West Vancouver?
There are 46 small dog parks in the West Vancouver 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.
