55My dog loved being able to lead us through trails off-leash and run off some zoomies on the main trail. The trails were so fun and easy to follow! Haley E.

55This spot was amazing. My dog got to run and explore a huge property without me being worried we'd get lost because of how well the trails were marked.Raven B.

55The effort to expand & connect the trails is greatly appreciated. This Sniffspot is very similar to hiking on public trails in the PNW without feeling the need to break leash laws.K Y.

55This was a great place to let my dogs run around. Pretty dense forest area. The trails and property lines were well marked which was really helpful. The location is a bit deep into the county and on a gravel road but was a nice drive. Anna B.

55Amazing! My girls had a fantastic time running through trails, exploring and rolling in the leaves. It was cathartic for all of us. Such a lovely spot, got me thinking of moving to Yelm. It doesn’t get any better! Trails are well marked and fun to wander, so many. Perfect day!Michelle W.

55I love this spot! Not just because the owner is very kind and let me know there is fresh water out and toys, but there’s horses! My puppy did the play bow to the horse and wanted to play!! Mary R.

55The horse pasture was pure joy for my girly. She loved playing with her jolly ball in it today!
The horse's we're great also and it was a good leaning/training session as well for my girl. Even though she really didn't notice them much unless I got closes to them.
If you don't care about a little pooh on your paws and boots the area was great for an hr of kick ball or fetch. And for just getting your pup used to a new animal.
The place was very well kept up Allard all definitely a redo for us!

55Was a very nice size yard to run the 4 dogs in.
Gates are livestock gates so my two small dogs had to stay in the car.
Also the horses are not scared of the dogs so they were interested and came up to the fencing. My personal dogs were not ok with the horses so close so our visit was very short.
Host was amazing in communication though! Kirsten A.

55Place is really easy to find. It’s nice and spacious for ball throwing and running the distance. There were also a few toys to use. There were two beautiful calm horses who didn’t react to our crazy pups. Be wary if you have a small runner, as they could fit through the main entrance. Overall 10/10 definitely a great place to run around with your pups!Ken P.

55This fully fenced property was perfect for our two large dogs. Plenty of toys and water. Owners are very polite and easy to talk to, even giving us some recommendations for our dogs. We will definitely be going back in the near future. Thomas F.

55I couldn’t figure out how to get the gate open and the hosts came and helped out. They were very nice. It was a great location with more than enough space for the dogs to run. I’ve never had the space for my dogs to run full speed so it was fun for the humans and the dogs!Nyki B.

55We had a great time here. The host was worried about the tall pasture grass but my dog loved searching thru it. Not muddy at all even though we’ve had tons of heavy rain.
There are cows next door, that was a new experience but proved to be an awesome training opportunity.
The fencing along the cow side is just barbed wire, so I’m sure if your dog is super prey driven towards these cows or the chickens in the distance, this could be a problem. It wasn’t for us at all. Heather F.

FAQ about our Yelm 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 Yelm 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 274 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 28 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.
