55Clear directions. Beautiful spot. Laurie came out to greet me as it was my first visit and gave me the lay of the land; much appreciated. My dogs (even the rain weenie) had so much fun running and running in the pasture and occasionally slowing down to smell the things. Great sniff spot.Janey W.

55This is a fantastic SniffSpot! Lots of room to run and play in the yard and in the paddocks. The ponds are nice to wade in or stop for a drink. Easy to find and access. Janet H.

55What an amazing spot for pups and people to enjoy. It's a tranquil country setting that is just perfect. Even though it was a bit muddy from the rain, if you wear your boots and bring some dog towels, it is still a great place to run even in the wet. I am excited to visit again when it's warmer. Thanks, Laurie, for allowing us access to your private haven. So much fun. Collette C.

55Our host was very accommodating and met us at the gate. She explained all the areas that we can be and cannot be. Unfortunately my dogs have a high prey drive and the main gate is not fully fenced out so I was unable to let the dogs completely off leash. I was worried one of my dogs would leave the property that we were in through the front gate and get lost in the rest of the 10 acres surrounding the location as it is simply a cattle gate that any dog could fit through. It was dumping rain so playing in the water was not an option. If you have a dog with high prey drive or poor recall, it may not be the best spot for off leash fun but next time I return I will utilize long lines and come back on a sunny day. It is a great place for training around Ducks, water, horses, recall practice and a beautiful and Serene environment to hang out in with your pooch on a sunny day. It is also a wonderful environment for a leashed sniff walk for highly reactive dogs or dogs who are convalescing, leash restrictions or seniors. There were no other humans or dogs present. Or for learning how to swim when the weather is nice.Elisa R.

55Another incredible visit to the ranch today! Even after the recent rains, my Dane and her English Mastiff BFF had great fun. So much room to run in the paddocks, and the humans greatly enjoy the serenity of the ranch and knowing our dogs are safe and secure. Ilana C.

55What an absolutely beautiful place! It is like something out of a storybook. This place honestly was as much of a joy for us humans as it was for the dogs! The dogs had a blast running in the pastures and swimming in the pond. Laurie was super warm and inviting. She has chairs thoughtfully placed throughout the sniff spot so we were able to relax a bit as well. I booked an hour and I think next time will end up booking it for two hours because my dogs were enjoying every minute of it! Can’t wait to come back here with the pups! Kelsey L.

55OMG!! I wish I had known about this spot before my big reactive boxer boy died. He would have loved all the water and pastures to roam without people, other animals and dogs. Izzy and I had an absolute blast. She played all over with MeMe and I got to socialize and enjoy the beautiful relaxing view. This will be my permanent "borrowed" play yard!!! 😁Heather H.

55This was amazing! It is rare to find a place with both water and acreage so we were thrilled with this spot. There was so much space in each of the fences pastures for our dog to run around and play fetch. The pond was also perfect since he loves swimming. Our extremely energetic German Shepherd is definitely tired now which can be hard to accomplish. Thank you for letting us use your property! Marissa V.

55We had a great time! The dogs ran around in the different pastures and tired themselves out. The property is beautiful and great for dogs that just need space to do zoomies or play fetch. The outside of the property is fully fenced and has the mesh fencing so doggies don't slip out, which means if your dog sees a trigger, they can't really escape and gives you time to go get them. We didn't see any animals or dogs and mine didn't care about the ducks in the pond (they'll take off on their own anyway!). We stayed in the lower pastures because my dog can be a little iffy if horses get too close and I didn't want him to cause any horseback riders to fall off if any walked by. The summer months will be great for a picnic and I'm sure lots of lush green grass for the dogs to roll in!Dorothy C.

FAQ about our Ellensburg 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.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Ellensburg area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is Ballard-Fenced-Yard-Near-Locks. The most expensive dog field is Ballard-Fenced-Yard-Near-Locks. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
