55Sammy and I had a great second visit at Stump Town! I am always so nervous visiting new spots with my reactive dog but this spot was so secure, and my pup and I were able to simply enjoy the beautiful scenery and environment. My pup gets such great exercise because of the incline and I love that he has various textures on his feet (grass, dirt, etc). Vanessa L.

55Nice, clean, plenty of stumps to smell! Good signage, poo bags hanging in different areas on fence. When the host emailed, the email mentioned steps down to area are steep. And they are. But we didn't have a problem.Loreen L.

55This was a great spot! Securely fenced and clean. My dog had a great time running up and down the hill and sniffing all the nooks and crannies in the stumps. There were toys, water (bring your own bowl), poo bags and even towels available to use. Nicole really goes the extra mile! We’ll be back for sure!!Sarah O.

55We love this Sniffspot. Big enough for our boy to run, and small enough for our senior dog to explore every inch. It's clean and very quiet. Sandra L.

55A fabulous Sniffspot! We have added this to our list of favorites. The description is very accurate - the property consists of a number of interconnected horse pastures and the outer rim of the property is entirely fenced. The description indicates the fencing is 4 feet high but it appeared to me that most or all of it was closer to 5 feet. The entire property is very well manicured and very walkable, although there is one hilly pasture which would be great for wearing out a ball obsessed dog. Speaking of which, Labradors (and other water obsessed dogs) will adore this Sniffspot. It has two ponds - large enough to swim in and play the ever popular fetch. There are also a couple docks that would allow for any dock diving dogs to have a blast. We visited on a rainy day, but in the dry, warm weather the the ponds’ “beach front” areas will be a strong attraction for humans too as they can lounge in the provided Adirondack chairs. There is one additional water feature - a creek - at the back of the property too. Overall, it is a beautiful park like setting and my dog ran back and forth and all around the whole time we were there.
Laurie was a warm, welcoming host too. I received a message from her immediately upon making the reservation and I learned she has a reactive dog too. This made me feel comfortable from the start as she understands well the need for a private, secure place for reactive dogs. She kept hers inside and crated during our visit and we never even heard any barking. In addition, she has horses but keeps them securely in the barn during Sniffspot visits.
Overall, we had a blast and plan to come back often. Highly recommended for reactive dogs and all others. Thanks Laurie for sharing this property with the Sniffspot community!Bonnie B.

55All I can add to the earlier, accurate reviews is that this Sniffspot is heavenly! Our dogs had a fabulous time, pretending to be racehorses on the lovely pasture land and around the fences. The hounds don't care for water, but had great fun checking out the rushes at the shore. Great host, super communication, and a lovely Sniffspot. Thank you Laurie!Susan A.

55Best Sniffspot we've been to! It's so beautiful and pristine. Our dogs loved swimming in the 2 ponds on the property, and we loved being there to watch them romp and play.
Horseback riders are nearby, so we diverted the dogs' attention, and two big loose dogs came barking at the owner's gate, but our dogs were non-reactive, so there was no drama.
We can't wait to go back! Deborah P.

55Laurie's property is absolutely beautiful and she is a wonderful host! My dog was in heaven tearing around the pastures, jumping into the pond, and exploring all of the smells - pure doggie joy! The property is enclosed just as described and is very safe and peaceful. Thank you for providing such an amazing spot and for making my dog's whole week! We will definitely be back!Sarah K.

55This is our new favorite Sniff Spot! The young dogs raced around the pastures while the old guy walked sedately with the people. It's a beautiful spot with lots of room for the dogs to explore. Like the host says, there are gaps in the gates where dogs could get out, but the perimeter of the property is otherwise very secure. My dogs were too busy exploring the smells, ponds and mud puddles to bother with the gates. It was wonderful to see their happy faces while they raced around. We'll be back. A lot.Victoria M.

55This was our 1st Sniffspot visit and I am afraid we are spoiled for all others. This gigantic playland for dogs is well fenced as my dog can attest to. She roamed every inch of what I believe is 10 acres. I have never seen her run and play as much as I saw her today. She is now asleep in front of the fireplace totally exhausted from a wonderful day. Laurie is a kind person who provided me all the information I needed to make this a safe, fun visit for me and my dog

FAQ about our Ellensburg fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public 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 public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Ellensburg?
There are 6 fully fenced dog parks in the Ellensburg area. The most popular fully fenced park is . You can browse all of our fully fenced dog parks here.
How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog 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.
