55Nine fenced in acres! Chance loved it! My yard is fenced but not large enough for him to just run full force. He was able to do just that today! We will definitely be back.Deanna R.

55Our dogs had a great time safely running free in Kathy's fenced acres. We got a bit muddy so glad I brought towels. Next time I will bring water and dishes. They plan to add water in this spot soon. Host is friendly and thoughtful. Loved our first time using sniffspot and plan to return here often. Thank you!Katcha N.

55Huge fenced in area. Plenty of area to keep the pups exercised, entertained and busy. The owner comes out and greets you and goes over the lay of the land if it’s your first time. Anthony D.

55Amazing! Kathy was so kind to meet us and show us the “ropes” for our first visit. The space was so clean and well cared for. She has excellent systems in place to ensure gate safety for her guests. My dog absolutely loved being able to really stretch his legs running around. There are great spaces to sit for the humans. The area seems to have really good drainage, we didn’t have any mud to contend with. Of note, but not at all of concern to us, is that the little trail leading back to the fenced area did have a little mud- just a little note to those booking to wear appropriate shoes. We will be back on a regular basis. Thank you so much, Kathy!Sheri F.

55Very spacious and peaceful area as expected with numerous bushes and trees adding interest for the dogs. The random tunnels were an interesting bonus. Comfortable seating and cleanup stations at multiple areas. Bring bowl and water just in case. I didn't notice any but we had some back at the car. Some toy options provided. Fencing and gate seems very secure. Highly recommend this space!Jamie R.

55First time to this area and we loved it! The little walk through the woods to the gate is fun and full of smells and the actual fenced area is gorgeous! Ample places to sit while he explored and chased birds (they are fine, no one went missing). The area is so well maintained and the trail very well marked.Kendra L.

55The host is very nice. She met with me and walked me back to the fenced in property. The property itself is well maintained. There are a few benches, picnic tables, and a swing for dog owners. There were two waste stations with bags and trash cans. The property offers open acreage for exploring as well as some shaded areas to take a break from the sunshine. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely come back again! Amy Y.

55This was our first time at this spot. We paired it with a visit to “the pond.” Beautiful property. Lots of trees/bushes and our dogs loved zooming around and hiding from one another. If your dog is not a fan of water, I recommend this spot over “the pond.” There’s more for non-swimmers to explore at “the acres.” We will definitely be back! Lindsay L.

FAQ about our Holtwood dog hiking trails
Are dog hiking trails 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 a city or county park. With a Sniffspot off-leash area 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. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.
How do I know if a dog hiking trail works for my dog?
Sniffspot provides the tools to find the ideal spot. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing 6 feet tall and distractions, to find a dog park with trails that works for your dog. You can also filter by size if you are looking for a certain acre park, an expansive off-leash dog park. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog hiking trails. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog hiking trails where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Since you are looking for trails, make sure to check photos to see if it the spot has flat trails or gnarly trails. You can also browse by specific amenities, if you are looking for a view or a beach, for instance, or other activities or fun features. You can check whether the spot has off or on street parking, the regular park hours, whether it has paved trails or a modern restroom.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog hiking trail?
In order to hike the trails, we require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot hiking trail 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.
How much do Sniffspot hiking trails cost?
Dog hiking trails in the Holtwood area range from $9.0 and $9.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Beautiful dog loving yard in Seattle. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Beautiful dog loving yard in Seattle. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
