55I live in the Vancouver area, so coming to Paula’s sniffspot is such a nice treat for my dogs. A HUGE open space to play fetch and practice training. Then to cool off we swam in the pond and river. She even had some goodies for my two boys. Megan O.

55My dogs enjoyed their visit including sniffing, running, and investigating. A convenient and pleasant location. There was a dog that became visible nearby on the premises at one point which was a trigger for my pups, but they were able to regroup and move on. I did not bring my small dog but would keep an eye on the main gate if I had as there is a slight small gap. 🙂Alison W.

55Whatcom County!! Denise offers boarding, doggie daycare and training! I wish we lived locally, I would totally take advantage of her services. Denise is very kind and is highly aware of the boundaries around our reactive pups. I appreciate how in tune she was.
This is a fantastic Sniffspot! Denise provides a secure entrance upon arrival. Several balls and ChuckIts. Filtered water for your pup to guzzle. A few places to sit - a couple out in the open and a picnic bench under the trees. There was tons of room for my shmedium dog to roam and run. Today was overcast and a little rainy and we had a blast!! The trees provide cover from the rain but we frolicked in the open. Enjoying the light sprinkle and the ChuckIt. My pup is finally learning how to fetch and I got to see more progress today. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Can’t wait to visit again next month!!Marena B.

55Denise was a joy to meet! She is a dog trainer ... so she's very knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior. The spot is clean and beautiful ... a big play area with trees around so there's plenty of shade for resting between all the ball and frisbee chasing. My pup had a fantastic time :)Lisa R.

55This is an awesome new sniff spot!! Denise was lovely and greeted us at or first visit. The space is very large, clean, and has very secure, tall fencing around the entire area. There is plenty of space if your dog is as obsessed as ours is with chasing a chuck-it ball. We cannot wait to come back!! Thank you for sharing your space, Denise!Steph J.

55The best ever!! Off street safe parking, magnificent Sniffspot with trees that provide shade and yet grassy areas to catch a sunny warm place. Secure fencing and gate, amenities are provided with care and thoughtfulness! Also has a table and 2 great benches to sit at to relax, let your dogs do their own explorations and sniffs while you can totally be relaxed. You are able to see your dogs wherever they go in the Sniffspot! This is my number one Sniffspot and also I would very much like to say how appreciative I am of the cost! This will allow me to visit so many more times and I highly recommend this Sniffspot… it’s like magic!Kerry D.

55My dog had fun! There were a lot of good smells and we brought a ball for fetch. The terrain is uneven and I'd recommend boots for humans. We could hear noises from ducks and geese in a pond near the road, with the occasional "moo" from neighboring cattle. (I only note this because my dog loved those noises, but reactive dogs may not love them).Kaitlyn M.

FAQ about our Pinantan Lake 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. 100% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Pinantan Lake 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 18 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 1 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.
