55My jaw dropped when we pulled into this place. The property is gorgeous and they really went all out on another level. John was nice enough to give us a little tour before we ventured off with the map he gave us and there’s plenty of adorable signs so it’s easy to follow along. The stream/river was so clear compared to other places we’ve been. My dogs couldn’t get enough of this place! We also met Stephanie on our way out and she was wonderful.
*Caution* Little mishap on OUR part but figured I’d mention it so other people can be hyper aware: Although the river seemed shallow today there’s a slight drop off that John did warn us about- our little dogs ball ended up floating down into that small cove under the trees so she zoned in and couldn’t get out on her own. My boyfriend jumped in to pull her out but you can say we’ll be leaving our phones in the car next time! Haha. This absolutely won’t deter us from coming back just lesson learned and wanted to pass along the info!
Thank you again John and Stephanie your place is a dreamland for dogs❤️Lexi D.

55This is our second visit, and right after much snow and rain. While a bit muddy the little bridges and trails were not bad. I wore heavy duty rainboots and didn't slip.
This place is great for my very active guy to explore and sniff, and it's sort of magical up that hill! Tracy J.

55Beautiful property. John has clearly put a lot of love and work into the trails. Loved the pretty bridges throughout. So many trails to explore, it was just as much fun for me as it was for my dog. John is a wonderful host and gave me a quick tour so I knew where to go. We will definitely be back!Lisa M.

55John greeted us on arrival and showed us around. Great property with many trails and spots to explore. Our dogs loved the stream and running up and down the trails. We booked for 2 hours and it was just enough to have the most sleepy pups on the way home.Ted M.

55Such a great visit! Virgil loved the creeks and trails. We had a great opportunity to practice recall. Lots of great benches to sit on throughout the property. We wore waterproof boots which were great for all the creeks. We can’t wait to come back!! Athena J.

55We had such a great time - running up and down the trails, checking out the rivers and playing with sticks. There was lots to explore. The host was great, met us and walked us around the property. We’ll definitely be back. The sniffspot is not fully fenced, but we had no problem keeping our pup inside the boundaries. Emily H.

55John is the most gracious host we have ever experienced! He was so sweet and respectful to our anxious dog who normally doesn’t like other people, but didn’t bark at him once. The property is AMAZING! We live an hour away and fully plan on coming here every free weekend we’ve got. John gave us a full tour and explained all of the different areas and boundaries. It is plenty fenced enough that you won’t even notice it’s only partially- I know we didn’t. Our dog has never been more exhausted, he had the best time ever and so did we. Thank you so much and we can’t wait to come back soon!Lex F.

55This is an amazing spot! The host was extremely nice and showed us around the park before leaving us to explore. Our dogs loved all the new smells and places to run. Our big dog loved the river and creeks that ran through the park (make sure to bring towels! Our came in handy today!) We also really loved the farm animals that were in the pasture. Our barker had to show off her voice when the cows came to say hello and our other one was so interested in the goats that walked us to the car. We recommend this place to anyone and we will be back very soon! Amanda M.

55I gifted this visit to a couple of newcomers to the PNW, and they absolutely loved it! John gave them a tour of the property, and they raved about the beautiful setting. Their dog arrived home exhausted, and that’s the whole point, right?Courtney S.

55Best Sniff Spot ever!! I’m so grateful to this family for sharing their space with all the nervous and reactive pups out there!! The area is huge with a big open space for frisbee or chuck it, surrounded by lots of interesting trails and streams that my dog LOVED to explore. John introduced us to the farm animals, including the two beautiful Scottish Highland Cows, which was such a great learning experience for my dog. I will definitely be back!!jenny r.

FAQ about our Puyallup 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 Puyallup area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Place to run your dog. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Place to run your dog. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
