55This was the perfect spot for my dog, just what I was looking for. Lots of space where he could just roam and explore off leash. I will definitely be back!Melody P.

55Host came out to meet us and gave some instructions about the field and trails. She was super nice! We had the best time ever! It was nice enough just hanging out in the field, but was so much fun meandering through the trails in the woods. 3 very tired dogs on the way home. Can’t wait to come back soon!Ashley J.

55Wow! This was amazing. When I adopted my boy, I got an athletic dog so we could go hiking together, but due to his leash aggression and reactivity towards strangers, doing off-leash hikes was out of the question. (We’ve worked extensively and it’s been a huge challenge). This was perfect for us! My boy got to run through trails, chase balls in an open field and get really muddy! He had so much of a blast I had to leash him up to get him to leave after he caught a scent of a bunny. He was muddy (it was raining) and tired and so happy.
Barb was so kind when we arrived and gave us a thorough orientation of the spot. What a neat place!!!Danielle D.

55We had so much fun at Barb’s sniff spot and I know both me and my 2 dogs would love to go back! Barb greeted me at the car and gave me a quick lay of the land which was helpful because it’s a large property! She was also so gracious to provide some clean up supplies after one of my pups got carsick in her crate on the way there. Her space was well equipped for both dogs and humans! My dogs didn’t mind the mud - but I definitely should have been more prepared with boots. So many trails to explore - can’t wait to book again! Kelsie S.

55Wow!!! I’m pretty sure my little man had his best day EVER today!! He left a sopping muddy mess, and no toys needed. He had a blast!! He’s still pooped and actually ate all his dinner this evening! 💯% worth the time, travel (from Lynden) and money!
I enjoyed the stroll through the woods as well.
Barb was very welcoming, and we will definitely return! Katy B.

55This spot is absolutely great! A lil slice of heaven for my furbaby and me. I am sure the walk in the woods was just as good for my soul as it was for hers. This was our first time using SniffSpot and I have already booked our next play time at Barb's. The host was kind, helpful and so thoughtful with all the amenities she provides. Thanks Barb, see you in a couple weeks. Lisa B.

55So thrilled that you allow us to use your little piece of heaven! Our car-chasing reactive girl hasn't been off leash for over a year. She had a ball and may sleep for days! She did a full perimeter check - no gaps in the fence. Trails were in great shape. Barb and her husband were wonderfully patient with our loud barking pup. Fantastic spot! Thank you!Theresa S.

As soon as we let Benny off-leash, he ran through the field and then headed for the woods. He ran circles around us on the trails. If there was water and mud, Benny found it!

My reactive rescue who struggles on walks in busy areas was able to have the time of his life running on the trails, splashing in the mud, and sniffing through the pasture. We’ll definitely be back!

55What a wonderful place!!! I am so glad we found it. Barb was lovely, and met us at the beginning of our visit to welcome us (she was so patient and respectful of my dog who is reactive). The location itself couldn’t be better. There is a massive field for throwing the ball and playing, and beautiful woods and trails to sniff and wander. Best of all, there are all sorts of toys for pups like chuck-it and frisbee (in case you forget your own), poop bags, garbage cans, and great places to sit for the humans. We cannot wait to come back!Amanda W.

FAQ about our Richmond 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 Richmond?
There are 71 fully fenced dog parks in the Richmond 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.
