55My goldens loved the tall grass. The apples from the trees were also a nice treat and used to play fetch. But do bring water, since there was a water bowl but there wasn’t any water near by.Minh P.

55Huge lot! Amazing space for my pup to run around. He loved frolicking through the longer grass and tracking down his ball. Would definitely come back! Jenna M.

55Great, large space for pup to explore!!! Normally, we play ball, but this time, my (medium sized) dog wanted to run through the grass and sniff various places...Owner is very kind and there were plenty of poo bags, a couple water bowls, garbage can and some toys to play with under the apple tree by the white garage to the right and up the hill from the gate.

55It was FABULOUS! Pups had a GREAT time, plenty to sniff and plenty of room to run. It was a very quiet neighborhood; pups were very interested in sniffing along the goatpen fence but we never saw it (nor any deer). The gate is a little heavy and has to be lifted off the post concrete. It's not "boutique" but if you're looking for a big but quiet and well-fenced Spot with great sniffing opportunities, it CANNOT BE BEAT. We are signing up now to go again!Teresa D B.

55FABULOUS again! Beautiful big lot on a beautiful morning. Pups loved romping in the tall grass, bit of a hill was great for launching the Frisbee. The fence is mostly deer fence (6'+), except the gate.Teresa D B.

55The goat was out in its pen today (our first afternoon visit). Dogs were pretty wound up initially but were fortunately still on-leash; goat watched for a bit then moved out of view. Always a great place to romp!Teresa D B.

55Made it during the one hour of predicted sun - and rain came down in the sunshine! But it was fine, only a few minutes, pups didn't care and I stood under an apple tree on the hill (since - no lightening!). The goat took about 30m to walk off today so they spent quite a while on leash, but a great chance to train right on the edge of reactivity - and my "edge" as well working with two dogs at a time! LOVE this place, pups can run to their hearts' content. :)Teresa D B.

55Space was great, especially given that it’s not far from a very busy part of Tacoma. My three working breeds loved it!
There is a neighbor who walks past and their dog tends to fixate and pull them towards the space. If you have an easily triggered/reactive dog, just be aware! Tayah K.

55This is a lovely spot in the city for a dog to stretch out. A smaller dog could possibly get under the gate, but otherwise the fencing seemed secure. It was a great place for training our adopted cattle dog mix and to watch her have fun. Denise K.

55Big space to zoom around. My dog had good fun running and sniffing. Had a neighbor and their dog come to the fence, and my dog and their dog exchanged hellos across the fence. It was probably just their morning walk. Entrance was easily spottable. Will return again. Thank you for having us!Ayla X.

FAQ about our Tacoma dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Tacoma area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog field is Spot not available. The most expensive dog field is Spot not available. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
