55Super spot. Neighbor dogs can bark at fence line, today while I was there they were called in and my dog and I went on our way to explore. There are lots of steps and hills, if your dog or you have mobility issues it could be a factor. Ann W.

55This is a great time to visit. The leaves are turning on the beautiful landscaping. I added a note to Mary Ann when I booked the visit and she had the chicks in the coop so my pup can sniff and run without that distraction. Highly recommended. Thank you, Mary Ann!Gail W.

55We absolutely loved this spot. There were so many places for Yoshi to explore. The different levels on this property gave us and our pup a great workout. He paused for a bit to look at the chicken pen, sniffed the air, and then proceeded down the path unfazed by them. We've been focusing on his "stay with the pack" training and walking the property safely met our needs. My husband is recovering from hip surgery so the exercise he got walking the property with Yoshi was an added bonus. We will be back.Nancy W.

55Wow. This place is amazing. It's like renting your own personal, fully-fenced park. My dogs went crazy, running up and down the hills. As a bonus, I also got some fresh eggs! We will definitely be back. Sharon J.

55Just what my 8 month old Golden puppy needed! She ran, sniffed, chased her ball and we worked on recall. Lots of room to roam with little trails all over. Chickens ( in a fenced area) too!
The yard is not suitable for anyone who’s not able to walk up and down sometimes steep terrain. My hour went by so fast! We’ll be back!Lisa H.

55Great spot for the 3 fur babies to stretch their legs. It’s a vast property with rock trails and plenty of hills. There’s even a chicken coop that held my dogs fascination for a minute. This place is literally five minutes from my home in Canterwood. We will definitely be back . Bobby L.

FAQ about our Vashon 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.
