55Oh. My. Gosh. This is THEEEE most incredible find. Grace is the sweetest human ever (even as my hounds were barking and screaming at her from the car). Her property is absolutely stunning. Couldn't believe this was actually completely fenced in. The dogs ran for about 1.5hrs until one chased a heron into the marsh and submerged himself and decided he was ready to go home at that point. It was just spectacular, I felt like we truly were hiking out in the woods all by ourselves without having to worry about another hiker sneaking around the corner. The dogs ran and ran and are now passed out at home. We cannot wait to book our next trip to this incredible gem of a spot. Thank you for sharing your space, Grace. We loved it.Jillian M.

55This place is heaven! Rogue had so much fun on his birthday adventure. Running, sniffing, playing ball and swimming. He is worn out! It’s an hour drive from West Seattle. Book for two hours and bring a lunch. So worth it. Krista R.

55Best Sniffspot and nicest host we’ve been to. Grace was very nice and explained the details of our visit. The place is very well kept. We had a great time going up and down the hill and exploring the little trails. Our dog who loves the water enjoyed a quick splash before we left. We will definitely be back. This spot is highly recommended. Katherine A.

55Every time we visit we find something new to explore. We checked out a new trail this time and climbed to the top of the hill. The dogs also had tons of fun playing in the stream. This place is paradise. It’s well fenced (designed for goats) and has running water and is very relaxing. Come here as often as I can!David A.

55Amazing! I highly recommend visiting. Our two Australian shepherds were so tired from romping around. Grace was also so welcoming and created a cute little sign to invite us on her property. 5/5! Will come again. Sarah R.

55Second time here, even better than the first if possible. This forest is magical. I felt at peace and centered and my dogs had the time of their life sniffing and exploring. It is beautiful and the hosts are great!David A.

55We absolutely love everything about this spot! The space to play, hikes, and absolute peaceful scenery. We came when this spot first opened and it was great then. Grace has definitely added some awesome improvements as well to the area. Firstly, the sniffspot sign made it easy to find her place. Secondly, the parking area was clearly marked! We came on a muddier day earlier this summer and we’re able to enjoy the space fully though the two hours seemed to go by slowly, this time they passed so quickly! Thirdly, she added some benches which made it so nice to have a seat. My only thing would be remember to bring some bug spray as the mosquitoes were showing themselves this time!Jenna H.

FAQ about our Vernon 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.
