55I have three dogs, Big Dino the Little Bambino, Meatball and Freddie Mercury! Two bullies and a golden doodle. We stay away from dog parks for two reasons. People with their unbridled fear of the breed. And again, people, that are irresponsible with their pets. I wanted them to not only run but have woods to frolic in. This checked all the boxes. It's a bit of a trek from the Central District Seattle but WORTH IT!!!!! It's secluded and peaceful. I needed this for them and myself. There's water, there's seating and there's toys! The directions are detailed and simple. I love the trees, the land, and the woods!!!! The host warned me that It was a bit muddy (it goes with the territory) but that was fun too!!!! The doodle plopped himself down in the mud with a big grin on his face. She was also concerned for Meatball because I had to cancel due to a surgery which I thought was so kind. Even with all the beauty and attention to making this a perfect experience nothing could match watching my boys run free with the best look on their faces!!!! It was priceless and brought tears to my eyes. Truly a wonderful experience that I have nothing at all to critique! It's perfect! We will be scheduling another romp soon! Thank you so much!!!!!Bella B.

55This is a new favorite property and we will definitely be back! My two city dogs enjoyed running around in the primary Sniffspot area and absolutely loved exploring the forest area. We play “find me” (hide-and-seek) and this dense forested area was perfect for this. I was impressed with the secure fences that surrounded both areas and keeps the dogs very secure. We booked 90 minutes and that was just the right amount of time to run, explore, and relax a bit. My dogs didn’t want to leave. We never saw a single soul or critter, so I would recommend this spot to anyone with dogs with reactivity issues. AMY T.

55We had a blast, as always. Our boy gets to run and be free with no distractions. He wore himself out in the first 30 minutes, playing with his favorite toy, as usual. We really enjoy this spot and it is perfect for our reactive boy. Thank you for creating and sharing this space. 😊Stacy R.

55Our dogs love roaming the woods and running up and down trails. They don't get the opportunity to do that much in the city and this spot was perfect for them to run and sniff and explore!Jennifer K.

55Not too muddy currently unless you go to the far back woods section. Clean as it normally has been for us in the past. Dogs had a blast as they usually do here. One of the most secure spots. Very much appreciated! LEEANN Y.

FAQ about our Richland 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.
