55This place is AWESOME. One of the best spots I’ve been to. Access instructions are easy.. you just park outside the trail that leads to the Sniffspot and walk right in.
It is HUGE: lots of hidden trails, trees, and a variety of shrubs. My pup had a great time exploring and rumaging through different types of terrain. Some trails weave through the trees and thick veg and other trails lead to an open field of talk grass. There are small streams around the trees and a larger creek the further in you go (its muddy with little water right now but I bet its terrific for doggy-swims when its full). There are lots of great slopes amongst the treets and the owner has tied colorful makes on certain branches along the trails so it’s easy to find your way.
Just remember to bring good walking shoes and be prepared to walk through some thick vegetation/vines. some parts of the trail are uneven but the owner has laid out planks and/or thick branches to make things easier.
I will definitely be back!Cris B.

55Milo and I had a blast visiting this spot. We’ve been looking for an off leash area that’s close by and isn’t just a field to throw a ball in - we can do that at home. Anja’s property has it all! Mud, streams, hills, grass, a little waterfall, etc. It also has blackberry brambles and a lot of roots so be careful of your footing and aware of your surroundings! Milo is one pooped pooch. We’ll definitely be back. Lauren A.

55It was a beautiful sunny day and we had a really nice time walking through the cool woodlands. We’ve been here a few times and my dog always loves roaming and sniffing through the large property. He really enjoys the “cookie” that Anya leaves for him too. Thanks Anya for sharing your really beautiful piece of land! Bonnie B.

55This place is so amazing. It's such a beautiful place to hike. My dog loves everything about it: the tall grass, the mud flats, the creek and the waterfall. I love spending some time sitting by the waterfall and relaxing while the dog plays. Anja, thank you so much for sharing this magical place with us! Jennifer S.

55We have been here several times now and love it each time. In the recent hot weather we’ve been sticking to the woods which is several degrees cooler. It’s very peaceful and truly enchanting, as the name suggests. A truly great place to exercise a reactive dog. Highly recommended!Bonnie B.

55This spot is truly beautiful. I’ve been here 3 times now and it still is just as fun. Today was my first time taking the small trail to the left of the main big trail. I followed my dog to a small waterfall and she had fun running in the water. It’s relaxing, quiet, and clean. I will gladly pay to come back twice a month. Excited to see it in the Fall! Courtney W.

55I can't stress how much I love it here. This spot is amazing with beautiful ancient trees, tall tall grass, a river that doubles as a mud flat, loamy pine and cedar forests and absolutely beautiful nature everywhere. It was like being all alone in the wild and it felt so good to just disconnect and spend time letting my dogs be dogs. After the hike my pooches were pooped, and pretty dirty from the mud (be warned, this is nature, your dog WILL be dirty so bring towels!). We hosed them off and let them settle in the car while we met the hosts charming dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, chickens and the sweetest little donkey in the world. Our host Anja showed us around the best trails and was a laid back and very relaxing host. She clearly loves animals and our dogs liked her immedietly. She was above excellent in navigating the trails and giving us visual checks to find our way on our own next time. I will be back frequently!Kacie B.

55Beautiful spot! The uphill comments were no joke. I’m fat and old and almost died twice :) wear good shoes, bring a camera! My big puppy had a great time here. Plenty to explore but safe paths for my scaredy cat to pretend to be brave on. We went at low tide and it was gorgeous. I can’t imagine what high tide would look like. I will definitely go back. I would love to find the waterfall reviews mention. We had the added bonus of two of the sweetest, ultra polite, dog loving neighbor kids asking to pet our dog which made his day even better!

55My dog loves this spot. It’s really large and the terrain is varied, making it a great place to explore. My dog likes to splash around in the tide flats and if there isn’t enough water there, he will take a dunk in the small creek which runs through the forest. His favorite part of the property are the trails through the woods. Although one review indicated there isn’t much in the way of trails, I haven’t found that to be the case. We have found a number of trails and although they aren’t wide, they are easy to navigate without bushwhacking through underbrush. Overall, we find this to be a beautiful and peaceful spot for both humans and dogs to enjoy and get some good exercise. Bonnie B.

55My dog very much enjoyed exploring this wonderful forest area! Steep hill going down, and there a few trails that split off as you head down. At the bottom there is a green pasture area. Lots to explore! Would definitely recommend a pair or waterproof boots currently as it was a bit muddy due to rain.Natasha M.

FAQ about our Hoquiam 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.
How can I find dog fields in Hoquiam?
There are 17 dog fields in the Hoquiam area. The most popular dog field is Rusty Acres Dog Park. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
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 Hoquiam area range from $5.0 and $5.0. The least expensive dog field is Rusty Acres Dog Park. The most expensive dog field is Rusty Acres Dog Park. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
