55I have been going to Ranch Setting since the summertime and each time my dogs have a blast so much so they run and try to hide from me when their time is up! So many toys to play with and room to run free....oh and there is a Keurig coffee machine for the humans :)!Jennifer J.

55My first visit and I met Fran who is lovely. Directions for what driveway to enter and where to park were clearly marked with signs. Fran showed me around and gave me the details; I was Amazed at all the little details she has thought of. There is a shelter in each area in case it rains and you want to shelter while your pups roam, chairs, dog toys, water, so much, much more. There isn't a thing she didn't think of for the comfort of the humans and dogs. My dogs aren't really toy dogs, but one toy which hung from a tree caught my young one's attention and we had a blast with it. Today was sunny and I have to say I enjoyed kicking back and reveling in it while my dogs sniffed and roamed and wrestled and ran. Janey W.

55We had another successful outing for our dog reactive boy, Hurley at Ranch Setting. As always the area is super clean, secure and offers tons of amenities for both Hurley and ourselves. He really enjoys brushing up on his agility and we warmed our hands by the space heaters! Fran always goes above and beyond. Can’t wait to be back!Catherine J.

55The Ranch Setting sniffspot is fantastic! There are 5 fields that your dog can explore at your leisure. Each field is fully fenced, but open the gate(s) between fields and your dog(s) can run the whole gamut! There are toy boxes, water stations, and waste stations in each field as well as places for owners to sit and relax. A couple of the fields have a bit of a slope to them but nothing too bad and there are flat fields as well for the dogs to play. The host Fran goes above and beyond for guests as well, providing goodies not only for pups, but for humans as well. There are always drinks and snacks available as well as charging stations, heaters, fans, chairs etc. to make sure the people are as happy as the pups! I recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

55Great time today! Cooper had so much fun running around sniffing while I bounced from shelter to shelter....there were lots of smells for him today...so many that he wasn't interested in toys at all which was nice for me. It was rainy and chilly so I was really happy to have the tents to stand under and the space heaters to warm my hands while I watched my boy racing around happy as can be. We always really enjoy our time here and every visit is different than the one before. Fran works hard to keep her guests comfortable and happy and is so thoughtful. Our very most favorite Sniffspot. ♥ ♥ ♥Susan D.

55Fran rocks! She is so super kind and generous and I'm always amazed at her ability to think of anything and everything to make Ranch Setting incredible. Just when I think it can't get any better, inevitably it does somehow. We always feel so welcome and safe here. Very nice open space with tall secure fencing and loads of activities for the pups. Great place for your reactive - or non reactive - pup! Susan D.

55This is the first Sniff Spot we have visited & I'm so glad that we did! We have been here several times now & we absolutely love it. I have two large breed energetic puppies who run & play hard. It is wonderful for dogs that need a lot of space to really run. All of the fields are fenced & you can open the gates to allow more room for your dogs to run between fields. One field has agility toys for smaller to medium dogs & Fran has a variety of toys for dogs of all sizes. I was so pleased to see toys for large breeds included. There is also a tug toy for the larger dogs hanging from a sturdy tree in the middle field. There is fresh water for the dogs & pet waste bags available in all the fields. For humans there is covered seating & coffee, hot water & tea. So appreciated in our pnw weather! I try to bring my dogs here once a week if I can as it really helps them to be better dogs. I am so appreciative to be able to bring my dogs here! Fran is an awesome host & I highly recommend her ranch!Sheri M.

55We are always amazed at the care that Fran takes to make sure her guests, both two and four legged have a delightful time. From every toy that you can find at Mud bay to four large fenced areas for the pups to enjoy, not to mention hot coffee and people treats. We have been coming to this snifspot for several months and we really enjoy our weekly play sessions.Roger E.

55To be honest in this review...we were not able to make it on the day that we booked. We woke up to sick kiddos. But we have been to Fran’s before and LOVED it. It is the only Sniffspot we will ever go to. I am sure there are plenty of excellent places out there but I can’t imagine a sniffspot better than Fran’s. Our first experience was incredible. There were tons of toys for all size dogs, beverages for the humans (😄) and plenty of gated off play areas for the dogs. It was amazing! We hope to book again and apologize to Fran for the no show! 😣Katie Z.

55It's always such a treat coming here. Soooo happy to have all of the various shelters to duck under and the warm tea is amazing on dreary chilly days. Cooper never tires of being here and it's nice watching him grow more and more relaxed and happy with each visit. Having a safe worry free spot has really made a difference in our lives and we thoroughly enjoy our time here. Thank you Fran for creating such an incredible place. ❤️❤️❤️Susan D.

55This was our first sniffspot experience and I’m pretty sure all others will pale in comparison. Amazing set up! The host is so thoughtful with all of the amenities for the dogs and the pawrents! There was shelter, drinks and snacks, toys for the puppies and the hand warmer was an amazing addition today since I am pretty sure it’s gonna snow soon. We will be back to play again soon! George and Ava wouldn’t even fetch the ball anymore at the end they were so tired. Perfect!! Jenell C.

55FRAN'S RANCH SETTING IS OUR FAVORITE. WE HAD A LOVELY MORNING TODAY - THE DOGS WERE PLAYING AND RUNNING IN THE SNOW WHILE I LISTENED TO THE VARIOUS BIRDS [RAVENS ARE MY FAVORITE!] CALLING IN THE DISTANCE. I CAUGHT SNOWFLAKES ON MY TONGUE WHILE ROO CHASED THE BALL I THREW AND DIEGO, WITH HER BALL EVERY PRESENT IN HER MOUTH, CHASED ROO. WHEN I GOT COLD OR TOO WET FOR COMFORT, I SIMPLY MOVED UNDER THE CANOPY AND STOOD NEXT TO THE HEATER - JUST ONE OF MANY CREATURE COMFORTS FRAN PROVIDES. WE CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK. aleida s.

55We love Fran's Ranch Setting for the space, the privacy. We have reactive dogs who don't do well in dog parks and this allows them the space and privacy to run and play to their hearts content. It is completely fenced in so there are no worries about escapes or not coming back. Fran has several fields, each one closed off and fenced. There are toys in each. One field is an little agility course! We haven't felt the need to go to any other Sniffspot!aleida s.

Both me and Cooper just love being here and each visit is totally stress free and super fun. Very secure, safe spot.Susan D.

FAQ about our Richland fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Richland?
There are 18 fully fenced dog parks in the Richland area. The most popular fully fenced park is . You can browse all of our fully fenced dog parks here.
How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
