55One puppy can fetch freely without worry of car chase danger and the other can sniff to her heart’s content without wondering off. Hearing the neighbor’s peacock is a fun bonus. Clean, secure and fun.

55Skye has a great time playing today. He found his favorite stick and ran around with it until he was tired. I like how much room there is at Ever Noble Farm for him to run around and it’s FENCED!! The only thing you have to watch out for are large holes that could hurt some paws. Tamra M.

55Wonderful location to practice off leash training in a stress free environment. Lots of space to run and play. Lots of great places for your pup to sniff and explore!Shannon S.

55Lovely spot close enough to Portland and big enough to really let my dog run. My pooch, being a little scared of other dogs, needs the space to run, and I'm happy we found this spot :)Anthony E.

55This is our first time using sniff spot and we will definitely be using it again. The area was big enough that the dogs had a great time roaming, but not so big that we lost sight of them. The area was well fenced so that I felt comfortable letting them off leash. One of our dogs is reactive and although there were some neighbor dogs barking at us, they were far enough away that it didn't cause us any problems. Both dogs had a lot of fun!Bonnie R.

55Great open space! Really loved the available water and hose to refill when my husky dumped it all out ;) the highland cows are so adorable! One of my huskies was a little TOO interested when they moved closer to the fence and that would be the only reason for us to not return. But I’ve been to both fields now and they are so great! Highly recommend - we just may have to stick to the smaller field with no cows sadly lolBrianna S.

55I really enjoyed this Sniffspot. The field is long so it's perfect for throwing balls for dogs. The property has a lot of dog toys, places to sit, and even shelter if you need to escape the elements. Christina H.

55This place is AMAZING! Great place to work on distractions during recall training with the cows!! They are separated from the field and a gate and there is zero access for dogs to contact the cows, but in eye sight for dogs so if you want to work on some recall training with a new distraction this is so great! My pups struggled at first but once they learned that they were safe and couldn’t get hurt they ignored them and their recall improved because of it! Beautiful field so much privacy!! I will Definitely be back to work on recall and let my pups run their little hearts out!! If you have dog reactive dogs you will be so fine there is zero access to any other dogs!! My dogs are very fearful of other dogs from previous attacks on walks, and the sight of other dogs will cause them to bark (we are working on this daily) so this place was perfect for them!! Highly reccomend!!!Charles M.

55This is the perfect field for the Chuck-It. There's both sun and shade, it's neat and tidy, and has plenty of seating options while your dog catches their breath.Carrie E.

55This is our favorite sniffspot! They paved the parking section, now you can pull your car within the gate and park on the pavement! Nice touch. I love how thoughtful this sniffspot is. They provide lots of toys, water, lots of seating options and poop bags everywhere. Today we got to see the cows! My dog barked at them at first (she has never seen a cow before) and the cows didn’t mind. We will be back! Taylor F.

55This SniffSpot was so great! The ponies were so cute, and so was the donkey. 😊 Their yard is so pretty! My dogs had a little too much fun, because my Loki couldn't handle himself around the new animals. This is definitely a fantastic SniffSpot, though.Corrine S.

FAQ about our Smith River dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. 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. 0% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Smith River area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog parks in the area. 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 nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
