55Our new favorite sniff spot!! Easy to find, plenty of parking, trails clearly marked, tons of room to roam, sniff, swim and run. Towels were helpful for preliminary wipe down but definitely a bath at home required. Bringing friends and going again in a few days. Outstanding place. Layle W.

55I loved all the shade! My dogs saw the horses. I think it was my puppies first time seeing them. They both didn't bark and listened to me when I said come. It was a fun place and will for sure come back even though it's forty minutes away from my house.Jessica H.

55It was a great size for my dogs to roam but still stay close. The grassy area was great for using the chuck-it and chasing tennis balls! Bonus, easy to find exactly where to park and great directive signs.Lindsey W.

55This was my first time at this Sniffspot and I will definitely be back. Incredible place. Great signage throughout and so much to explore. My only wish is that it was closer to home, but worth the road-trip!!Tami T.

55We really enjoyed this spot! Especially thankful for all the bug spray placed around the trail because, of course, we forgot ours. Very well maintained trails and plenty of places to sit. We only planned a short visit, but I’d love to come back for a longer visit and have a little picnic out here. We didn’t see any horses while we were here, but our dog appreciated the novel sniffs with the pasture nearby. Michelle N.

55This spot is beyond a 5 star! Amazing piece of property. So many details around the pond and throughout trails- so stinkin beautiful!! We have reactive pups. We were greeted upon arrival by a herd of bunnies! Definitely need to be on long leash if your pup has poor recall. Later down the trail is a safety off leash area. When we reached the ending area we did off leash completely. Drinking water at trail end also.Our pups haven’t met a horse before so they rushed to the fence barking immediately.So we long leashed until he walked away. Appreciated all the bug spray along the trails. There are multiple areas unfenced but the woods are open & public. For reactives theres always a risk of meeting strangers but I felt it was unlikely . Wish we could have peeked at the farm bcz there was a huge goose patrol! This host is amazing!Shelly G.

55This was our first Sniffspot and we had a great experience! Our dog loved having a new place to explore off leash. You can tell the host really thought about what dogs and their humans might need while exploring their property.
We made a mistake when booking and ended up arriving and departing a half hour late. The host caught up with us when he recognized we were a half hour over our time and helped us realize the mistake. He was very kind and gracious about it, which we appreciated! Luckily, there was no one booked after us so our mistake didn’t affect another Sniffspot client. Catie W.

55Well kept fairly flat trails lead to a clearing to play or relax “club zoomies”. Probably not a great spot for anyone with no verbal control over their dog, but the boundaries are clear and easy to follow. We loved it. Spot is well equipped with water, poo bags, and seating.Lindsay B.

55My friend and I took 3 Std. Schnauzers to this site on 5/31. What a wonderful treat! Beautiful entry into a park like setting and a Doggie Disneyland! Plenty of well kept trails leading to a large off leash area. Bonus was meeting the neighbor's horse! We will put Black Pond on our list of places to visit this summer. Delightful!Jayne W.

55The location was stunning with tons of different types of landscape for my dog to explore. We've been to a few different spots and this was definitely her favorite. There were lots of toys, a trash can, poop bags, pretty much everything a pet parent could want. The trails were well marked, and the instructions were clear, which is always helpful. Ashley S.

FAQ about our Bonners Ferry 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.
