55The spot was super spacious, with a bench and a trash receptacle for poop bags. There was a great mix of short grass, longer grass, bramble, and trees. I would recommend wearing long pants if you want to walk through the longer grass areas. Our dog LOVED sniffing for bunnies in the bushes and bramble and prancing through the fields. Fence was very secure. We didn't see any other dogs or people, just birds, bunnies, and squirrels. Kathy was super accommodating and welcoming. Highly recommend! Michelle J.

55I cannot express how awesome this place is and how wonderful it is to have a place to let my dog off leash without worrying about other dogs or distractions. Plenty of room to run, play, and train with your dog/dogs. There are poop bags and a waste can in case you need them. Host was very accommodating and made sure we found the spot and even gave Dexter some treats which he LOVED. We will DEFINITELY be back!!!Michelle S.

55An absolutely lovely spot! Completely fenced in with lots of space to run and a ton of interesting scents for my dog, Nina, to follow. Kathy even so kindly ran the lure course for her, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen her have that much fun! Terry Y.

55If there were 10 stars this property would get them!!!
I drove over an hour to get there, and it was totally worth it. My dog and I had the best time walking the fenced area. It was the first time my dog really got to run off lead in a big area without me constantly nagging to come back to me.
The yard is kept up well, the perimeter is mowed so allows easy walking, and the field area provides lovely views, plenty of birds, and pretty local fauna.Liz M.

55This place is fantastic. Kathy was friendly and helpful. My family spent the full hour walking around and through this secure, beautiful and tranquil space. Our dog had a great time sniffing and zooming and practicing her recalls. We will be back again! We drove 1hr 15min (worth it) so unfortunately can’t go every weekend - although we’d love to.Christine C.

FAQ about our Aberdeen dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash 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 city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How can I find dog agility parks in Aberdeen?
There are 12 dog agility parks in the Aberdeen area. The most popular dog agility park is Ft Smallwood Dog Adventure Park. You can browse all of our dog agility parks here.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs 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. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility 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.
