55Lots of playing done today in our hour here. Riggs loved the toys. The balls are his favorite. He likes the frisbees sometimes. He’s still not too sure about the sticks from the stick library. The fencing was secure as always. I appreciate the big bowl of water ready when he need a drink after all his running around. We will be back soon. Amy W.

55Super fun today! Bayley enjoyed the seasonal "water feature" which made me happy as she often balks at getting wet. The sniffspot was, as always, clean and nicely mowed. MARILYN C.

55We had the best time at Rebecca’s SniffSpot. Our doggo loved the space (especially the little waterway). The space felt very secure & was well equipped with toys, chairs for the humans, & some fun agility equipment. Absolutely plan to return regularly. Thank you Rebecca!Lauren P.

55My lab loved this Sniffspot. It’s very spacious and securely fenced. He loved using the frisbee toys because we don’t have them at home. We will definitely be back to enjoy this wonderful spot!Amy W.

55Had a great time! Sniffspot was super clean, organized and well mowed. New trees I believe fruit trees had been planted along a fence line. My dog enjoyed running and sniffing before the rains start in.MARILYN C.

55Always a pleasure. My dogs love running through the lil stream most of all. There's new taller fencing on the back half of the property closest to the field. Probably about 5 ft tall ish? I'm sure pet guardians with more frisky pups will appreciate that! Melissa And Alan G.

55Our first time using snifspot and this spot is great. It was very nice for us to be able to just relax outside. I think it'll be good for our reactive dog to have more relaxing outings.Doranna B.

55We love this Sniff Spot so much! I have two dogs who love to run free together. I am not able to take them to the beach or other areas out of concern for off leash dogs running up to them. This allows all of us to have a great time together!! Thank you, as always for sharing your place with us.Darcy O.

FAQ about our Arcata 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?
