55My pups had an amazing time in this safe and secure yard. Lots of new smells and places to explore with amenities for pups and their people. My pups especially enjoyed the kiddie pool! We will definitively be back. Next time we may use the BBQ and plan a picnic!Claire E.

55My friend Cindy and our dogs Bertie and Blue visited Doggy Domain yesterday afternoon. We LOVED it! What a wonderful, safe spot for them. Plenty of room on a beautiful hillside with a great view. We added the wading pool and it was an added bonus! Also loved the benches full of dog toys and treat. We can’t wait to come back! Carol and her husband were very nice as well. Thanks for offering us this wonderful option for our dogs to run and play!Shannon M.

55This was our first time here. Our Daisy loved it as it was her first time to free-run other than at home. She was worn out within 30 minutes. The area is clean, several places for did parents to sit down, beautiful area to admire, fence height was perfect, water for kiddo to drink etc. We def recommend!Pattie A.

55This was our first time using Sniffspot. After nearly 2 hours here, I have one super happy, exhausted pup! Great setup - water, toys, tunnel, etc. and several nice spots for humans to relax too. Carol was very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely go back!Susan H.

55This is a really fantastic secure place for dogs that have dog aggression and socialization skills. It is almost impossible to find a place to hike or get out anymore where my dog won't encounter unleashed dogs and a potential fight. It was so relaxing to not worry about other dogs and the added bonus of unleashing my dog to sniff and roam was really such a treat. Its a beautiful little spot as well. Thank you!Melaine Z.

55Very well maintained Sniffspot! We were quite pleased with the overall cleanliness and the extra touches the hosts put in like towels and bug spray were so considerate! Everything was also very nicely labeled and instructions getting there were clear. We had no trouble at all figuring out where to go. Remy had a blast running and swimming and digging! Can’t wait to come back!Ashley V.

55Had a great time and appreciated the tent to shelter us from the rain for a bit while our pup ran around! The towel was much appreciated because of the rain and the water romps :). Hannah F.

55We always love our time at Black Pond Farm! The setting is lush and serene, with so much room for the pups to romp, splash, climb and sniff. We usually head out to the adjacent DNR land too for even more woods to explore. Love it here so much!Aubbie B.

55Black Pond Farm is gorgeous. It's always at the top of the list of favorites. I am always grateful to the owners for making it available. It has trails for walking, more than one spot to swim, and a big open area for fetch. The owners have done a wonderful job of trying to provide everything you might need, even bug spray.
Photographers will love the many options for stunning photos, including the beautiful stonework wall and castle.
This last visit was the first time we ran into a horse on the trail, which we weren't ready for. Folks with dogs who need to avoid people or might not react well to horses should be on the lookout or message the owner in advance. Lisa M.

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.
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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Bonners Ferry 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 3 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.
