55So far it’s my favorite, it’s pretty spacious and flat. Easy tu run around with your pups and play ball. Fully fence, the gate has a small weak spot that kept me in edge because my big dog is nervous/reactive with other dogs and I was afraid that my dog would get triggered by the dog across the street. Never the less, this is my favorite place so far and help me develop trust in my dog since he didn’t mind any noises. Enrique S.

55Alex’s space was great. Our pup had a ton of fun with plenty of room to run around and chase his toys. He loved the various larger balls that were available in the yard too. We really appreciated the water bowl that was on hand. Thanks Alex! We’ll def be back. Shawna K.

55What I love about this SniffSpot is there are lots of little things to sniff and explore (my pup loves a good scavenger hunt), AND there's room to run around. The soccer balls were perfect - soccer is his favorite game! Having a spot like this is so good for my pup's confidence building - he's learning that exploring new spaces can be fun and safe. Thank you!linnea i.

55Great stop in Seattle if you don’t live in West Seattle or closer to the edges. We’ve been looking for a place way closer to us that we can go to more frequently for a quick ball run a few days a weeks and this is perfect. It Has grass, some space to throw the ball, water/bowl, and chairs. Definitely someone’s backyard space so they have their own things out back so be mindful. Also, two words of caution 1. the gate is tricky to close on your way out and 2. There a very sweet cat who popped into the downstairs sliding door and watched us. Luckily my dog didn’t see the cat otherwise he probably would have barked quite a bit and we try to be mindful of our noise. Marina T.

55Yard was spacious to throw the ball for our 1 yr old Sheltie. There was a little bit of a gap in the fence when you close it behind you but we stayed in the main area away from the entrance so it wasn’t a problem. Lots of balls of different sizes for the pups were a nice touch. Alyssa S.

55I took my foster dog to Alex's place, and I'm sure it was the best 45 minutes of his life so far. I've never seen him so relaxed and happy. There were lots of balls to play with, nice grass to lie on, shade, and water. He is very dog-reactive but did not get tense or react to dogs barking nearby. The only concern I had was there was a gap at the bottom of the gait, that he could have easily pushed through if a rabbit caught his attention outside. If there could be a 2nd latch at the bottom, it would be ideal. We will return. Carol K.

55The fence repair has officially taken this to a 5 star spot! We’ve been a couple times before but were a little nervous about the fence gaps. It is now totally secure and a perfect space for any size dog to get some playtime. Appreciate the bags, water bowl, and toys that are provided, as well as the easy parking and entrance. There’s shade and seating for the humans. Great spot and so glad to have one so close to home!Jenny L.
