55Anja's property is so neat! The dogs (and us hoomans) really loved exploring the trails and romping through the tall grass. If we're in the area again, we will definitely return! Anja is very sweet, and I highly recommend her tour of the property.Gwen W.

55It was really nice letting my furbabies running free without any worries. It is very peaceful and beautiful.
Make sure you have trail or hiking shoes and clothes that you dont mind getting dirty. Trails can get a little slippery, and steep. It is worth it!!Erica V.

55I am obsessed and will be back. This spot quenched my thirst for nature and so much more.
Anja was so kind, flexible and a pleasure to meet. The tour of the property was so much fun and we followed that up with a few hours of free roaming.
We spent the rest of our time on the water. When our time ended we hiked up to the fresh water stream for our pup to get a drink.
Our pup loved running through the trails, playing in the water at the inlet and frolicking though the streams.
There are multiple relaxation spots by the water with hammocks. There are Kayaks to rent to go explore the inlet. Some trails are defined other beckon you to explore a little deeper.
Plan at least a few hours for your visit here, plan to rest, recent and reconnect while your pups do the same. Marilyn F.

55I think as the weather gets going this spot will not be suitable for our off leash adventures. With that being said what a wonderful opportunity for peace of mind. My dogs had a blast, we were safe, unbothered, and free to roam! Wish there was more open field space, but perhaps a guided tour is necessary on the next visit. Will def go back soon before it gets too muddy Vanessa C.

55As expected, no dogs or other animals have been seen during my visits and my pup has a great time sniffing around. I recommend boots in addition to long pants, especially during the rainy seasons as there are spots with long grass and mud, but there are also plenty of trails you can stay on to avoid the majority of it.Stephanie H.

55My girls and I had a great time. One loves to run and jump and there was plenty of room for that. Being fall, there were a few muddy spots, to be expected, so wear boots. At first there is big hill to descend but once you get to the bottom it flattens out and isn't too difficult to walk.Craig/Diana B.

55A beautiful property! Remi smelled all the things and enjoyed the trails, rolling around near the water access, and walking through a creek. Ground is a lil soft in places (pacnw weather) and wished I had brought a walking stick. We will be back and hope to try the kayaks in warmer weather. Nicole B.

55This Sniffspot is so lovely. So much to explore, I’m sure we didn’t get to all of it. Will definitely be back and will take advantage of the guided tour next time. My little terrier loved “mousing” in the pasture. ☺️Michelle N.

55Today was our first time using sniff spot. It was easy to find, Apple Maps took us right there. We were greeted by Anja who spent an hour with us giving us a wonderful tour of the property. Thank you Anja!! Our pups loved roaming around checking out the beautiful creeks and trees. We will be coming back for sure! Hailey T.

55This spot was truly special. We were able to find this "hard to find" location thanks to the great instructions left by the host. They came outside to greet us and ensure we were comfortable and offered a tour. We will likely accept the tour next time because I'm sure there are some special stories to tell about this land. The trails, pasture, waterways, waterfall and small details, like little benches and hammocks and things were fun to discover. My 2 year old Rottweiler loved every moment, he was so happy and content the entire visit and a sleepy guy for the rest of the day.
We arrived at low tide, so it was a little muddy (as clearly stated in the spot description), but my pup likes to keep his paws clean, so he kept utilizing the fresh creek water to clean off. I would wear appropriate shoes, but I was definitely able to stay dry (I mean, I was having way too much fun to worry about not getting muddy, but I could have!)...
If you have a reactive dog, it's good to be aware of a couple of dogs barking behind a large fence as you are first entering the spot. They are way up on a hill and very secure... We didn't even see them on the way out. We also couldn't see or hear them for the entire two hours we were exploring the rest of the land.
We will definitely be back! I can't wait to see this magical spot in the spring and summer months! Rebekah J.

FAQ about our Elma dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends 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. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
