55Rick & Lynn were so incredibly kind and welcoming to me and my doggo. I would definitely recommend this spot to any and all types of pups. There is SO much room to run, play, lounge, plus they provided poop bags & water!
My dog had a rough start in her early years, and is highly dog reactive because of that. Finding space to let her run has become incredibly difficult, so for Lynn & Rick to open their space to us is incredibly appreciated. Thanks again Lynn & Rick!Sarah T.

55This was FABULOUS! We couldn't ask for nicer hosts or a better place for our dog to run. My dog even got to meet a horse (with a fence between them). Some suggestions for users. First, we came late and we brought a flashlight. I would bring a bigger flashlight next time. Second, I wore tennis shoes. During the "wet" season, I would suggest rubber boots or hiking shoes. (There is an upper part that is dry enough, but we walked in the bottom area and it was wet.) Third, if we came earlier I might have been able to find a place to stash my leash, but I didn't see a space by the time I realized I had carried it around for half an hour (and it was totally dark). We will be back!!!Karen O.

55We live in a small apartment, and this place is a dream for my puppy! It's safe, big, and it offers different textures for my puppy to explore. And the host is so friendly; he greeted us right as we pulled in the driveway, and showed us everything we might need. My puppy had a great time here, we would definitely go back again.Chloe T.

55I could not have been happier with our visit to Run Sniff Run!
The property is expansive and securely enclosed, so the sky is the limit with regards to the kinds of activities you can engage with your dogs in. We brought two heelers, and they were able to really open up the throttle and run, playing and chasing each other. They both looked so happy!
For us humans, Rick and Lynn have set things up so that you can really enjoy yourselves while visiting. There is a dog waste station, a tub for hosing off muddy pups, chairs for sitting, and water bowls. It was really great to not have to sweat all the small details and to be able to focus on the dogs and their enjoyment.
Highly recommended, will absolutely be going back!Michael R.

55Shredder had a wonderful time running free, splashing in a puddle, and sniffing around. The location is beautiful and the hosts couldn’t have been kinder or more hospitable. There were chairs for us to rest on and a convenient cleaning station to get our pup scrubbed up for the drive home. Katarina J.

55Well-secured area. Its a bit muddy, they warned me before going in but also, its Oregon! There's going to be mud. My dogs had a fabulous time running all over the field. I walked around the entire time, but they have a good covered area if you want to sit. Not everyone cleans up after their dog, so keep an eye out when walking, but it was relatively clean overall. Having a place to wash paws was appreciated. We will be back!Kaylen M.

55This place was exactly what our English Shepherd needed. Thank you so much for sharing your space! We have a reactive dog and I was worried about the horses nearby, but didn’t need to be. Fence was secure and he tired of barking when he had so much space to play and his ball. We will be visiting on the regular! Shannon M.

55There’s a reason this place is so popular! The hosts are extremely nice and genuinely care about people’s experiences and their beloved dogs. It’s so easy to drive to, see where it is, and park. The SniffSpot itself is amaaaazing with varied and uneven ground (a plus for me for better exercise and fun walking/running around), big trees, a big fun puddle during the wet seasons, lots to smell and look at, places to sit and other nice amenities. This place is top tier!Melisa P.

If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines.
