55Lorraine and her husband are super kind people. We've enjoyed their wonderful SniffSpot three times now. The fully fenced area offers lots of interesting sniff spaces for dogs. Running through the longer grass (around which there is a mowed path to make for easy walking for the humans) is a favorite of our dogs. There's a nice mix of sun and shade, and several chairs just inside the entrance gate (also presumably for the human guests.) One of our dogs loves the wading pool using it both as a cooling off spot as well as a giant water dish - although there's always a full bowl of clean drinking water available too. This SniffSpot is a really great addition in terms of dog amenities in Bellingham. Highly recommended!Lucy M.

55Oh my goodness! So much room for activities! I have an 8 month old puppy that still needs work with following commands and recalls and is extremely distracted at a public dog park. This place was perfect for her. She loved the tall grass and the kiddie pool. The family that runs this sniff spot were so wonderful throughout our entire visit and even brought their dogs out to play. I will definitely be bringing my dog here again. It was absolutely a great experience. Sara S.

55My dog had a lovely time frolicking in the grass and running around. Very clean and peaceful! I think my dog is a bit out of shape because he has been sleeping ever since, will definitely be returning. Thank you for expelling the zoomies!!Andrea N.

55A perfect spot for our 3 dogs who range in age from 2 to 13. It felt safe and secure and was clean. Paths mowed into taller grasses for running laps, sunny and shady spots. Everyone had a great time, including the humans. We will return soon.
Water bowls with fresh clean water, and gates latches sanitized prior to our visit. Thanks Lorraine, for sharing your beautiful space. Erin T.

55This is a great SniffSpot! Very easy to find with clear directions from the host, Lorraine (who is also a fantastic communicator about all of the necessary info).
The gates and fencing are super sturdy so no worries about dogs escaping here, there are little paths mowed throughout the yard, and hose water access with a dog bowl. We walked in loops almost the whole time we were there so the humans could get some exercise too, while my pup enjoyed running around, chasing bugs/birds, and playing with her ball.
This is definitely a convenient location for anyone in town, and would be excellent for some safe off leash training and dog to dog play!Sarah S.

FAQ about our Nanaimo dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs 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. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
How much do Sniffspot agility parks cost?
Dog agility parks in the Nanaimo area range from $10.0 and $10.0. The least expensive dog agility park is CZ Ranch. The most expensive dog agility park is CZ Ranch. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
