55This is a truly wonderful sniffspot if your dogs have a solid recall. It is bordered by roads on two sides, so not recommended if your dog might bolt after a rabbit, etc., but it was perfect for my dogs' needs. This may not be a good spot for dogs who are particularly sensitive to noises like gunshots, because it it a rural area with people shooting and "poppers" to scare away birds going iff in the distance. Not a problem for my crew, though! This was a perfect alternative to the overcrowded trails we would otherwise have to brave to get some exercise on a warm Sunday.Monica G.

55My dogs love Dragon Pepper Farm! They're rough and tumble farm dogs themselves, so they live to run in the tall pasture grass and chase the occasional rabbit. They also have excellent recalls so the wide open space is no problem for us. We love this spot because we can choose to stick to the mowed trails or wander where we will in the grass. I do recommend avoiding the brome (cheat grass) in the western portion of the pasture--which isn't a problem October-May anyway. Bring plenty of water and be ready to go home with happy, dusty, tired dogs!Monica G.

55Great visit as always. This property is fantastic, my dogs love it here. I love that there are no prairie dogs, just mostly smaller critter holes. This is a farm pasture with good grass, dirt and weeds. Trucks drive fast on the two paved roads bordering the property, making it a great space for socializing puppies to traffic noise. Leashes are a must for untrained dogs here. If you're expecting a manicured space, this is not the spot for you. My dogs are going home happy after an hour of running, sniffing, and recall practice!Monica G.

55My dogs and I had a great time exploring Dragon Pepper Farm! This area is huge and it took us the whole hour to walk all the way through it. There is a lot of natural vegetation and I was glad I brought a lot of gear in preparation. I appreciated my leather boots, jeans, water bottle, and the dogs' Rex Specs. My dogs are reliable off leash when no dogs are present, and this worked very well for us. Lea P.

55The dogs had fun! It's just a field, but they ran around and played frisbee and now they are all napping. There are roads on 2 sides that pretty consistently had cars driving by, so keep that in mindAmber N.

55Nice big open space. My dog really enjoyed the sights and smells. The horses were a good distance away across the street and didn't pose any distractions lol. I recommend wearing close-toed shoes because of the sharp grasses. Cole M.

55Very happy to have stumbled upon someone else mentioning this app and that I took the time to check it out. It was just what we needed to be able to walk my mom’s dog off leash for a bit to get some exercise for her! It’s so hard that counties and cities are anti e-collars. I see dogs behave better with e-collar all the time. And I’m not anti leashes either. I have a little dog and can’t stand it when someone in the park has there’s off leash insisting they are perfect as they charge up to me and my dog. But I do believe e e-collars offer the same restraint if not more of one and do think they should be considered as a means of restraining and controlling their dog! Need to spread the word on the app more! But I am very pleased to have found it and the site we choose was perfect for some free time! Brooke H.

FAQ about our Pierce 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.
