55This was the perfect place for our girls to play and learn some new skills! The directions were clear and easy to follow. I would definitely recommend this Sniffspot location! Our girls loved visiting Sammy's Safe Spot. Natalie C.

55What a great idea! My pup really enjoyed playing fetch on a cold, dark, and rainy night! We were able to stay dry and still see the chuck-it balls, which is hard normally this time of year. I will definitely be back!Khalsa J.

55Great idea to have an enclosed covered area! The ground is rocky/sandy. I went during a complete downpour and it’s was mostly dry, a few spots of puddles. Dogs loved it so much though (one sadly rolled in it but she had fun and big smile, so I can’t complain). There’s lights so it’s perfect if you need to let your dog roam and run after dark. There’s also toys for extra fun.Jessica W.

55Easy to find and directions were spot on. This was a perfect place to take my new dog out for the first time to get a feel for how she does off leash as the space is fully enclosed. Flower has a great time with lots of fetch and smells all over. We will be back! Amy P.

55Both boys seemed to have a great time. At first it was sniff heaven. Then we played ball. For my large dogs ( 80 lb) the area was reasonable to run in. I wasn’t looking for acreage. Of course my nosework dog got a whiff of something at the door and gave me a little trouble so I tied it with my leash. ( maybe a rope can be there to do that) After that no issues. Clean and easy to find. Thank you. Sheila A.

55What a special spot! Directions on parking and finding the spot once on the property were detailed and easy to follow. This was a great spot for a rainy day since it was fully covered. The size of the area was enough for both my dogs to get their zoomies out. It is directly next to the freeway, so there were plenty of noises. That worked out well for us because we were working on desensitization, but might be something to be mindful of if you have a dog that is noise sensitive. There were a few balls and toys as well as access to water and bowls too. Overall I’m so pleased that we found this and I certainly hope to be back!Caleb C.

55Wow! This is a great spot with plenty of open space to run and sniff. It’s next to a cemetery so super quiet. There is a big grassy hill that is great for fetch, really gave our pups a good workout. There were no dogs or people around. My pups had a wonderful time!Denise R.

55Really nice, big yard! We loved it and had lots of fun! Sarah has amazing communication...we messaged her prior to our visit a few of times and she always responded right away. We did not meet her but I did message her when we arrived and left and she responded quickly both of those times as well. We parked on the right side of the driveway by the basketball hoop which turned out to be pretty perfect...ended up being on the same side as the Sniffspot so Cooper was able to hop right out onto the grass. I always keep Cooper on his leash for awhile anytime we go somewhere new, especially unfenced areas. Even though he has pretty good recall, he needs to figure out his boundaries before he can freely explore. So, we did an on-leash walk for a bit, checked out the perimeter then I let him go. The property is sandwiched between a cemetery and a construction site. No idea what's going on with the construction...there was no activity during our visit and I got the feeling the project might be paused (maybe due to all the rain?)....not sure but basically just a bunch of dirt. It was divided by some temporary fencing and, in some spots, blackberries so, unless you have a very motivated escape artist & jumper, this should not be a problem. On the other side, the cemetery is separated by tall, secure fencing so this is also not an issue. However, there is obviously no fencing across the driveway and at the farthest end (opposite the driveway) there is a neighbor's house and next to the house there is a strip of grass that leads to a small road...there is no fencing here either. So, if your dog has decent recall, this is an excellent spot. Initially Cooper just sniffed around, munched on some grass and explored. A couple times he went up close to the house and, out of respect for the owners, I made him come back to the yard but otherwise he quickly figured out where he was allowed to go so we really enjoyed our time. The lawn was mowed and was soft without any sort of hazards whatsoever until at the very bottom where there is a large patch of un-mowed lawn with blackberry vines throughout. Cooper figured it out right away and just stayed off of this area so did not pose any sort of problem for us whatsoever. The neighbor's house (at the bottom of the hill) has a fenced yard. At some point during our visit their dog was outside and barked a couple of times but we never saw him and it was only 2 or 3 barks and never heard from him again. The fence appears completely secure, you can't see anything through it and I was not concerned about it at all. Also, even though the hosts says she has dogs, we never heard even one single bark from the house the entire time. This is an excellent place for training...after our initial exploring and a little Chuckit we spent a lot of time practicing recall, stay and various other little tricks. Cooper seemed happy, happy, happy the entire time and I could tell he really enjoyed being here. Thumbs up! Susan D.

FAQ about our Puyallup 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. 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 place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Puyallup area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 266 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 46 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
