55This was amazing! Barb has gone above and beyond for this fantastic spot. She provides toys, water, poop bags and trash cans throughout the property. There are maps for the forest trails, a hose to wash your dogs off at the end and plenty of seating throughout the area if you need it.
Keep in mind, this is the pacific northwest, so be prepared for some mud! We wore hiking boots and had no problems, but don't wear your white sneakers!Tessa W.

55I can’t even begin to explain just how wonderful this spot is! Not only is Barb incredibly friendly and thoughtful, but she maintains her space so well! The dogs had so much fun and we all left very dirty and happy. We will definitely be back! Alyssa A.

55This was our first ever sniffspot experience and the bar has now been set very high! Barb was incredibly kind and welcoming and we cannot imagine a more perfect place to explore and play. A big open field for zoomies, well maintained trails through the woods with markers to keep oriented by, and thoughtful spots to let your dog get a drink and to let you drop off your poop bags. There are lots of good spots for your pup to give itself a nice spa like mud treatment, but also a hose on the way out for a good rinse. This was a treasure of a find and we're very grateful to have had the opportunity to visit. We will definitely be back! Laura T.

55Barb was wonderful! She met us at our car and was super friendly and welcoming :) The space itself was awesome and such a godsend for our dog, who got to run around free for the first time ever (he's reactive around other dogs, so this was perfect for him). There were toys to play with and water/resting stations. The wooded trail area was beautiful and had trail markers to follow, and there were lots of different pathways to explore. It was clean, quiet, and peaceful, totally fenced, and about as stress-free as you could get. Both we and our dog loved it and had a great time - we're from Canada but will definitely be back as much as possible, as it's a super reasonable price and really close to the border. Thank you so much for hosting us and the great experience Barb! Victoria D.

55This is a lovely dog park. Easy to find. Parking spot handy to gate. A short walk across a hay field to the woods. Lots of paths in the beautiful woods. Usefully placed stations with dog toys and bags. And a hose back at the exit to wash the mud off! Jane C.

55Truly the best sniffspot in Whatcom county! Even if it’s raining, the tree cover along the trails will keep you relatively dry. There certainly are some muddy spots, I would recommend boots during the wet season.
My dog absolutely loves to run all through the trails, sniff all the smells and splash in all the puddles! We usually don’t utilize a whole hr at other spots, but all the trails keep me and my pup entertained for the whole hour :)
Thank you so much for creating such a lovely oasis and for sharing it with us! Alison E.

55An incredibly beautiful piece of land that was even better than we had hoped. The host, who has thought of everything, meets you one your first visit to give you a quick lay of the land which is helpful in such a big space. Other than some dogs barking in the distance we felt like we were in our own world. Graham C.

55This spot is so wonderful! It’s hard to find parks where my Daniff can flail around freely and be his goofy self and Barb’s property is ideal for him! We loved the lush forest (brought rainboots after reading other reviews) and we had fun playing with the toys in the field. Barb and her husband are very welcoming and maintain the property beautifully. We will definitely be back!

FAQ about our Richmond fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public 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 public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Richmond?
There are 71 fully fenced dog parks in the Richmond area. The most popular fully fenced park is . You can browse all of our fully fenced dog parks here.
How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog 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.
