55We love this spot! It's so well cared for, we had a blast even if the weather was a little breezy and wet. The trails are still very walkable thanks to bridges, sand, straw, etc that are consistently put out in wet spots. vanessa g.

55Barb is the most amazing ever! She takes such pride in her spot and sharing it with dog owners, and it shows! This SniffSpot is the best of the best. Well-maintained. Massive! Beautiful. Thoughtful. We cannot wait to come again! After 90 minutes, we had two unmovable puppies for the rest of the day. The humans and dogs had a blast here! Jillian M.

55We have a 4-month-old puppy who has not been off leash until yesterday. We had such a positive and enjoyable experience with Barb and her property. Despite being a little muddy (which is certainly expected this time of year), it was a wonderful walk for both puppy and us! The property shows continued hard work and upkeep. Everything you need is provided from toys to fresh water, places to sit and even a hose to rinse off. A large open field leads to a network of trails through the woods that are clearly marked. Having the reassurance of knowing your pet is safe is true peace of mind. It's a playground for both dogs and humans alike! We will be back! Annie P.

55Wonderful! Our favorite spot. A little muddy this time of year, but that's the Pacific northwest. There is a huge field, like a pasture, where my dog runs in circles at first -- so happy to be there. But our favorite is the forest area, which feels like a state park.Tani B.

55I would rate a 500 if allowed. Actually lost dog for about 15 min, I'm not as fast as he but they cannot get out. I have a very dirty and very tired Border Collie. This place is awesome...James B.

55Awesome huge space that is fully fenced in. There are maybe a few spots that a motivated dog could escape through, but considering how much fence line there is they’re very minimal / small! It’s almost like 2 separate properties having the huge field and then the trail system she maintains in the woods. Eric P.

55Easily the best sniff spot we have been to. Our dog Hank LOVED zooming around the trails and having plenty of space to play fetch. Barb has really taken time and effort to make this place great and it shows. 10/10 would recommend and we will be back!Jake R.

55Incredible Sniffspot location. As this was our first visit and our dog is not 100% on his recall when excitement is high, we were a little nervous when he disappeared in the woods and didn’t come back for 10 minutes. As it was, he seemed much more interested generally in running in the fields, flushing out birds and ‘checking the perimeter fence’. He ran at top speed the whole time and an hour went by very quickly.
I’d recommend wearing knee high wellies/rain boots, as it was quite muddy in places and I came away with mud splashed all the way to the top of my wellies.
We had such a great time, our dog was very happy (and tired) and Barb was a gracious and very kind host. We will definitely be back!! Alison T.

55Very nice property! My dog loved the open field to play catch with the launcher. I liked the mini hiking trail in the woodsy area. Make sure to bring rain/mud boots if it's raining. My dog got throughly muddy and she had an absolute blast doing it. I purposely put off her bath until after the visit and I'm so glad I did! Thank you and we'll come again. Liz L.

55Host came out to meet us and gave some instructions about the field and trails. She was super nice! We had the best time ever! It was nice enough just hanging out in the field, but was so much fun meandering through the trails in the woods. 3 very tired dogs on the way home. Can’t wait to come back soon!Ashley J.

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.
