55We had a fabulous time at Barb's sniffspot! What a perfect place for our Dodger to roam and explore with the field, the woods, the trails, etc. Barb has done such a wonderful job of creating a really special space for dogs and their humans to explore. Given that it was fully fenced, we were able to practice safe recalls with our 6-month-old puppy. We will definitely become regulars at this wonderful sniffspot! Tina P.

55Wonderful host - water, toys, garbage bins, are all there if you need them. A great experience for a dog that likes to run free. A beautiful spot with a huge grassy field, trails through the woods, etc. a great spot to practice off leash training and recall or just play. We had a blast. Anthony W.

55Mud boots, a good jacket and towels for the dogs made for another excellent visit. Especially considering the local flooding, this was simply normal PNW squishy ground and big puddles. The dogs love it and that's really the whole point.
I'm so grateful for a safe place to bring my dogs for an off leash sniffari and this is my favorite.MARY A.

55Dog heaven! Our dogs loved bounding through the woods. We got our exercise too on the many trails. Well equipped with tents and benches and extra waste bags and toys.
Wear your boots in the winter and bring towels as it's muddy when it's been raining. But so worth it. We'll be back again. Perhaps the best Sniffspot in the county. Thank you for having us. Lorraine W.

55Great place to practice recall. The fencing was in good shape -- big open field and woods with a well maintained trail, fresh water for the pup and many puddles to romp in. It was quiet for our visit, with the only distraction being a few passing cars at one end of the field (the fence on this side is a mix of wire and net). We'll be back!Caitlyn S.

55We had the absolute best time here! The forest area is beautiful to stroll through and my dogs had a blast sprinting along the trails and sniffing everything in sight. Thoughtfully placed water stations and the trails are well maintained. You're going to get muddy, but that's part of the fun!

55Beautiful property on a quiet road, my dog loves running the entire fence line and jumping in the mud puddles. My wife and I had a great time walking around the field and and even got to see a hawk do some hunting, if you have a dog that loves to just run full speed this is the place.Travis D.

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?

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.
