55Great new spot! Room for running and lots of smells for my dogs, they were both tired by the end. It's a quiet area, only had one car go by in an hour. My dogs got to meet goats for the first time too! Maddie T.

55So glad to discover Thayer Ridge Acres Sniffspot! It's a quiet acre within a larger property and is just a mere mile from Albertson's, Dutch, and the college. I live near Willamette Falls Hospital and Thayer Ridge is just a seven minute drive from my house. It's very centrally located for most of OC..talk about Location, Location, Location!
Ranger and I had a great time and had everything we needed, like a doggie AirBNB :) No worries about escape for me being a puppy owner as the fencing was small mesh. There's a covered area for drizzly days and plenty of shade trees for warm days like today. We enjoyed our time very much and we will be back often! Shelly S.

55Our crew had a ton of fun romping around the big open field! The tall trees provided some nice shade from the hot sun. Big, clean spot with plenty of room for the pups!CLAIRE S.

55This place was very nice and kept my dogs busy the whole time. Plenty of nice big shady pines to sit under for me and lots of room for the dogs to run. Very clean and well-maintained. Lisa C.

55This is a wide open, flat, clean, large property. They have a water bowl and hose, toys and a structure for the humans to stay out of the sun/rain. It’s very quiet and serene here. Kristina H.

55We had sooooo much fun!! Our high energy blue heeler has had quite a rough transition from living in a house with a large yard to moving into an apartment this summer, so we’ve been trying out different sniffspots to help him have a break from urban life. This was by far the nicest one we’ve been to! It was beautiful and the cows were sooo cute and patient. Our boy had a blast and we will be back. :)Dana W.

55My doggos loved their time at the farm and we can’t wait to visit again! We favored the F2 field as it is more spacious, however, the F1 field is very lovely, clean, and has lots of character. Thank you for hosting us! Sophia C.

55Always fun, even in the pouring rain. Next time I'll remember to wear better shoes. We don't tend to hang out in the trailer but it sure was nice to duck in there. My dogs even went in without me! Diane B.

55Great everything! Size, fencing, cleanliness, and so many options - toys, shade/sun, seating, water. No distractions at all while we were here, which made for the most relaxing fun we've ever had with our pups outside our own yard. Thanks so much for sharing your lovely place with us!Karen G.

FAQ about our Scio small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Scio?
There are 51 small dog parks in the Scio area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
