55A perfect spot for me and my advanced packs! Beginners to off-leash adventures might want to practice elsewhere or use a long lead first, as there is open access to a somewhat busy road from the SniffSpot. There are enough barriers and space to keep obedient dogs away from that access, but err on the side of caution with newbies.
Plenty of open space to run. Little to no mud with the dry-ish weather. Doesn’t appear that it would be muddy during wet days. Little trails dividing tall grass from short grass patches allowed for plenty of entertaining runs and sniffs for the dogs. A couple different areas to sit and rest if desired. We brought our own, but toys and poop bags were provided. LOVED that a trash can was provided.
We plan to return regularly!Ashtyn B.

55We love having a safe and open space for Larry to run around and just be a dog. Note; if it's been raining at all, wear waterproof shoes and make sure you have a towel for your pup(s). Really great setup. We will be back. 👍Rebecca W.

55We kept our pups on long lines and they had a great time exploring! There was a neighboring dog that barked at us but they were pretty far away and not visible. Thanks for the great experience!Mel S.

55Nice place to practice recall with you dog or stimulate them with the tall grass by throwing a ball in there and letting them sniff find it. Aldair M.

55We have been here a few times. It is a great space and close to our house. We are able to get in a leash walk and/or practice off leash skills. It is exactly as advertised and easy to get to.Courtney E.

55Very pretty location and super clean. The road near by was fairly busy but wasn't a bother to me or my dogs. A dog could be heard barking but couldn't be seen. Overall a nice field for your dogs to run around in.Kindred R.

55We will be back! Had so much fun at this property. Love that there are large areas that are mowed short, then tall grass areas to explore too. No mud at all, which is a plus for wintertime in the PNW. Very well kept and perfect for my dog and I to spend some time training and playing. Taylor S.

55Our group of 6 dogs had a great time at this amazing field! Great parking for a group and even when wet out, the field drains nicely out to the sides! Will be visiting again! Zach M.

55The meadow looks like a large event area, and has a small man-made creek running through it. There is no fence to the street. When I went, there was a thick layer of hardened snow on the field. Host asked me to leave the dog poop by the table. She provided toys, doggie bags, water, and a bowl. She was fast at responding to my questions. I would come again especially in the spring when there are more flowers and grass.Angela O.

55Awesome spot! Our pup's recall is not solid at all, so we kept him on a 50' line, as the fencing isn't super secure and there is a very busy road next to the fence on one side. Otherwise, this is a great spot for pups to romp and play. Parking is super easy, too! We'll be back for sure. Thanks! Kimberly P.

55What a fun spot! So much space to explore… I loved the mowed paths and my dog loved chasing his ball into the tall grasses- he and his nose got a good work out! There is a big ‘park here’ sign which I’ve really come to appreciate. We had a blast and will definitely be back!Allison S.

FAQ about our Silver Lake dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Silver Lake area range from $9.0 and $9.0. The least expensive dog field is West Seattle Wonderland!. The most expensive dog field is West Seattle Wonderland!. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
