55Big space to zoom around. My dog had good fun running and sniffing. Had a neighbor and their dog come to the fence, and my dog and their dog exchanged hellos across the fence. It was probably just their morning walk. Entrance was easily spottable. Will return again. Thank you for having us!Ayla X.

55Gate has Sniffspot sign on it and was easy to find for parking. Yard is fully fenced, my dog is about 45lbs and I didn’t see any gaps she could get through. The goat came out for a minute and was quiet, that was the only animal I saw while we were there. Extra poop bags, a water bowl, and a trash bucket were available. My dog had a blast!Chelsea B.

55Great spot! Easy access from Lakewood, Steilacoom, Tacoma. There was plenty of room for our girls to zoom around. We have a big Cane Corso and a Corgi, it's a treat to see the big girl really get her run on. Be aware if you have smaller dogs, our 18-pound, low-riding Corgi was able to get through a gap by the far gate, so stay alert!
We'll definitely be back!Jason, Cate & Beth R.

55We had a great time here! Good sized meadow for our pups to play. There was some deer poo, but that’s not the hosts fault. Lots of good sniffs! Julia F.

55Brought my 2 dogs, within 30min of our 1hr visit they were worn out. The space is incredible. There were zero disturbances. Will be returning, I do recommend for anyone with an energetic pup that just wants to let their zoomies out!Catherine L.

55Great place to let the dogs run! If it’s been raining during winter (always!) there is a small wetland that will draw water loving dogs. Bring towels… but totally worth it for doggy fun. Sue M.

55Our dogs had a blast at this sniffspot! I liked how everything was labeled. We had a hard time keeping our senior dog with “selective hearing” out of the roped off areas but they quickly tired themselves out sniffing and running! Most hazards were marked and visible Alyssa P.

55My dogs had a great time here. I scouted it out for hazards like mushrooms before letting the dogs in, and it was fine! The ditch is pretty deep so if you're throwing balls just be aware of where it is and be careful to throw away from that area. I would be happy to have them run here again in the future. Christine H.

55Easy access off the road. Nice and quiet spot. For how much rain we have had recently the sniff spot itself was not muddy at all. There is a gap under the main gate, If you had a puppy or smaller dog. They could squeeze under it. Our big dogs had no problem though. There are some small pieces of barbed wire at the bottom of the field. Marked with caution tap. So easy to watch out for. Peaceful and fun little spot to let dogs sniff and run :) Hanna M.

55Our 2 energetic Pomskies had a wonderful time sniffing and exploring this spot. They maximized the full hour playing, running and checking out every well-fenced corner. One doesn’t do well at dog parks so this is the perfect alternative to give them a safe space to be off leash. We will be back! Alyson S.

55This spot was easy to find and was a great place for my puppy to have his first play date! I love that I knew it was only going to be two dogs and it was securely fenced. This was a great experience and I’ll definitely be back!Anne M.

55This is our first time using Sniffspot. Newly rescued dog and unsure how he will do at an open dog park. This was perfect, lots of room to run, water and area was clean so far as we could see. We will definitely come backAmber P.

FAQ about our Tacoma 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.
