55Nice safe and clean training building and fenced yard area. Indoors is about half the size of an obedience show ring but there is plenty of space to get in full length go-outs and signals. Very private and quiet.Cathy S.

55This is an awesome little spot that's close by the highway but feels very far away in the country. Sweet farm like setting. The indoor area is padded and will be great when it's raining outside. There are chairs, clean doggy toys and water available 😀. Next time I'd bring a towel to wipe off the soft soil from my hands, shoes, and toys lol. The yard has this soft, cushy soil that's great for leaping and landing! I felt bad for tracking it inside 😬. Maybe a push broom?Lisa W.

55Great spot! It’s excellent for the rainy dark winter season, well lit and the indoor area is awesome. Super clean and secure. We’re definitely planning to visit again!Emily D.

55My first experience with sniffspot. I had questions due to my blind pup. My questions were answered quickly. And a cool interactive sound ball wss even provided for us.This spot is great. I have 3 dogs I have a 2 year boxer and 2 9month old American Bully’s, one of which is blind. My blind pup loved the sound ball and the indoor area that had soft rubber mats. My other 2 loved running outside. It was very clean, private and refreshing. We will definitely be booking this spot as our regBecky P.

55This is an interesting place that has a little bit of everything! There is a big sloping grassy area, paths through the woods, and places to sit in the shade. One of our dogs loves to dunk in water to cool off, and he was delighted to find the little dog wading pool next to the house!Heidi S.

55Beautiful setting and lots of room for puppy romping! The garden has a dirt walk on a slope to the grass. I recommend wearing a walking shoe or the like to grip the dirt - not sandals like I did - then again, I have had a number of ankle injuries so need to be careful. It is truly lovely, peaceful, and quiet. Bring your own dog water.Josie E.

55Enjoyed this spot. Mary Ann welcomed us with text messages before we showed up for our visit. Lots of different levels for exploring. Yoshi was fascinated watching the chickens. I'm hoping as we get more familiar with this location, we will eventually get a chance to meet the owners dogs as well. Always looking for new playmates for a very playful, energetic Corgi.Nancy W.

55This was our first time using sniffspot and it was a great experience. I wanted to do something special for my dog's birthday and this looked like a wonderful place for the pups to romp around! It was - they absolutely loved it! Our host, Mary Ann, was so helpful and friendly. Her property is beautiful, with a spacious grassy area and ample trails to explore throughout the wooded portions. The dogs were thrilled to be able to explore and run wild. There was a little doggie pool as well that they dipped their paws in. The chickens were out of sight and we only heard a couple of little woofs (asking to play, I think) from her very sweet-looking dogs who came to a window at one point to say hello. Thank you to Mary Ann and her dogs for sharing their yard with us. Our dogs Indy and Bailey give this spot a 10/10. We hope to be back again soon!Allie S.

55This is an amazing Sniffspot! My dog and her two friends loved running along the trails through the woods, visiting the chicken coop, wading in the little wading pool, and just exploring, in general. It's really big and really interesting for dog. I did a thorough look at the perimeter fencing and it was completely secure. Some neighbor dogs came up to the fence and barked at us, but my dog and her friends didn't mind at all - there was too much fun to be had on their side of the fence :). It's so nice to have a large, fully fenced Sniffspot on the Gig Harbor side of the bridge, and Mary Ann was very friendly and helpful with directions! This is our new favorite spot and we will be back!! Alexa T.

55Great Sniffspot, wear hiking shoes. Our one dog was fascinated by the smell of the chickens. Glad I had a conversation about them before hand. Plenty of room to roam. Downhill and steps may be an issue for some but there is plenty of room at the top you can stay at. Sheila A.

55Super easy to find.
My dog is a senior 15lb Jack Russell mix with personality issues.
She doesn't get up to much running around, but she enjoyed plodding around sniffing every was corner.
The fencing was super secure so I felt good about letting her do her thing. Desiree M.

55This is a lovely yard - pretty, clean, well-maintained. There are toys and water available and a couple of benches. I will say, though, that if you have an anxious, reactive dog, this may not be the yard for you. There were a lot of neighborhood noises here: dogs barking, kids screaming (nice to know kids were outdoors playing and not inside playing video games or watching TV!), car alarms going off. One of my dogs was kind of a mess the whole time. Other than that, though, I highly recommend it! Heather R.

55Awesome 2 part yard with great elevation difference. We used this to our advantage to tire our pup out by throwing the ball into the lower yard, requiring her to have to climb back up to the upper yard. Lots of toys and balls available. Ample space. Nice secure and mostly private fence. Our dog has some reactivity issues that we’re working on (hence us renting out private sniff spot!) so she did bark at cars as they drove by, which happened about once every 15 min or so in the upper yard. That’s more of “our problem” but just in case you have a car sensitive dog!
We definitely will return to this awesome yard. Michelle H.

We were running late and worried about going over on our time. Sydney was responsive and easy to coordinate with. Rebecca J.

FAQ about our Union 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 Union?
There are 147 small dog parks in the Union 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.
