55My pup & I loved this yard! It’s huge! Lots of room to run and play.
There were some “hiccups” at booking due to SniffSpot’s app lag; but hostess made up for it by letting us extend our stay.
Miranda does exist & is very nice. :-) Blue & I will definitely be coming back!JOSIE L.

55We had a great time here! Plenty of space to run and play. No trouble accessing the driveway, then closing the gate behind us. My dog explores every corner and does a perimeter check everywhere we go so we had a tough time staying on the east side of the driveway :( Thank you for sharing your yard!Lauren R.

55It was a very nice open space with thick grass, which kept it from being muddy in our rainy climate. A huge plus! The problem we had is that there is a large area with plants that have sticky burrs on them, which became embedded in our dog’s fur. They came out with a bath and some elbow grease, but we probably won’t go back because of this. Which is a bummer because we liked everything else about the property! Perhaps it’s seasonal?Jennifer and David M.

55Nice place to visit, is as described. I was a little worried about having to keep the dogs away from a certain part of the yard, and if any cats were seen, so I kept my dog on leash and just let it drag. It worked out fine, was a beautiful day, and a nice place to let my dogs sniff and explore.Becky M.

55This was our first experience with Sniff Spot and I couldn't have asked for a better one. We had a huge fenced in yard to ourselves to play ball. The host was very accommodating and we loved the view. Jodie E.

55This spot was perfect for our girls! 😃 Tons of space for our golden to run, and play fetch. Clean, private, no other dogs or people around. Only things I would suggest… bring water, and keep an eye out for burs, as mentioned in previous reviews. Over all great spot, we’ll definitely use it again! Chelsea H.

55We loved the location! It was our first sniff spot experience and it was all positive. The fencing is all secure and plenty tall for our big boy. There was mention of rabbit holes and while we saw them they were small and no concern for us or Goliath. A neighbor walked by with a large dog on the other side of the street but their dog was quiet and well behaved, they looked at each other but that's about it. There was so much to explore on the east side our guy didn't even try to go to the house/garden areas which was a big relief! We brought our own water =)Lucinda C.

55Nice open space with low rises to give my lab/ golden mix a work out after being cooped up in urban space during the winter. I have a large dog who doesn't roam so the fencing seemed fine. I appreciated the advice to walk around a bit at the beginning to alert rabbits that another animal was around.Dan H.

55Once you figure out the gate, it is a doggy paradise that is close to home. A dog did walk by on the street, but we were up top, so my dog didn't see. Gently rolling hills to get them pooped. Will come again! Rebecca W.

55Great space to run! While there, we only saw 3 people pass by, so very calm and quiet neighborhood. Some question about where to park (we parked on the property on the gravel - hope that was ok!). Eager to return! Ashley J.

FAQ about our Vader dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash 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 city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs 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. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility 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.
How much do Sniffspot agility parks cost?
Dog agility parks in the Vader area range from $5.0 and $13.0. The least expensive dog agility park is Piper's Paradise- 3 acre Private Dog Park In Warren, Or. The most expensive dog agility park is Dexter's Bark Park. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
