55This was our 2nd time to Barb’s amazing SniffSpot, within 2w - and well worth the 1hr drive and border crossing. We’ll be booking regularly here. We came after work, on a weekday. Now that the days are getting longer, we’ll be doing this more often. The picnic table is perfect to bring takeout dinner to as well. The property is well taken care of, and we love the field and the forest. My dog Tamale has so much fun running free with her stepbrothers Kingston and Koda. Her toy box was stuffed full with balls of all sizes, frisbee’s, chuckits and we were sure to put everything away that the dogs played with, before we left. Tamale loves the puddles and little ponds we came across in the woods, and we took advantage of Barb’s hose to rinse off. We always keep clean towels in our vehicles. The Outhouse in the driveway is also super clean and maintained. Barb really has set the bar high, for other SniffSpots. Christy R.

55What an absolute dream come true for our dog! 20 beautiful acres to roam and run and explore to himself with all the amenities you could ask for (dog toys, benches, water station, poo bags, and a hose to clean him up afterwards). Such a great opportunity for him (and us) to be off leash without a worry of other dogs or people. The host Barb is fantastic and genuinely accommodating. We will gladly be back. Thank you!!Derek K.

55Always such a pleasure coming to this space! Barb and company take such wonderful care of this space, and I swear it feels new every time. They added a covered area in the back woods and updated the trail system. So excited to come back later this month with all the family doggos. Regina B.

55As usual, we loved our visit. There was quite a lot of mud in the low spots and Watson and Roscoe went into every puddle…they love that. I always wear my Muck Boots here so the mud doesn’t bother me. The pups raced here and there the whole time and were ready for a nap at the end of our hour.Stephanie H.

55We LOVE this spot! Especially the trails. Barb takes such amazing care of her property and we really appreciate the extra special touches 💕 We come from Canada and it’s so worth the drive. One of our boys hasn’t had much off-leash time since we adopted him, since he doesn’t have good recall and is a bit unpredictable. So coming here gives us the peace of mind knowing that it’s fully fenced, he gets to roam free and we get to practice recall with him. We will definitely be using Barb’s spot again! Thank you! 🫶🏻Aleks P.

55If I could give Barb and her location MORE stars I would ... this is a perfect dog spot. A big open field for running and trails through the woods too (and all beautifully cared for as well). My pup had a fantastic time as did I!Lisa R.

55Just visited Barb's Sniffspot in Blaine, and it was absolutely worth crossing the border for! 🌟 The space is vast and immaculately maintained—perfect for pups to play and explore safely. Barb was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home. A total gem of a find for any dog parent looking for a safe and fun outdoor retreat for their furry friends. Highly recommend! 🐶💚 Ana-Maria M.

FAQ about our Vancouver 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 Vancouver area range from $20.0 and $20.0. The least expensive dog field is Acres in the Forest. The most expensive dog field is Acres in the Forest. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
