55This was our first time using Sniffspot. We are so lucky to have this private park just 7 minutes from our house. Thank you to the host for giving us a tour of the two acre property. Our dog Wally loved to explore this property.....fell a little too much in love with the chickens, but the chickens tolerated him. This hilly property is great for a dog to run, sniff and explore. The hidden treats were so much fun for Wally. Thank you! We can't wait to go again!Deanna L.

55We hosted a birthday party for our buddy and invited 5 of his best doggy friends to come play! We took advantage of the add-on to rent the patio space and it was perfect for all the humans to hang out. The host went above and beyond to make sure our party was epic and that we felt welcome in her space. Our guests were so impressed with our little shindig and our dog had possibly the best day of his life :) Chantelle J.

55Very nice place! My dogs had a great time playing, running, jumping and exploring! It is on a hill but has steps all around to go up or down! The chickens were a fun experience for the pups! They even had a bag of water for us and poop bags! Great experience! And the fence was great for my 2 Great Danes!Mandy w.

55My first visit to a Sniffspot with my 5 month old puppy. Loved the quietness of this property and variation of yard to paths to hills. Charlie got to see chickens in their coop! I used a long leash for this visit and may try off leash next visit but that was for my comfort level since Charlie has never been off leash and some of the hills are steep especially for a 70 year old. Will definitely go back for another visit.Nancy M.

55This spot is AMAZING! Mary Ann, thank you for providing a safe place to explore and a much needed pup play date with your two sweet girls! Our boy Boz is very leash reactive when around exciting places and new friends so he was really worked up and noisy getting in, but Mary Ann and her pups were so understanding and supportive that after some cool down work we got to meet new friends had a perfect visit! Everything was very secure and beautifully maintained, even when he was far away we easily were able to see him or call to him at all times. It's so rare we get to visit a place where we all can be relaxed and confident, we will make this a stop every time we're back to visit family! Thank you again, your spot is a treasure and easily the best sniff spot!!jennifer h.

FAQ about our Vashon 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 Vashon area range from $4.0 and $25.0. The least expensive dog field is Enumclaw Acre. The most expensive dog field is Dog Nirvana in Maple Valley - 10 plus acres fully fenced!. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
