55What a fantastic hour our pups had! We did too since we didn’t have to worry about them being off leash since the entire 25 acres is fenced! A spotless environment for the pups to run and sniff. Water stations are setup and the pups & us appreciated that. I can’t imagine a better spot for the pups to run freely. Barb met us at the gate and we got to know her and everything about the property. We even discussed some dog training with her. We will definitely be back as often as we can.Melanie T.

55Our dogs love Barb’s Sniffspot and we do too! It’s an incredible spot for our reactive pup to get some rare off leash time and safely enjoy running around and being a “normal” dog. Cormac O.

55My pups and I come once a week to this amazing slice of paradise. I'm not sure if it's more beneficial for the pups or for me! The property is safe and very clean, we look forward to our visits!Christina F.

55This is the *best* SniffSpot! There is so much room for the dogs to run, sniff, dig, and explore. Barb provides ample amounts of supplies such as doggie bags, water, toys, and a covered place to sit. I love coming here just as much as my dogs do!Genevieve A.

55What a gem! We loved the combination of open field and wooded trails! The placement of bins for poop bags made it nice so I didn’t have to carry filled bags the entire time. Our boys enjoyed exploring in the woods and then going all out in the field. Wish we lived closer so we could visit more often, we will definitely be back when we are in the area!Joleen B.

55Exceptional, as always.
Either new, or new to me, though, the people across the street have dogs out in the front yard that I've not seen before...Who nonstop bark their heads off as soon as they see your dogs. For us, it made for a great opportunity to practice reactivity training while being able to give as much distance as was necessary.Tonya K.

55A beautifully maintained property, so large that our active dog was tired before our time was up from running so hard. Tons of amenities, including two shelters from the elements. Heather H.

55This space is amazing! This is the first relaxing walk without a dog that I've had in over a year. 🤣 Now don't get me wrong, Liina was there. I wandered through the forest slowly, maybe 4 laps, while she ran flat out flying over ferns, bounding into ponds, sailing over streams, and running running running. She most definitely had the best day ever!
We'll be making this a regular stop. It's the perfect size for playing, off leash work, and some hide and seek.
A little muddy as expected this time of year. Definitely wear boots if it's been raining. Exceptionally clean and well-maintained grounds and trails.Saara K.

55Absolutely unbelievable. Curated trails, huge field, private, and quiet. Our dogs loved the smells and space to run. Every detail is in place. Rough ground, as expected, so wear hiking boots and bring some towels for the dogs (tho there is a hose on site). Kate D.

55Wow, this place is really special! This was my first time visiting and Grace has thought of everything. My pup and I had a blast exploring this big, beautiful property. Just make sure to wear boots you can get muddy and bring a towel in case your dog decides to check out the creek. We both enjoyed the special treat that the host left for us at the end. Arielle F.

55We had a wonderful visit to this spot. The trails through the peaceful woods were well groomed and nice and wide. There was a lot of great areas for sniffing and secure fencing! My dogs had a blast playing in the creek, so be sure and take some towels. Grace is an exceptional host and there was professional signage. We felt very welcome here and will definitely return!Wendy K.

55We had a great experience at this Sniffspot. Grace put several personal touches into our first visit. We had a very nice time. If you have dogs with physical limitations, talk to Grace before your visit. The hill is very steep and may be too demanding.Kristin R.

55The best of all SniffSpots! Grace was so kind and welcoming and there’s everything you could possibly need, even an outhouse. Our wirehaired pointing griffon had the best time sniffing and hunting around this beautiful property. He is leash reactive and we loved that the property is fully and securely fenced so we could trust that he was secure and no one else would be joining us. We could hear a dog or two in the distance and there are chickens across the creek (behind a fence - maybe two fences even) but otherwise you’re pretty much on your own. It was a lovely experience and we can’t wait to come back.Joseph B.

FAQ about our West 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.
