55Penny loved the area! As soon as we entered the space she ran off to smell around. She was so tired & content by the end of the hour. She actually didn’t want to leave!Brenda C.

55Dustin’s space is great! Big yard with lots of room for running and plenty of shaded spots for those hot, Eastern WA days! There was water and a chair to use, which was very appreciated! My dog had such a blast playing fetch!! There were some people and dogs out and about, but the space is plenty big that if your dog wouldn’t feel comfortable with seeing those things that they can be kept out of sight! I most definitely recommend this spot!!Lydia R.

55Dustin has a very safe space to let your dog run/play. There are chairs and water/bowl to use. Nice shady areas and an undercover space to sit. I had a special circumstance arise and Dustin was very kind and quick to reply. I will definitely be using his space in the future. 🐶Shae M.

55This spot never disappoints. Super clean and spacious. Plenty of spots for my dogs to sniff around and then get some sprints in. Dustin is always great with communicating what is happening around the area. 2 gallons of fresh water for the dogs always provided and a place to sit. No toys or place to dispose of poop bags so we bring our own and pack out with us. Stacy D.

55This was the absolute best place we have ever been to with our pup. Super clean, a very nice, green and cut lawn. Chairs, shade and water provided. I was also extremely happy to see that there was no dog toys laying around. We had our own toys with us that are suitable for our dog. Unfortunately, we live 100 miles from Yakima, otherwise, we would be using it much more frequently. Maria S.

55This was my first time using Sniffspot, I couldn’t have had a better experience! When I got there getting inside was so easy, it felt like I was walking into my own backyard. It was private, clean and very safe for my dog. There was no neighboring dogs which was great it allowed mine to play freely without being distracted. The host communicated well and answered all questions. Will definitely be visiting again!Lorena G.

55Really nice yard! It was picked up, had leaves to play in, fully fenced with no holes, and a couple of toys available! They even provided some poop bags on the fence (though I’d bring your own too just in case) the dogs had a blast and we’ll definitely be back! Sarah T.

FAQ about our Yakima dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are 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 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Yakima area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 13 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 1 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
