55Great trails, dog loved it. Easy to park and find, feels like a mini hike. It was clean and private. There is barking in the distance and visible horses but nothing too loud or crazy. Awesome spot.Robin P.

55Great spot, the dogs loved zoomies in the woods and swimming. There were horses pretty close by but behind a fence, it was good exposure for the dogs.Elizabeth N.

55Very well signed and plenty bug spray around the property. My dog was plenty happy running up and down the trail. The public land is also very private as it doesn't show up in Gaia app we did not see anyone there. It's a bit of drive coming from Bellevue area but Ruby is worth it. No poop on the property grounds but some poop in the public land. Roberto M.

55This was a lovely short, shaded trail (it does get a bit steep, but not for long) to a nice grassy area with a view of the horses in pasture. There were chuck it balls and water bowl available which was wonderful because I forgot Hadlee’s frisbee in the car. She had a wonderful time. The hosts maintain a beautiful property and have good signage visible throughout.Amber K.

55Great spot! Our pups had a great time and are thoroughly worn out. Trails are well maintained, well marked zombie area was great for throwing sticks and balls. A very quiet spot with extra amenities like bug spray, towels, and places for the pup parents to sit and relax for a few. Hosts dog barked breifly when we got there but was not visable and the host quickly got him inside and sent a message apologizing, which was not definitely not necessary but appreciated. The pups loved watching the couple of horses they could see in the pastures and the fencing was definitely secure enough for our dogs. Thank you Tim for making this spot available.Lindsay S.

55Made the trek up from Seattle and was not disappointed! Everything was very clearly labeled - starting from the road to help you find it. I appreciated the extra touches like bug spray (thank you!!), towels, extra balls, poop bags, and a hose/water for the dogs. My dog had a great time exploring, playing fetch, and swimming. It was a great way to spend a hot day without going to a crowded dog park with water access - just letting my dog fully get to be a dog without worrying about anyone else for a bit!Kari Y.

55The girls love this Spot. Lots of racing around and exploring. Lola was fascinated by the horses and pushed her way under the barrier fence to get closer. 😬 Luckily no harm done and the owner was very understanding. He checked the area she pushed through and reinforced it right away. We'll be back again. Victoria M.

55Beautiful spot with so many nice little touches (bug spray!) along the trail. A good batch of toys in the zoomies area. It's really nice to get a woods walk of our own while the pups wander around exploring. Lovely spot!Rebecca H.

55Still one of my top 5 spots! And the owner has added extra protection on fencing where horses are. My girl seems to want to bark her head off at the horse. She is still learning about livestock. So thank you Black Pond!Shelly G.

55Another fabulous visit to Black Pond, as always! Our retriever, Juno, loves doing water retrieves in the pond. I made her pause her swimming long enough to take a photo in front of the bright red rhodie bush near the pond. We would visit more often if it was just a bit closer to our home. Margaret T.

FAQ about our Colville 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.
