At Argus Ranch Dog Sports & Training Center we offer a wide variety of training classes. You can view all of the class options on our website www.argusranch.com or email training@argusranch.com
Our facility has river access on the property. It is an amazing place for the dogs to swim and really enjoy the river! It is best from late spring to late fall!

I love this place. The only issue was that when I arrived at our last 2 visits there was someone already using the Sniffspot field. They were members of the dog training center there and they were very nice about it but I had to ask them to leave. Awkward but it worked out.
Convenient and great to meet our boy run
Great spot! Make sure you check/follow the photo/directions can be confusing which field you’re to use.
No problem finding the area.
Great space to run. The nearby horses and dogs worked well as training tools to practice playing through distractions.
This was our second visit to this paddock. (The first time was our first visit to any Sniffspot). Our dog loves it. We book it for an hour. It is big enough for her to run many times after her fave ball, and then also be able to do some training time, as well. The neighboring paddocks provide some great opportunities for training distractions, with the added bonus of fencing and a bit of distance to help with focus. It is quite a long drive from our home in Seattle, so it’s nice that there are (portable) restrooms available, in case they are ever needed. The people we met were all nice to us. No one hassled us for occupying the paddock longer than the training patrons are permitted. We were careful not to enter until the hour we leased started, and left promptly when the hour was over. It’s nice that there are bags and a trash bin available right on the fence, in case we ever run out. And it’s nice that this field/paddock is well-maintained by everyone who uses it. The field was clean, with nice grass, and without any unexpected messes left by others. We brought our dog’s own water bottle, as we always do when going to off-leash parks. We didn’t ask if there were a water source to refill it from, but I expect we may ask that question when warmer weather appears. We will be back, and will try to explore how to sign up and explore the add-on amenities. Looking forward to exploring the water access, training options and bigger field amenity in the future. Thank you to our hosts for their hospitality.
Area was pretty small and there were patrons of the dog training facility trying to use the area as well. The fence has a sign saying the area is for use of the folks that have worked with the ranch before and is only to be used in 10 mins increments. One lady came by and thought we were hogging the area and said "I guess I'll go find somewhere else", after having walked around waiting for us to leave. Even though we explained we had booked 1.5 hrs through Sniffspot. Other reviews mention this same issue, it's unfortunate nothing is being done about it.
Good spot
Our first Sniff Spot visit. My dog loved having the freedom to explore and run across the field, while occasionally engaging with the two horses in the adjoining pasture. It was nice knowing he was secured with the fully fenced “paddock”.
Amazing place with lots of space.
