55Our pup loves to get wet and muddy so this place is perfect. It was good practice seeing how she reacted to the other animals on the farm. We’ll definitely be back. Boots are a must. Amelia L.

55Great place for your dog to run around and jump in the creek too. Melissa is fantastic! She shows you the perimeter and helpful tips. My dog got to see her therapy horses and alpaca up close (all were super friendly). Looking forward to coming back on another sunny day! Tara G.

55The Portuguese Water Dogs had a blast playing in the flooded field from the torrential downpour last night. We weren't able to get close to the creek because we weren't dressed for it but the dogs had a great time scampering through the field and dry land, back and forth. The alpacas and horses were fun to walk by and if the dogs hadn't seen critters that big it would have been a good socialization (at a distance). All in all, lots of fun and we will be back. Thanks, Melissa!Deana A.

55I've been coming here for the past couple weeks. You and your dog will have fun if :
- Your dog (s) have good off leash recall
- you bring boots in the wet months
- your dog (s) is good around/near horses/alpacas.
- you don't mind getting muddy or having a muddy dog
(bring towels if you like your car's upholstery 😂)
Facts:
- Melissa will give you a tour and explain all this on your first visit.
- Like all other sniffspots, it is your responsibility to check the perimeter/fence line. If you are concerned you can leave your dog in the car while you take the tour and inspect.
- Between the 1st & 2nd gate, your dog(s) need to be on a leash in the horse pasture for the protection of the horses, alpacas and your dog. The alpaca fencing is electrified because a stallion shares that area with them and that keeps him from going on un sanctioned dates with the mares. So you walk to the second gate with dog(s) on a leash. Great training opportunity right there.
- The alpacas will come investigate your arrival behind that electric fencing. Don't pet them without the owners approval. Don't let the dogs too close to the fence cuz like I said it's electrified.
- An electrified fence does not mean that it's dog proof. The purpose of the fence is to keep the alpacas in their area. You are responsible to keep your dog(s) out.
- The mares, if they are out grazing might look at you and might consider walking up. If you don't feel comfortable make sure to let Melissa know before your scheduled visit so she can make arrangements. In most cases they'll ignore you and the dogs tho.
- Part of the play area is a marsh. That's why you need boots during the rainy season.
- The owners provide access to the creek. It's not their creek. If it's not safe to go during a rain storm or immediately thereafter, don't go. You are a guest and that's a perk (not a dog given right, pun intended).
- The fencing is down to access that creek area. It's barb wire covered by high grass. Dogs figure out to hop over it pretty quick. Watch your step so you don't trip.
- Creeks rise when it rains. The flow can be very strong. Coming when it rains will probably lead to some swift water situation so swimming is not recommended for any dog/person.
- There are blackberry bushes in the play area. There are also some thorns here and there (mostly along the fence line and some sporadic spurts near the marsh). If you have sensitive skin/clothing/feelings, stay out.
- You might step in horse poop.
- The dog(s) might step/roll/eat horse poop.
- You and your dogs might get muddy in the rainy season.
- This is not the best place to play fetch with a tennis ball. It will probably get lost (turn to trash). There are plenty sticks to fetch tho. Also found a coconut today. Genius plan 😂
- Did I mention having good recall? Yeah. But it's worth mentioning again. The fence has been taken over by vegetation in some areas so it is below 4ft in some spots. There is more of the same on the other side of the fence where that is the case so it's not a huge deal if your dog has good recall (or a long lead).
- If your dog is aggressive towards horses, alpacas and has no recall or basic obedience please don't ruin it for the rest of us and go some place else where no livestock is present.
If this all sounds like a mission you are willing to accept you and your dogs will have a fantastic time. Ines D.

55THIS PLACE IS THE LITERAL COOLEST!!! The place was so easy to find. Host is amazingly friendly, down to earth, and enjoyed showing us around! I adored the four horses, two Llamas, barn cat, and BlueBoy the Mini Rex rabbit. Wear rain boots, if you have them, as it’s very soggy and wet in spots. There’s a huge lovely creek, tall grass, so many natural trails to follow, mud to run through, sticks to throw, and smells to track. We took so many photos, but it’ll take a week for the fancy DSLR ones to be edited. X3 Two hours flew by like nothing!! We will definitely be back! Melisa P.

55Great spot with a lot of variety. Blackberry brambles, manicured grass, swampy spot, because of the rain. Trees, and large animals. Lucy’s favorite so far. Host met us and showed us around, warning us that the flooding had sent a log over a small portion of the fence which was easy to avoid. Lisa L.

55My dog Remy and I had a great time here! He got to have some up close encounters with horses and alpacas and got to run around the fenced in area to his hearts delight! It was so nice seeing him relaxed enough to "stop and smell the flowers" (or horse poop) because he's really leash reactive. There was some water that I thought he'd love but he was just happy roaming.
I loved it because it was next to a bird sanctuary so I finally got a chance to enjoy nature myself for the first time in months.
Melissa and everyone else was so nice and understanding!
I'll definitely go back and remember my binoculars this time Megan S.

55Fun location! Nice greeting, easy parking, short walk to the play area. Good safe exposure to farm animals. The play area was swampy and muddy but everything is this time of year and the dogs loved the water and mud and all the smells in the grass. There was a section that was not muddy where the dogs could play chase and fetch and there were amazing smells everywhere! We had a blast!Christina G.

FAQ about our Battle Ground dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Battle Ground?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs 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. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
