55This is my favorite sniff spot! Very secure, even for smaller dogs. So much space for my dogs to run around. Water provided. There’s always extra balls & chuck it sticks. I’ve been twice so far and my dogs always leave absolutely exhausted. Definitely recommend! Julia A.

55Great spot! Loved that there were little trails for the dogs to run all across the area. I was a little worried about the road up but my sedan handled it just fine going slowly!Emily W.

55Great, private spot! Fully fenced, we felt very secure with three large (GSD) dogs. There’s a narrow trail that runs around the perimeter of the fence in a loop, and the center is mostly ferns, trees, etc. lots of good things for the pups to sniff and climb. Toyo G.

I’ve been bringing my 2 small dogs to Denise’s property regularly for almost a year now, and we absolutely love it. The space is clean, spacious, and secure — perfect for dogs to run and explore. Denise is a thoughtful and conscientious host, and we always feel welcome. We look forward to continuing our visits for a long time to come! Jen D.

55The perfect controlled but wild environment to work on recall with a young pup! Extra arrival instructions were given upon booking that were super helpful - make sure to bring your own water!Zoe H.

55Our favorite spot so far! Just big enough for Simba to run wild in the open field and a small wooded area for him to sniff around all by himself. The owner, Denise greeted us and was very friendly. Water, throw toys and poop bags available for use. The ground was dry with a beautiful green lawn and fully fenced. We loved it! Kelly L.

55Wonderful SniffSpot! Host was very welcoming and I enjoyed our brief visit upon entering the yard. The property is gorgeous and very peaceful for both humans and pups. There is a nice table to sit at under the trees when it’s time for a little break. Highly recommend this spot!! Sarah L.

55Great space in the forest. Lovely place for my adolescent puppy to practice recall off leash following me along the trails and getting some freedom to roam and sniff. Able to play house and seek with her to make it even more fun. Jen L.

55Rented the space for my dogs birthday - 8 dogs total!! Plenty of room even in just using the smaller fenced area!! There was a faucet she let us use to fill a small dog pool and were able to bring food and chairs to hang out for a few hours. Great spot!!! Thank you so much K9 Grammy!!! Kaylan R.

55As always, Grammy's was just what my dog and I needed. Lots of space to explore and play ball! I was sad to see the sign saying that the smaller enclosure might close because folks allow their dogs to dig, leaving holes that hamper mowing. Folks, monitor your dogs, leave the area as you found it, and don't ruin it for the rest of us! Grammy's is our favorite Sniffspot and we don't want to lose it!Marie S.

FAQ About Bellingham 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. 1% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Bellingham 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 147 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 232 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.
