55Lovely spot in a great location. Even with heavy rainfall earlier in the day, the yard was not muddy or soggy. Lots of tennis balls, a frisbee and a jolly ball for my boy to enjoy. Excited to come back next time! Alison E.

55super nice we’ll maintained yard! Had some toys and water set out, we enjoyed using the chuck it! All windows were either closed or covered, so if your dog is sensitive to seeing other dogs you can still enjoy this spot! Will come again! Gracie W.

55Never heard of sniffspot until my wife gave me a heads up that there were backyards from nearby locals waiting to host my dog.
I booked everything using the browser in under five minutes. That’s saying something, as my wife knows (she calls me the slowest man north of Seattle).
The app enables even boomers like me to seamlessly take their dog where they please with no interactions with owners or other humans. I’m no introvert, but if I was this app would be my best my friend. Solely because of that.
My only gripe is there was no tip option for the hosts. They went above and beyond to provide space for my dog and I want to thank them for it.Stu T.

55Amazing property. Looking forward to coming back in the summer. Fully fenced and safe. Deer made an appearance on the other side of the fence. Trees were nice to block the rain. Sydney D.

55Huge trees for shade/rain cover, but still plenty of room for zoomies. Our dogs give the tall grass along the fence 5 stars for flavor, they spent half of our visit munching on it! Us humans appreciate the comfy, 420-friendly spot to hang out with our rowdy dogs.Eli B.

55So many tennis balls the dogs didn’t know what to do! If your dog likes to jump high, just be careful around the wood pile. Otherwise this sniff spot gets 11 out of 10. Benjamin P.

55Lovely, large backyard with toys and water for the pups! It was a little drizzly the day we went, but large trees kept the yard relatively dry. Hosts were even kind enough to offer a reschedule for me when I discovered my husband had taken my keys! Very grateful for the space & time, thank you again!Katie M.

55The space was fully fenced, water available, balls and a chuckit. There is one small section of fence near the house that is about four feet high but has wood stacked along it. It shouldn’t be a problem for most dogs but my female is a jumper so one of us just stood in the area and moved her along if she was near there. Overall the dogs (two dobermans) loved it and had nice long tongues by the time we left lol. The grass is in good shape and there is lots of shade available. Candice A.

FAQ about our Bellingham small dog parks
Are small 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 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Bellingham?
There are 61 small dog parks in the Bellingham area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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 small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties 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. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
