55We will be back soon!! It is an awesome space for my 2 Retrievers to run, play, sniff till they were worn out!! The variety in the space is nice, ie trees, no trees, grass, dirt, foliage, shade, sunny spots. Very important to me…it is a clean environment for my boys to enjoy. They enjoyed seeing the dogs in the adjoining spaces. I enjoyed sitting at the picnic table and watching them play. I highly recommend this spot!!Gloria N.

55Wonderful sniffspot! Directions were clear and I appreciate the signage making the spot easy to find. Also, being able to pull your car in and shut the gate is a nice bonus! The yard is maintained beautifully & the covered seating was clean along with everything you could need. The host was so kind and made sure we enjoyed our stay. This sniffspot was anything but Boring :) & we appreciate you sharing your yard with us! Kristin K.

55The Barking Lot was the BEST place to practice recall. It was a wonderful balance of shade trees and a place to romp in a grassy field.
Thank you!! It was just perfect!Elizabeth D.

55Theresa is an amazing host! Great communication and so kind! This is Maci’s happy place, she loves to do the perimeter check and sniff to her hearts content.
Very clean and nice amenities, picnic table under shade shelter, water, hand sanitizer. The property has both shade and sun. Beautiful forest like area with trees, a grassy area with sun and doggy pool and field like area with agility course. Nicely marked signs making it easy to find and a parking spot in front of gate. 100% recommend! Sarah B.

55Great SniffSpot! Clearly marked and instructions made it easy to find and park. Plenty of space to roam and fully fenced. Moxie loved having a forest to roam. Also appreciated the ammenities: water hose, bowl, toys and shaded spot to sit. Highly recommend! We'll be back. Johanna B.

55It was a bit hard to find because Google Maps directed us to the wrong location (thanks to your sweet neighbor for helping us!) but it was magic as soon as we saw the "Sniffspot" signs and got there. Our dogs had a wonderful time running around, playing fetch, and sniffing all the things. Thank you!Jamie D.

55I brought my two dogs. My three year old lab really needs a chance to run and play in a big space like this. He was good tired afterwards. Everything was easy and enjoyable! Thank you! Lindsay B.

55Great spot. Lots of shade. There were a few distractions present. We seen other dogs training in a yard next to the Sniffspot, and dogs barking across the street. Luckily, our dog was more interested in us, and the frisbee! Nicola C.

55This place is great- clean and welcoming. The shaded change of scenery was lovely and I could let my doggo off the long line. I got a little flustered with my GPS because it took me to the back side of the address ( which was down a neighbor’s drive) but I made my way back and down to the actual street and arrived at the SniffSpot.Danielle M.

55We were spending some time in the Mt Hood area and decided to take our pupper for a sniffspot. We had a wonderful time here! They had a nice set up with picnic table. It was fun having both field and trees to explore. Our dog is highly reactive, but we didn't see any other dogs or people. We heard some dogs barking, but he didn't mind. Just don't rely on Google maps directions, we ended up a neighbor's house at first LOLBonnie R.

55This was my first time using Sniffspot and it was awesome! I can’t wait to bring my dogs to this location again. They had so much fun running around the big open space. My little old lady likes to act like she can’t hear me these days so her recall is terrible. It was nice to have a big fenced in area where I could let her run free and not worry about her getting into trouble. We even got to get some agility practice in with the equipment that they have set up.
Theresa was also a great host! Thanks again for sharing your space with us. Blenia V.

55Teresa’s spot is delightful! Our husky loves running around in the huge space, and the mix of grass and shady woods is nice even on hot days. There are a bunch of toys stocked and a kiddie pool available to splash around in, and the fencing is very secure. There is even an agility course if you and your dog are so inclined to try it. I appreciate how they always ensure water is accessible and the picnic table and shade canopy are comfortable for human visitors. We will be back! Joseph S.

55Great spot! We have a large fenced yard ourselves but we're looking for a place to practice off leash skills in a new setting. This was the perfect spot! Large fenced in area with a nice mix of woods, grass, and a small field. Would highly recommend this location for you pups!Danielle T.

55This is an awesome spot! Your dogs will love it (and so will you!). It is clean, safe, peaceful, variety of landscaping and spaces to play and run. The hostess makes sure it is a “5 star retreat”!!
I will keep bringing my 2 Goldens back here as often as I can!Gloria N.

55Great sniffspot! Lots of space to run and play, and no foxtails! We did see 4 other dogs at the fence line while on the property. The two large dogs on the adjacent property were a bit aggressive in their barking which wasn’t a big deal for our pups (they quickly got the message to steer clear of that corner while the dogs were present), but I do mention it in case that might bother a reactive dog. (The sniffspot owner put up a privacy shield which helps a bit.) All in all, we thought it was a great spot and worth the drive from Portland! Jenny O.

FAQ about our Boring 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.

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 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.

Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types.

Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
