Hazards

Blackberry bushes/vines and some potholes. Property is on an incline. Rain can cause mud and slippery spots so please be careful. When you arrive you’re going to park in the gravel area just outside the gate. You will enter the door right off the gravel area into a large field. As you enter the field you will see a 5 gallon water jug to fill the water bowl or fill your water bottle. This area is also where you will find the poop can, dry towel bin, toy bin, tennis ball bin and treats for purchase to work your recall! If your dog is sensitive to people or other dogs on site or through a sense, you will want to spend your time on the back area trails. The big field shares a fence with my backyard/courtyard area. My area has dogs coming in and out because I train and board pups. Dogs will not be out unattended and I will call them away from the fence area when your entering. However PLEASE If you are concerned about barrier aggression stay on leash until your past the big get over to the trail side. The gravel parking area for sniffspot is also parking for training clients. If somebody else’s unloading, please wait for them to vacate the area to unload. Many dogs I work with have behavioral issues so they also need space. Thank you!

    Part manicured lawn, part walking trail! We saw several bunnies and what I assume were field mice in the trail area so if you have a high prey drive dog this might not be the best fit. But we had a great time exploring, practicing recall, playing ball and finally relaxing in the shade!! This was a great time for a reactive pup! It was so great to go on a ‘hike’ with him, thank you, we’ll be back!

  • Elizabeth C., May 30, 2023

    Wonderful spot! Stopped on our way home from the mountain and the dogs enjoyed the ability to run free.

  • Andrea C., May 29, 2023

    We had a great time, our 6 year old Great Dane St Bernard mix loved all the trails and especially loved the kiddy pool to cool off at the end.

  • Cecilia N., May 29, 2023

    My puppies had fun running in the trails! they jumped the little obstacles and ran around up and down the hills! So much fun. Well fenced and felt secure.

  • Elke A., May 27, 2023

    Had a great time again! My boys liked the little pool to cool of 😊 Thanx for having us!

  • Monika K., May 27, 2023

    Our dogs love this place! Great trails! Awesome location! Lyndsi does a fantastic job!

  • Samantha F., May 27, 2023

    Great spot to stretch the puppy legs! Loved the back trails, we could sit at the picnic table at the top and see the pups explore, bounce among the grass and chase each other threw the trails. They were tuckered out which is the ultimate goal. Lots of toys, water, pup pool…. Good time was had by all!

  • Rachel R., May 26, 2023

    Very well fenced and large area, the dogs loved all of the different trails! I have a dog reactive dog and the dogs at the boarding facility weren’t an issue at all, it was the perfect space for her roam off leash.

  • Evan B., May 21, 2023

    Great fenced space to practice trail hikes and recall!

  • Audrey H., May 20, 2023

    The spot was easy to find. The host was friendly. The area was safe and secure for our fur babies. The fenced in play yard with agility training, baby pool, bucket of balls and toys and drinking station was a big hit!

Proud to be representing as Sniffspot's global business model again in the June 5, 2023 of Womens World magazine. Also featured in Business Insider on June 9, 2022. *5/11/23 NEWLY ADDED PAVED ENTRY INTO DRIVEWAY!!! NOW YOU'RE WELCOME TO DRIVE ONE RIG INTO THE FIELD (stopping at end of asphalt), then closing big gate so you can release your pups without leashes or worry of them getting into the road! ALSO ADDED LARGE TUB FOR PUPS TO COOL OFF IN! You won’t be able to see the people or dogs in field one while you are in field two. Maybe just a glimpse of them when they are arriving or leaving their cars from a distance. We have buildings and trees that separate the two. Field #2 also has a separate entrance and driveway from field #1. We offer poop bags all around the field, and a garbage can for your use. If you happen to see a pile someone missed, please help us out, but PLEASE BE AWARE OF YOUR PETS AND PICK UP AFTER THEM, TOYS TOO!!!. Thank you so much for your cooperation! We also provide a large metal bowl and water hose. We also have a super nice and comfy picnic table and chair sets. We cannot guarantee your dog that is under 30 pounds will not get out if they love to play Houdini with you, as the cattle fence has a few gaps here and there that a rebellious dog could crawl under if not watched. The odds of that are rare though, as you'll be out there with them. Realistically it’s more like 20 pounds or less, but I wanted to play it on the safe side. The rest of the acre is fenced, with small enough holes that you’re 30+ pound dog will not go through or under them. ALSO, if you'd like to have an event on our farm anywhere, we can discuss your wants and make something work for you. We also host overnight stays in two cottages we have on the property. BUT, you CANNOT bring your pets here to stay the night. We want to keep the cottages pristine and dander free for our Airbnb guests that book here. Thanks for reading! Hope to see you here soon! We know you will love our magical farm!

Proud to be chosen again as Sniffspot's global business model! Read about us in the June 5, 2023 issue of Womens World Magazine! Also in Business Insider's June 9, 2022 articles. NEW! Appt only warm deluxe dog shower for extra fee. We provide soaps, shampoos, towels. We also have a nice wading pool for fido to cool off in! STAY COMFY WHILE CHUCKING BALLS FROM NEW PLUSH SWIVEL CHAIRS, AND PROPANE FIREPIT TABLE SET! If you would like it on during your time here, just call or text me at 503-481-4327 ahead of time to request it, and one of us will turn it on for you and turn it off after you leave. We also have an 'Alexa' dot ready to play your favorite songs while you're here! Just say 'Alexa' first, tell her what you like, and she'll play anything, as well as listen in to all of your spilled secrets of classified government information you share with her. *IF YOUR DOG(S) CAN/WOULD JUMP A 5' FENCE, PLEASE KEEP THEM ON A LEASH. We have 2 neighboring passive dogs that occasionally bark when you drive by them, and we've had 12 different guest dogs now jump it over the last few years to go over to say hello to them. Thankfully no dogs have ever been harmed, but if yours could become aggressive, we don't want anything happening to theirs. Plus, we wouldn't want yours to have access to the road out front. Thank you! Our 1/2 acre fully enclosed private park is a fun and PERFECT place for your dog(s) to safely run and play freely! You and your pups will love our artsy boho farm! Water bowl next to hose provided, paved entrance and patio, picnic table, chairs and tables, wading pool, swing, TV toys, clean porta potty access, doggie poop bags hanging all around the field w/disposal can, rubber mats, umbrellas and unique art everywhere! We've also added privacy screening along the entrance road. There's alot more to the 7 1/2 acre farm that makes it very unique. it's sort of like a rural "Portlandia". We've hosted dozens of weddings, parties, concerts, and reunions here in the past. So, just ask if you'd also be interested in using the farm for your own special event! We've had tons of doggie play date and birthday parties here. Just inquire first letting me know how many cars there'd be. Hope to see you and your pups out playing here soon! Thanks!
