55Super easy to find, clearly marked parking spot and entry into area. Grace is delightful and spoils her guests with balls to throw for the doggies and access to her cute goats for a visit. No need to bring water for doggies, there is a beautiful stream running thru. The gorgeous woodland is an amusement park for dogs and very special spot for nature lovers. It is nicely secluded and private with many different areas to explore, an absolute treasure! We’ll be back with a picnic and more time to spend VERY soon!Kristin s.

55Grace’s place is paradise for our pups — they start wiggling their tails off as soon as we pull into her driveway! So much variety for romping and sniffing—they explored every single acre of terrain today and then were too tired to jump back into the car at the end :) Grace as always is such a wonderful, thoughtful host — we cant wait to come back.

55Amazing. We were first greeted and given directions to the back by Grace. Grace is such a lovely person, her care and hospitality make this visit even better. Our reactive pup loved the forest walk/hike, and of course- the river🥰! We visited on a rainy day so I recommend wearing boots and bringing a towel to dry off your pup. We will be back FOR SURE ❤️.

55Great spot to bring your dogs! Easy to get to, many little trails to explore, and my dogs ran non-stop for the full hour. So nice to have a place to let your dogs off leash and not have to worry about running into anybody. We will be back again!Erika P.

55Another wonderful time at the Sniffspot. I have a reactive dog and it works out well for her to get to know people in an outdoor, open environment where she is off leash. We were able to do that today at this beautiful spot and celebrate my birthday with my best friend, while our dog ran pell mell and had a blast. I got a lovely surprise on my way out. Our hosts gave me a birthday card with my dog’s photo, dog bone Cookies and chocolates for all humans. Our favorite Sniffspot.Sol R.

55This place is one of a kind ! We spent 2 hours exploring this special spot . Our 8 month old puppy told us this was the best day ever. He chased butterflies and ran until we made him leave . Our only regret was not bringing a picnic. Grace is a kind and considerate host who clearly wants to provide a unique sniffspot experience for all dogs and their owners ! ann w.

55I loved it! Their area was big with lots of places for my pup to explore, and they even had a little creek where she could splash around and get a drink. Grace was very sweet (with a little surprise that I won't spoil!), and I'll absolutely be back again.Jessi B.

55Gorgeous property with plenty of trails and space to explore. My dogs and I had a wonderful morning. We did an hour and a half but easily could have done longer because it was so beautiful and well maintained. Grace, the host, was lovely and the extra surprises were such a nice touch. We’ll definitely be back! Alexandra L.

FAQ about our Ferndale dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility 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. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility 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.
