55Beautiful property, great views, very quiet, and my girls had fun sniffing and exploring. It’s so nice to have so many new Sniffspots popping up on the west side! We had a great time, but it was definitely a bit of a workout. if you or your pup have mobility concerns or if your dog is reactive around chickens, this spot may not be ideal. It’s on a fairly steep hillside and pups can walk right up to the little chicken coop. Lisa B.

55Some quick points-
1. There was a couple of other reviews that almost made it sound like the entrance was hard to find or identify from google maps. As someone who’s directionally challenged… I can confirm- this was incredibly easy to find. I’m not even entirely sure how people were missing the entrance before? Either way the signs out front were great.
2. The area is really well kept! It’s not just an overgrown pasture with weeds- you can tell the owner takes good care of this part of the lot (mowing ect).
3. A final note because I didn’t know what to expect before coming… The area of the lot that actually shares a border with the horses is a pretty small corner. In comparison to how big the rest of the boundary is- it didn’t seem like a big deal... There’s a wire gate (apparently the top that is electric) that separates them off. I’d honestly be a little worried if I had a dog that was reactive or that liked to jump (if it really is conducting electricity)… that being said if that’s your dog you probably wouldn’t be coming to a place near horses to start with 😅
All in all- definitely would come back! James M.

55My girl really loves this Sniffspot! The first time we came the horses were not in their pasture and I let her off leash. This time they were out and it gave us the opportunity to work off of them with her leashed! Still plenty of space to let her have a long lead on and relax. Raquel P.

55First time visiting and it is definitely in our top 3 places to go. The space is well fenced and kept very clean! Easy instructions to follow.
There was a doggo that came out on the neighbor’s side. Not a big deal for us. The played with each other through the fence. Very sweet dog! Will be back! Erin A.

55Love this spot. Huge and securely fenced. There are a ton of burrs in the water area which the host discloses so just be careful if you have a long hair dog. Kendall S.

55Super great spot and great host! I was worried about the horses along the fence as I have three dogs with high prey drive and the host was super accommodating when I asked if it was possible to out them up for our visit. The spot was perfect for my boys and everyone had a blast! There were a lot of little critter holes near the end of the spot that were a small hazard to my boys. We just avoided the area and didn’t have any problems. We loved this spot and will absolutely return in the future!!Tom R.

55Love the new entrance to the field! Beautiful spot as always.
One of the horses was grazing over the fence for a bit during our visit. Just a heads up for others - not a problem for my pups. They barked a bit from a distance but they care more about snacks than horses and were easily distracted! We kept a respectful distance and horse did not seem bothered by our presence ☺️
Thanks again for a lovely romp! A. D.

55Great spot for dogs who want to explore and run, chase and run some more. Beautiful location on the island. Places to sit and completely open to the sun if it’s shining. Take towels if your dog likes to go into water. I always take extra drinking water for my lab.Kathy W.

55This location was everything we could have asked for and more. My dogs loved having all the space to run, sniff, and explore.
Rainy season meant a lot of mud but the host has done a great job putting out sawdust and logs to make walking through the mud easier and safer Sarah M.

Frequently asked questions about Gearhart dog fields
Why are private dog fields better than public dog parks in Gearhart?
Private dog fields in Gearhart eliminate major public park risks: unpredictable dog encounters that scare puppies, aggressive dogs that trigger reactive behavior, chaotic crowds that overwhelm seniors or small dogs, and disease transmission from dozens of unknown dogs. Gearhart's 15 private dog fields offer complete privacy, professionally maintained cleanliness, and controlled environments. Whether you have a fearful puppy, a reactive adult, a fragile senior, or simply want peace of mind, private bookings give you control.
How safe are Gearhart dog fields compared to public dog parks?
Gearhart dog fields are significantly safer than public facilities. Public dog parks risk: aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission, overcrowding that triggers reactive behaviors or injuries. Private Gearhart dog fields eliminate these concerns—bookings are completely private, all guests have vaccinated dogs (or titers), and hosts maintain clean spaces. 93% of Sniffspot reviews are 5 stars.
Are Gearhart dog fields safe for reactive dogs?
Gearhart owners of reactive dogs choose dog fields because they offer safe, private environments for off-leash exercise without the triggers of public dog parks. Complete privacy means no unexpected dog encounters, no overwhelming chaos, no aggressive dogs. Reactive dogs can finally enjoy full-speed running and fetch while building confidence in a controlled setting. Many Gearhart reactive dog owners say Sniffspot is their only safe exercise option.
Can anxious dogs safely use Gearhart dog fields?
Yes! Gearhart dog fields provide controlled environments perfect for anxious or fearful dogs. No other dogs means no triggers, no overwhelming situations. Anxious dogs can explore a large, open grass area where dogs can run at full speed and play fetch at their own pace without stress. Many Gearhart dog fields offer quiet, spacious settings ideal for building confidence in nervous dogs who struggle at chaotic public dog parks.
Are Gearhart dog fields good for small dogs?
Absolutely! Small dogs benefit enormously from Gearhart dog fields because they can explore without fear of being trampled or intimidated by larger breeds. Many small dog owners in Gearhart avoid public parks entirely due to safety concerns—dog fields eliminate that worry. Filter for appropriate sizing, secure fencing with no gaps, and hosts who understand petite pup needs.
Do Gearhart dog fields work for senior dogs?
Yes! Senior dogs thrive at Gearhart dog fields because they can move at their own pace without being knocked over by rambunctious puppies or young dogs. Look for Gearhart dog fields with flat terrain, easy access, shade, and smaller sizes if your senior has mobility limitations. The privacy means your older dog can rest when needed and enjoy gentle exercise without stress.
What do Gearhart dog owners say about dog fields?
