55This was a great spot! Nice open yard, level, and a good fence. Nice grass, even in the wet rainy Seattle winter. Easy to find and easy to get to. Clean! With water and a pooper scooper. Annie F.

55Wonderful host! Our dog loved her time here! We found the entrance to the yard from the alleyway. If you have small dogs, keep an eye on them as there are two spots that sneaky ones could potentially get out. We will definitely be bringing Winnie back for another visit :)Jordan T.

55WOW what a great yard! The front area is good sized, but the fact that the yard wraps all the way around the house made it PERFECT for my very zoomy puppy - I think he did about 20 laps of the house in the hour! Peaceful and beautiful, and large enough for good fetching plus plenty of zoomies.Kj H.

55This is a great yard! Much bigger than it looks and wide open for lots of running and sniffing. There was a dog on the other side of the very far fence that was pretty unhappy we were there but mostly it didn't affect anything. The toy selection was awesome, lots of water and bags, super easy parking and clear directions - highly recommended!Kj H.

55We love Archies Sniffspot! Lots of room to romp. Plus a hose to drink water from! Our dog loves to drink out of a hose! I think we scared the bunny in the bushes but he hopped away unscathed.
We highly recommend this SniffSpot! Cami S.

55We have been meaning to try emerald field and never should have waited this long. Very safe excellent fencing all the way to the ground and up high extremely private, and lots of pasture Forest and shrubs all the way around. We took a 20 lb miniature poodle and an 80 lb Golden retriever both 2 years old. They are now exhausted this was just perfect and it was beautiful. We are going to be absolute regulars here and will try their other field also. Thank you so much Janice.Constance C.

55It was a really nice yard for my dog to run around in and play fetch! There was a very small gap in the fence & under the entryway gate but my 30 lb terrier didn’t care / couldn’t fit! We had fun & will come back :)Brooke W.

Alex's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Seattle | Sniffspot
55So far it’s my favorite, it’s pretty spacious and flat. Easy tu run around with your pups and play ball. Fully fence, the gate has a small weak spot that kept me in edge because my big dog is nervous/reactive with other dogs and I was afraid that my dog would get triggered by the dog across the street. Never the less, this is my favorite place so far and help me develop trust in my dog since he didn’t mind any noises. Enrique S.

Frequently asked questions about Hornby Island dog parks
Are there dog parks in Hornby Island for reactive dogs?
Yes! Hornby Island has 20 private dog parks specifically designed for reactive, anxious, or dog-selective pets. Unlike public dog parks where unexpected encounters can trigger your reactive dog, Sniffspot offers completely private bookings. That means only you and your dogs will be there. We enforce 30-minute buffers between visits so you won't run into other park users when arriving or leaving. This makes Hornby Island Sniffspots perfect for reactive dogs who need safe off-leash exercise.
How many private dog parks are in Hornby Island?
Hornby Island has 20 private Sniffspot locations ranging from cozy backyard spaces to expansive properties spanning 5+ acres. You'll find fully fenced dog parks, small dog parks, and dog fields options, each offering complete privacy during your reserved time. Browse listings to compare sizes, amenities, fencing, and reviews from other Hornby Island dog owners.
Are Hornby Island dog parks friendly for all dog types?
Absolutely! Hornby Island Sniffspot locations work for every type of dog: puppies learning socialization, senior dogs needing gentle exercise, small dogs who feel safer away from large breeds, high-energy dogs requiring space to run, and yes, reactive or anxious dogs needing privacy. Because bookings are completely private, you can customize the experience to your dog's specific needs—whether that's careful puppy introductions or stress-free exercise for nervous dogs.
Will there be other dogs at Hornby Island dog parks?
No, that's what makes Sniffspot different from public dog parks! We only allow one booking at a time, and host dogs must be kept away during your visit. When you book a Hornby Island dog park, you have the entire space to yourself (plus any dog-owning friends you invite). This privacy is crucial for reactive dogs, puppies in training, or any dog who needs space from other animals.
What makes Hornby Island dog parks safe for anxious dogs?
Hornby Island Sniffspot locations provide controlled, predictable environments without the chaos of public dog parks. There are no aggressive dogs, no inattentive owners, and no unexpected encounters that could traumatize anxious or fearful dogs. All guests must have vaccinated dogs (or titers), and hosts maintain clean spaces. 93% of Sniffspot reviews are 5 stars, with many highlighting how safe their reactive or anxious dogs felt.
Can puppies use Hornby Island dog parks?
Absolutely! Hornby Island dog parks are ideal for puppy socialization because they provide controlled, distraction-free environments. Puppies can practice recall, build confidence, and explore without the overwhelming chaos of public dog parks. Just ensure your puppy has age-appropriate vaccinations before visiting any Hornby Island Sniffspot.
Are Hornby Island dog parks good for small dogs?
Yes! Many Hornby Island Sniffspot hosts mark their spaces as "small dog friendly," meaning they're appropriately sized for toy breeds and small dogs. Unlike public dog parks where small dogs risk being overwhelmed or injured by larger breeds, Hornby Island private bookings give your small dog the entire space to themselves. Look for secure fencing with minimal gaps and hosts who understand petite pup needs.
What are the requirements for Hornby Island dog parks?
All dogs must have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. Each Hornby Island host may have additional requirements listed on their booking page. Most welcome all breeds, sizes, and temperament levels, including reactive dogs who can't safely visit traditional public dog parks.
