55This is a cute spot right near “downtown” Indianola. The main space itself has a nice open space with seating. There are other areas to explore, around the chicken coop and some other paths on the property. I met the host and she is interested in providing a great experience for guests. Note: there are dogs near the spot and chickens so be aware if your dog doesn’t get along with either. Thanks for sharing!David A.

55We had a fantastic visit to Santiago's SniffSpot. His space is super secure, private, easy parking, and the space is very well arranged for maximum pup play. We will definitely see you again!

55Great spot! Quiet, clean, & comfortable; loved the sun/shaded areas, the lounge area, & the thought to put toys out. The chickens next door caught the attention of my dog, but he just watched them through the slots in the fence. Definitely would like to return! Alyssa D.

55We loved how quiet the neighborhood is. The yard was the perfect size for our two little pups to play and explore around. Very secure and the parking spot is incredibly convenient to access the gate entrance. We’ll be back for sure! Kiesha G.

55Super clean and peaceful space for your pups! Right as we arrived, Santiago set out a fresh bowl of water before we entered the yard. He drew blinds on the outside of the house so anyone inside wouldn’t be a distraction for our nosy dogs. We brought our foster dog who can be leash reactive to dogs he doesn’t know but had a blast running free and playing fetch with the huge basket of toys available to guests. There are plenty of seating options available for the humans both in the sun or the shade. The neighboring yard does have chickens roaming around but our dogs didn’t mind. We loved the space so much we came back a second time several days later! Thanks, Santiago for letting us book your wonderful space!Jessica H.

55Lovely spot! A beautiful, well kept yard with a relaxing area to sit.
One of my dogs is quite reactive and he was able to hear and see through the fence enough to know when other dogs on a walk were nearby. Paige T.

55We have visited this spot 3 times and we love it! It’s spacious with clear visibility and has great amenities… chairs to sit in, toys for our pup, a water bowl and hose for refilling, poop bags are provided and so is a small trash can. Fun place that we’ll definitely be back to. Magdalen N.

55Great spot in Seattle. The yard is spacious, sun and shade. The gate and parking couldn’t be any easier. I was there on a weekday, but it was very quiet. Not many people or dogs walking by. Will definitely book again!Katy K.

55Great yard! Cute little seating area if it’s sunny, and not muddy when it’s wet outside. One thing to note is that the stairs to the deck aren’t blocked at all, so if you have dogs who want to explore everything you’ll want to be able to call them back down. Annabelle H.

55This was our first sniff spot after being fed up with dog park goers choosing to bring non-friendly dogs into the parks. One of my dogs was bitten last week, needing sutures in his ear. This was a breath of fresh air, with a nice, large, quiet yard to ourselves - toys and water included!Meghan G.

55I am very glad this Sniff Spot popped up in the neighborhood. This is a very nice size yard for Ballard and the yard is very clean with minimal obstacles. There is a nice running lane on the east side of the yard where the fence wraps around the house a little more to give your dog a chance to pick up some speed during fetch. My dog Pearl had a great time running around for an hour as evidenced by her falling fast asleep after eating dinner when we got home (that doesn't happen very often!) Even though the host Matt has two dogs we did not see any "evidence" of them in the yard. Thanks Matt for hosting and welcome to Sniffspot. We look forward to visiting again!John F.

55Soba had a great time playing with Lulu at Rebecca's sniff spot! Lulu is a high energy, but super friendly pup - a great workout partner for Soba. This backyard is large for Ballard, it's almost two lots. It's grassy and open with some trees and other plants for pups to check out. Soba and Lulu did run around the side of the house a couple times because it's not fenced on the side of the house, so if your dog tends to run away be aware of that. Soba also was interested in one of the free range cats, but the cat was much less interested in meeting Soba!David A.

55Our two doggos had a wonderful time at Rebecca's Ballard Puptopia :) We have 2 rescue dogs and it is nice to find some space for them to run and sniff around with out the anxiety that dog parks can sometimes bring them. They have a sweet doggy named Lulu who is super friendly and loves to run around and play if your dog is up for it! If your dogs are nervous with other dogs, they are happy to accommodate your needs so that your pups can have the yard to themselves. We were accompanied with great conversation while the pups ran and sniffed around and Rebecca even provided some yummy treats for the pups, which was an awesome plus! We will definitely bring our 2 girls back to this sniff spot and recommend to anyone in the area, whether your dogs aren’t crazy about dog parks and want their own space or one who just wants to run around with new fur friends!Rachelle H.

55Kuiper is currently passed out at home so must have had a good time playing here! I thought it was a nice size - big enough for her to run around but not so big that she could get out of sight and into trouble.
I moved some of the toys outside the yard because I didn’t want her shredding them, but she was so interested that she nearly squeezed through the fence trying to get them back! So be careful if you’ve got a small to medium sized dog. Erica G.

FAQ about our Indianola dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
