55This was our first time to this Sniffspot. It was easy to find.
Brett, the host, met us as we drove up. We were told we could go anywhere we wanted.
This Sniffspot isn't fenced, but it is far from roads or neighbors so I wasn't worried about the dogs running into trouble.
There's a large open area of grass surrounded by forest. We explored the trails that had overgrown a bit, but had no problems getting through. The host will be clearing the trails that runs all the way round the property. There's a small pond that the dogs were able to swim and cool off in. The host said that the pond has drainage coming and going, so there is water movement.
After our run, the Brett had some fresh water for the dogs.
We'll definitely be back!Jennifer M.

55What a wonderful spot! It not being fenced wasn’t an issue as my dog was only interested in two things: his ball and the pond. There’s an large, nicely mowed open field that was great for some fetch. There were some wooded areas surrounding that had clearly marked trails, great for exploring and getting sniffs in. My dog’s favorite part was the pond though. It wasn’t deep enough for him to swim, but he had a great time jumping in and wading.
The property is a bit secluded, didn’t see any other people or dogs around. Great spot that got my dog really tired!Cassandra C.

Lots of room to run and play in Lake Stevens | Sniffspot
55This place is great! The directions were clear and the owner greeted us at our car. The fenced in area is grassy, hilly and little overgrown in places and my dogs LOVED it. They had a blast running and exploring! If you like to walk while the dogs play, it is mowed down around the perimeter and middle. There is also plenty of sticks and a water bowl for the pups.
When I first looked at pictures of this place I was concerned about the fence strength. However, the wire fencing is very secure and all the gates have padlocks on them. Unless your dog is motivated to jump 5 feet, you’ll be totally fine.
The duck pen is several feet away from the area you go in so you don’t have to worry about dogs with prey drive. However it is visible inside the gated area until you guide the dogs away. My dogs thought the ducks were very interesting and the ducks had no fear of dogs!
One of my dogs is incredibly reactive and I understand how nerving new places can be for reactive dogs and their owners so I just wanted to note that she did great and we never saw the resident dogs.
Overall, we will be back and highly recommend this sniff spot! Linsey T.

55The yard was great. It was exactly what I expected and Moose got lots of fetching in. Brenda was super accommodating. She contacted me the day of the visit to let me know the rain had made her yard very wet and gave many options to reschedule or refund. We arrived later than expected because I didn’t correctly estimate time for driving and Brenda offered for stay after my booked time! I really appreciate Brenda’s flexibility and communication and for letting us use her space! Amy B.

55Good sized yard. Lots of amenities (poop bags, treats, hand sanitizer, water dishes, toys, chairs and table with umbrella). I worried that my wolfhounds would be interested in the chickens. I don’t think the dogs even realized they were there. Good visit. Great Sniffspot!Beverly S.

55This is a simply DIVINE Sniff Spot for Bruno, my 4-month-old chocolate lab, and I. The yard is well maintained, with water bowls and toys and even 4 enclosed, very cool chickens! Host Brenda offers a comfy meet-n-greet sitting area where you'll find tons of treats and cool shade for the warmer days. Ms. Brenda also offers many years of knowledge, experience, and skills regarding puppy dogs, and her continual support and encouragement with self and Bruno has been invaluable!

55Wonderful Sniffspot! Fenner had so much fun! Great size yard for zoomies. Lots of fun toys to play with too! Even had a water mister set up for us! Fenner was a bit too interested in the chickens and did more barking than I liked, but we are working on that. He just wished he could play with them. Lol
Definitely recommend this spot! Brianne and Kevin W.

55As stated in the description the area is unfenced, however it was so stimulating for our dogs that they never went far from us. There is a flat area behind the house, but we enjoyed the forested area surrounding the large pond/marsh. We used it for truffle hunting training and played some back and forth recall. Our dogs loved sniffing around the wooded area. Do wear higher waterproof boots though as there are marsh-like conditions in to access the trees area. Lindy L.

55The two pups had a BLAST! This was a great wooded / swampy area to play around. Neither of my dogs are "water dogs", but they still had a great time getting their toes muddy. Bring towels!!! I wish we had brought better footwear because apparently their property extends way back. So we're excited to visit again as it starts to dry up. Jillian M.

55My old lady had a great time running around this property. We can't go to dog parks because of her sassy attitude and this was great knowing she was the only dog in sight! The other reviews mentioned it was muddy so I brought my rain boots and they worked great. This was our first time using sniffspot and I'm glad we found this gem!Alaina S.

55As advertised! I was fortunate to read the directions and reviews carefully - past the main field area, it is quite marshy/muddy, so I was glad to have some hiking boots in the truck. We mostly stayed in the entry field and immediately around the pond, but the area is quite big and a good sized adventure spot for bigger running dogs (which my smaller, tripawd is not). On any other day I may have missed the turn into the home though it is very obvious and off the main road, but there is street paving nearby and was stopped by a flagger. The homeowner was outside working on projects and super friendly. I'll definitely be back as it's a pretty good area relatively close to me.Caressa B.

55Marissa has a great, clean fully fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood in Lake Stevens. The yard is big enough for a game of fetch and has great grass to explore. Since Marissa has a small dog, the yard is full of dog smells for your pup to explore - Soba loved exploring it. Marissa is very nice, she was there when I arrived. Make sure to let her know if you need privacy for your pup, since, as she says in her profile, she is often around the house.David A.

FAQ about our Lake Stevens 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.
