Barnyard Bounce

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Secure 5' woven wire fencing surrounds this quiet 1/2‑acre pasture. It's great for playing fetch, playing/sniffing/running around, recall work, or structured training sessions. No animals border the fence, and distractions are minimal aside from the occasional passerby. The space is open, calm, and safe for dogs who need room and predictability. You’ll find a dog water station inside the gate. At your bench/chairs you'll find clean water bowls, poop bags, and a disposal bucket. We have reserved a parking spot for you with a sign. If you're with friends we can accommodate another car. Peaceful, private, and ideal for dogs to work or unwind with confidence. Since you're using SniffSpot you must be the kind of person who prioritizes the health and well-being of your dog/s. I appreciate you!

Camp Dilly Dally Doggie Park In Buckley

Partially Fenced
5 acres

We offer five acres of partially mowed fields and a natural wooded area. There is a small spring-fed pond and access to South Prairie Creek. Since the creek has a variable current, it may be best for larger dogs. The pond is ideal for smaller dogs who aren't strong swimmers. There are some logs and rocks to step over so sturdy shoes are recommended. We make a constant effort to subdue the blackberries but you may encounter strong-willed vines. Please avoid the dead tree area. There is a shed with supplies where you park.

Gina's 24 Acre Private Dog Park

Partially Fenced
24 acres

Von Zarhoff K9 is located on 25 acres in Bonney Lake. We have been breeding German Shepherd dogs and Training for the last 35 years. Dogs and livestock have been a huge part of our lives. We'd like to share the enjoyment we've had with our dogs on the trails & training areas. As well as the designated run & play area. For your first scheduled time please pull up to the gate with the yellow horse, Xing sign on it & text me upon arrival. I can then go over everything with you and show you the designated areas & where the long lines, toys, etc., are. My name is Gina and my cell is 206-226-3231.

The Pups Playground at KCC

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

A nice half acre corner of our 10 acres set aside for our puppy friends! We have included everything we know our puppy friends love to play with. There is a large piece of playground equipment for fun times, multi-level platforms with two ramps and a tunnel. We have miscellaneous moveable agility equipment available as well as water park stuff like splash pads and kiddie pools. And if that's not enough we also have a Nerf ball launcher as well as a chuckit. There is a dog Hotel on site. But the yards cannot see each other generally. We also have some horses here and we have neighbors who have cows. So there's lots of interesting things to look at here. Right down the road is an adorable town of Wilkinson. There are two restaurants in town that are really fun to order from. While here you can order from Carlson block Pizza, who got Top Knots in the county as being one of the best pizza places. Or check out the Simple Goodness Sisters Deli. They have amazing craft and mock cocktails available along with panini sandwiches and a variety of other things. Stop by and bring them with you so that you can snack and play with your pup or order while you're here and pick them up on your way home so that you have dinner in the car.

KFF's 1/2 Acre Private Dog Park In Buckley

Partially Fenced
0.5 acres

Enjoy a peaceful ½-acre dog arena with regularly mowed grass, gentle rolling terrain, and a smooth 1% grade for drainage. Afternoon and early evening shade is provided by the adjacent barn, with shelter available inside if needed. Fresh water is available by hose and bucket, along with a sink with hot water and soap for handwashing and a garbage receptacle. Some agility equipment is available, and patches of tall grass offer great snuffling opportunities. Guests also have access to a pond and the Foothills Recreation Trail. Conveniently located just ¼ mile from SR 410 and Mundy Loss Road in Buckley, WA, the property offers off-street parking, a quiet dead-end gravel road, and a relaxing rural setting for dogs and their people. We primarily offer horse boarding and now offer dog enthusiasts to come explore the farm!
