55This is an awesome little hike with a good uphill to get you started! Take your time going up and there is a nice bench with water for your pup on the way up to take a breath and take in the scenery. On top you can enjoy multiple little loop trails with great views (even better on a not smokey day). Wear good hiking shoes and watch your step in some places where there is stubble from cut brush. There are more benches (water, poop bags and garbage cans). Bring a snack along for a picnic and enjoy the views. There are spots wide enough for a ball or frisbee but this is not fenced so a long line might be a good idea and good practice too. So...go climb a hill and conquer those views. Karen J.

55We enjoyed our first visit to this Sniffspot.
Lovely spot for the dogs to roam and I imagine with all the trees would be a nice cool spot on a hot day.
Will visit again!Kate O.

55Loved the property. Steep hill to get to large clearing/flat area. There is a bench to sit on and two picnic tables. Plenty of space for everyone. Part of he property slopes into a very high hill on one side. Trails allow dogs to run up and explore. There is a water facet and dog dish at the top left side of the hill in the back. There is also a chicken coop at the top middle of the property but it’s on the other side of a safety fence. One of our dogs ran all around the trails the whole hour we were there. The two others played in the clearing. Great property to exercise your dogs. We’ll be back!Kim S.

55Thanks for the afternoon zooms and sniffs. We have a beagle mix who doesn't have strong recall and has been know to follow this nose over all else. It was great to see him run full speed and explore with the security of the high fenced in area. Would love to come back again. Lindsey C.

55Our dogs love this spot. They get a lot of exercise running up and down the hills. Be aware that there is a chicken coup. Our husky couldn't get to it, but she would've like to try. Stephanie S.

55Wow! This was the BEST spot. It was easy to find and the parking area was clearly marked and right across from the entrance. It was super quiet and peaceful. My dogs had so much fun running along the trails and up and down the hills. There was a hose to fill up your water, picnic tables and plenty of shade. My dogs like to chase animals and we had no issues with the chicken coop and it was super secure. We will be back and feel so lucky to have had this time there!Kelli S.

55Great place to let my dog run and not worry about if she will take off. Secure fence and great trails to hike for her and me. Coco loved watching the chickens and horses. Will definitely be back!!Wendy P.

55Fantastic spot. Easy parking and clear instructions. My dog loved sniffing around and hunting furry rodents hiding in the brush. There are some chickens at the top of the hill but my pup barely noticed them. Danielle D.

55Great spot - we went during the heatwave. There were enough shady spots to give the dogs ample space to roam, there’s a water faucet up at the top of a second hill near the fence line. Definitely dry and dusty given the heat so plan for that! But it was a nice spot for the dogs to romp and play. Sudha N.

55Amazing place, i was here last year when I only had one dog but waited until the second one was old enough to come back. My dogs had a blast. We arrived an hour late due to construction, and traffic. I reached out to the owner she offered to block the time I arrive so others won’t book the time we arrive. She made sure we didn’t lose the time we booked and I even offer to pay for the extra 30 minutes but she wanted us to use the time we already paid for. Owner is very kind and communicative! We will be back, the place was big enough for my dog to sniff and roam around for an hour! tina n.

55Terrific space for running and sniffing. Lots of trees, paths, and hill terrain to check out. Will come back next time I have a foster pup for her to run with - this would be a nice location for chase games. Rosie had a great time! Polly O.

55My dogs had a great run and sniffathon at Shamba Horse Farm. They started running laps around the perimeter on their own which was pretty funny. It was thoroughly fenced and the chickens were well enclosed. We bought some fresh eggs on our way out.
I got 30 stair steps too in according to my watch, so we all benefited. We'll definitely be back!Gillian E.

FAQ about our Potlatch dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
How can I find dog fields in Potlatch?
There are 5 dog fields in the Potlatch area. The most popular dog field is Dawn to Dusk Doggy Domain. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Potlatch area range from $5.0 and $5.0. The least expensive dog field is Dawn to Dusk Doggy Domain. The most expensive dog field is Dawn to Dusk Doggy Domain. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
