55Our 3rd visit and I’m so grateful to have this space for my “apartment” dog. I can sit and read while she gets to safely explore and play OFF LEASH. In a fun environment we can practice retrieving, come, check-in, etc. Julia C.

55It’s very obvious that the hosts put a lot of thought into the specifics needed to set this SniffSpot apart from the rest. The location was the first amazing feature in my book. I was so happy to learn a place opened in Mead since it would save me the 40 minute car ride one way to the locations I’d visited in the past.
Secondly, aside from the toys commonly found at SniffSpots (ball launchers, frisbees) they included non traditional ones as well including a GIANT red ball that, although my dogs could care less about it, I’m sure others would love. The rally course was a great addition as well.
The portable misting fan, as well as the pressure activated cooling mat (located in the doggie first aid kit) to place on the dog cot, really sealed the deal for me though, as my chocolate lab rarely knows when to stop and pushed herself a bit too hard. This will be the only spot I visit from now on and I can happily say they’ve gotten a customer for life. ❤️Tracy B.

55Well marked, easy to find parking spot and entrance. AMAZING set up for the dogs; so many fun toys, obstacles, and cute shade spots all around the property. Great table and chairs for the humans with ability to watch the pups from that vantage point. It was a great evening romp at Steph and Warren's sniff spot!Julie M.

55This place is amazing. It has everything and then some. I mean, even at the entrance you know you're in a good place. Very clear signs to get you to the right place. There's toys, two pools, agility course, and space, lots and lots of space. It's a great place not just for the dogs to enjoy, but humans as well. You can clearly tell, the hosts care. Ezequiel R.

55Your dog(s) will love it here! There is so much space to play and sniff. The thoughtfulness! No matter what your dog likes (run, fetch, wrestle, agility equipment, swim, play with toys, etc.) they’ll find something they love to do. There are shaded resting spots for you and even a cute photo op with every visit. We’ll be back.Tyree I.

55Best grass and games around! Knox's giant smile rolling in the grass was one of my favorite moments. Absolutely LOVE the collieball... what a special treat. We got so many laps in around the field and ran the most agility course rounds yet. Most fun day ever in this puppy paradise ♡♡♡Nichole T.

55This spot has everything we could ever need! Toys, places in the shade to sit, pools, games, and so much space! It was safe, clean, and so well-organized. We had a couple small dogs and a few bigger dogs for one of our dog’s birthdays. He turned 1 and had such a blast! All the dogs enjoyed something different. Our big dog loved the big red ball while the others enjoyed the pools or just running around and smelling everything. Our well trained dog loved the obstacles too! Thank you for creating such an amazing place for all our family dogs!! Mersi S.

FAQ about our Rathdrum 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.
