55Nicole is a great host! The spot is so wonderful. Nicole did a quick initial orientation so we knew what to expect. The den was great with all the amenities. Thank you for setting up the nose work. Our dogs had a great time. We appreciate all your time in the set up. This is a great place to come and let your dogs roam and sniff. I had an opportunity to see how my Aussie would react to chickens-an evaluation time and training time. The multiple water stations, bag dispensers and disposal bin were well placed. So peaceful. Thank you Nicole. Glenda S.

55This was our first time and it went really well. My dogs enjoyed hanging out in the back wooded area, chasing sticks and just exploring. We will for sure be back! Thank you!Kristine T.

55This was just what our family needed. Not only was this place clean, peaceful, and had different areas that will appeal to your pup. It was a great family bonding time. We were really happy with the attention to detail. They have a coffee/tea area. Plenty of water areas and gnomes to find. I appreciate being a disabled veteran. There is plenty of seating throughout the area to choose from. Devine M.

55It was great! Loved that they had toys, lots of water, poop bags, and place to roam! I loved the amenities as well and thought the gift the host left was a nice sweet touch and made us feel very welcome. My pup Suki had a great time and played some ball, did some jumps, and enjoyed seeing the chickens! She likes to wander so I was able to confidently sit down and enjoy a coffee in the shade on the swinging bench while she sniffed around. Erin B.

55Very thoughtfully stocked with anything you might want during your stay! Our ACD's favorite games are hide & seek and "herd my people back together"; the lattice of forest paths worked really nicely for both games and he was delightfully worn out by the end of our hour. The fences are tall and in good condition. The inside play hut and zoomies den would be so super nice during rainy or chilly weather.Heather M.

55Very nice and clean area! My dog loved it! Yard had two separate gated areas which was great. The chicken enclosure is in the back gated area, so it was nice having a different gated area to take my dog, since she found the chickens a little too interesting! Water and toys available! Will definitely be back!Sidney P.

55With 5 small dogs this is a great place to take them and feel safe. The fencing is enough to keep them in. And there is enough space and intriguing things for them to sniff and explore.Deb H.

55Easy to get to, parking was easy. We loved how there was an indoor play area that opened up to a play field. Beyond that play field is another much larger field and woods area for the doggies to roam and play. Everything was secure, just be sure to close/secure the front gate after you park!
The host has thought of pretty much everything. Hot water and coffee/hot cocoa were available, towels, toys, doggy bags, water stations, etc!
She even left a welcoming goody bag! We will definitely be back. Honestly, we’ve been looking for a big Sniffspot that did NOT have a creek/pond. Our dogs love water, but it’s annoying having to bathe them every time. I think we found a spot that fits the bill for those “dryer” play days :) Kimmie H.

55Indie and I absolutely loved coming here! Summit Ridge is incredibly thoughtful - with both pup and human in mind. They provided signs and a message before arrival containing every detail so you knew where to go. We were greeted by a lovely welcome bag full of goodies, fresh water, clean ammenities (and even refreshments for us humans!) The attention to detail throughout the property did not go unnoticed. Signs will lead you anywhere you need to go, and there are sevral shaded areas with seating, fresh water (and bowls) as well as activities. There were cots available for use, an agility course, and plenty of seating for humans. I also love that you can be both indoors or out. I cannot say enough great things about Summit Ridge. Very friendly and accomodating. We will certainly be back!Samantha Z.

55This was our first visit here. It was wonderful! We started out at the indoor bldg because it decided to rain, lots of fun things in there, made our way to the zoomie spot which is complete with toys and then ventured out back to the huge roaming and sniffing area! We will be back for sure! Hospitality for dogs and humans was great!Renee W.

55We had a great time at Summit Ridge Canine Retreat! The host set out a cute goodie bag and the hot coffee latte was a nice touch for the cold morning. Literally thought of everything there from seating to water stations and poop bag stations. My dog enjoyed all of the sniffs and stick library! Very peaceful place and I sat on the swinging lounge drinking my hot coffee while my dog sniffed and explored. The Gnomes in the woods were cute too. My dog was very tired the whole afternoon which was my goal. We will definitely return Susie S.

FAQ about our Tacoma indoor dog parks
Are indoor dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by park users so you can find the perfect safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Since indoor dog parks are completely enclosed, this adds another level of safety for your pup.
How can I find indoor dog parks near me?
There are 3 indoor dog parks in the Tacoma area. The most popular indoor dog park is . You can browse all of our indoor dog parks here.
How do I know if an indoor dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, indoor dog parks are a good choice due to their fully enclosed nature. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our indoor dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
No. We only allow one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits. So when you book a Sniffspot park you have the entire place to yourself and your dog-owning friends if you invite them. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings so you will not run into other park patrons when coming or leaving.
Can I have an event or party at an indoor dog park?
If you are planning an amazing indoor dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
