55We had a great time at the Boring Barking Lot. The space has a great mix of sun and shade with lots of room to play ball. I really appreciated the access to running water and a trash can. Lee C.

55Such a cool spot, it’s our new favorite. 🐾 There is a ton of room to roam under the trees and lots of grassy areas too. The entire spot is so well fenced and the entire area was very well maintained. We loved sitting under the canopy to relax while our six dogs roamed. The spot is large but there really isn’t any areas where you won’t be able to see your pup, unless they are hiding behind a tree. The owner of the sniffspot was very accommodating and sweet, she offered an extra half an hour because the spot wasn’t booked for that time. Amber M.

55A great place to visit and with the drive from Vancouver! Large grassy field for fetch and the forested area was a great adventure. Lots of toys and great sticks for fetch. Picnic table (covered) so rain or shine this is a must visit. We will be back! Jenny G.

55We have been here twice now. Both times were mid-morning visits. There is a pond with a fountain nearby so you can hear the running water which is relaxing. You get a little of everything here. Forest (lots of shade), a nice grass run, dirt to dig, a kiddie pool to cool off in and all the basic perks as well: poo bags, hand sanitizer, water, toys and a shaded picnic table. I really like the convenience of being able to drive into the spot and let the dogs out of the car too. Additionally, Theresa is great. My 8 month old pup got herself into a little trouble during our first visit. I let Theresa know and she was super receptive and went out of her way to make sure the spot was puppy proof and safe for the next time. This spot is on our "favorites" list.Aileen G.

55This is a fantastic spot! It’s nice and quiet with lots of trees to sniff and open space to run/zoom. There are even a few jumps and weave polls to work some obedience and agility. The spot was very clean with a nice shaded picnic table area for the humans. We saw a couple dogs through the fence when we were at the very furthest point from the entrance, but nothing bothersome at all. This spot is a gem and we can’t wait to visit again!Bree W.

55Bella and I had a lovely time playing at your Sniff Spot! While the neighbors Great Pyrenees came out barking they weren’t a bother to my dog! The property is beautiful and was a great opportunity to practice being off leash in a larger space. Also an excellent place to visit on hot days because there is so much shade! Bella loved running around the wooded area sniffing away. She even rescued a ball from the woods, lol! We will definitely be back! Sarah G.

55This is a really great Sniffspot. Half open field, half forested area provides a lot of different enrichment opportunities. We loved the added benefit of the agility items and the covered table. Kailyn L.

55This was my first time using Sniffspot and I can't say enough good things about this spot. There's lots of room to run around, but it still feels very secure. There's a tent with a bench and some toys, cleaning materials, and plenty of water. Also a cute little pool and a hose! My dog can be a little anxious, and the spot felt very secluded and safe. It's also really peaceful; I could hear the trees gently swaying and a creek nearby. Theresa is really kind and has done such a wonderful job with this spot. We truly can't wait to come back!

55This is a great spot with both an open area and lots off wooded area too. I love being able to pull into the spot and close the gate behind. Great amenities and a nice covered area to hang out under. Five paw rating! Patrick L.

55Great spot with lots of room to run. Our dogs are reactive but friendly. We did meet Theresa and her dogs. They had a good fence run and then she took them inside. Very accommodating, I'm sure if you have reactive dogs and emailed ahead she would keep them inside. We did see the neighbors dogs at first (shares about 10 ft of fence) but then didn't see them the rest of the time. That is upper far corner from the entrance. Our dogs had a blast and got lots of energy out. Kiddie pool and drinking water, lots of shade or sun. We will be back! Thanks for sharing your property! Jenae H.

55Beautiful spot with flat grassy area perfect for playing fetch and a nice wooded area for exploring. Plenty of water, toys, poop bags and shaded table to sit and relax. Our pup loved it and we will definitely be back! Alicia F.

55It was my first time attending a sniff spot and I have to say that I truly loved it here! My one year shepherd mix isn’t good with her recall and is always on a leash so it felt great to finally let her be off leash without worrying about her running off. I love that it is very clean and with no gaps in the fence. We’ll be coming here often since it’s near our apartments. 🐕❤️✨Reyna L.
