55The woods change completely in the fall! Ponds and rivers appear that explain the presence of bridges. Today we were pleasantly surprised by a little bit of snow on the ground. My dogs and I love this place so much!Claudia E.

55Took a current shelter dog for a decompression freedom run, the location layout ensured was no issue with him escaping or potential reactivity triggers. Wide-open run space in field and forest = goal accomplished. I will be bringing more dogs from the shelter for this essential real-life experience to improve their adoptabilty. Karl K.

55I highly recommend this Sniffspot. Barb is absolutely lovely & has created an awesome space for you & your pup. There are all the supplies you could need - balls, water for humans & pups, well-maintained trails, multiple shelters, #2 bags & bins, & a great big pasture to run & play. And the entire area is fully fenced. We had so much fun letting our pup "dog" & could work on off-leash training in a completely safe space. We will definitely go again. Thanks Barb!Heather B.

55Took Tetsu, a shelter dog who spends so much time in his kennel, waiting to be adopted. It was incredible to see him racing freely along the trails
and exploring the woods and field. Twenty fenced acres! Well maintained. Tetsu and I both loved it.Judy F.

55Barb has created an off-leash wonderland for dogs that was an absolute joy to visit. We were so compelled by the reviews that we traveled across the border from Vancouver, Canada, in order to experience her "Peaceful Mini-Retreat," which was everything we had hoped it would be. Our two leash-reactive Spoodles were in heaven exploring the expansive fields as well as the gorgeous wooded area. As for us, knowing that they were perfectly safe and wouldn't encounter other dogs, which is typically challenging, was so relieving. It was a calming outing for everyone's nervous systems! Julie K.

55I was concerned about how much mud there would be this time. Barb told me where I could rinse off my dog with a hose if I wanted to. But she had done such a great job of providing ways to walk above the mud throughout the walk that I didn't need it! Just a little rinse before I put him in the car.Tani B.

55This place is amazing!! It has tons of space to run around, with an open field for the dogs that like to fetch. The real gem is the woods that’s fully fenced! Feels like a private little hike. Poop bags available in multiple spots and drinking water. Barb is super helpful and passionate about sharing her incredible space with the community. Already planning on coming again! Brooks J.

55I've been visiting this Sniffspot with my dog since 2021 and it's probably my favorite one. The property is gorgeous and well-maintained, the host is approachable and communicative, and it's a lovely place to spend an hour wandering through the woods or throwing a ball for a friend. My dog is always excited to be here. Meghan B.

55Another visit with another shelter dog needing de-compression as he waits for his forever guardian. He was over the moon - ran & ran & ran, hit about 10 of the 20 fenced acres, huge circles in the field. Although good recall, he seldom checks-in so he was out of sight about 80% of the time. I was confident of the fencing so it gave both dog and human exactly what was needed. Built trust, practiced recall, got my unconditional love for this day.Karl K.

FAQ about our Vancouver 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.
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.
