55Large open space with wonderful views. We had lots of fun. This was our first experience with sniffspots and we loved the casual atmosphere and all dog focused. Easy parking and accessibility. We just wanted to free roam on these visits and this would also be a great place to train and test skills. Thanks so much!Jane M.

55I wasn't sure if my dogs would stay occupied in a fenced, mowed field for an hour. But they loved crittering and would have stayed all day if I let them. Also grateful for the trash can for dog waste.Aly H.

55Exactly as advertised! We appreciated the toys at the entrance and the mowed walking path. My pup LOVED running through the tall grass and lounging in the shade! Highly recommend bringing water and wearing boots, if you plan to walk around with your dog. Kaitlyn M.

55Secure fencing, lots of balls and frisbees to use. Owners dog barked a bit when we first got there but quieted down fairly quickly. No issues at all. Grass was mowed but you might want boots. Bring your own water. Trash can was available too. My dogs had fun running in the field and sniffing in the long grass under the tree. Joann H.

55We LOVE this great space! We have been coming here once or twice a week since moving into Bellingham-recently moving from the county where our dog had room to run. This is a wonderful space for ball chasing in the open enclosed field and then cooling off on a walk afterwards through the farm on a leash and shaded by western trees. This has become our dogs Happy Place.Amy F.

55Our first visit to a sniff spot. It took a whike for my girtl to get the idea she was free & could run. We has a small back yard where we lived before so this was new for her. She finally got the idea & had fun. It is well maintained, very secure ...water & toys available. Poop bags if you forget yours & a garbage just outside the fenced in area. Cloudy day & cool but nice just the same. Thank you for a great first experience! We will be back! ❤🐾🐾❤Helen May R.

55What a great close in space for us and our dog that needs some decompressing sniff time! It's so great to have a covered area with comfy seats in this season of rain/cold. We will happily return! Ashley M.

55My first time using SniffSpot was a lovely experience! Nice & shady yard w/plenty of toys and water. What a lifesaver for those of us whose pups aren't ready for a dog park. 😅 Thank you so much! Katie M.

FAQ about our Vernon 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.
