55I loved this sniffspot! Mix of different terrains and no shortage of spots for my pup to explore. Definitely think it’s a bit more treacherous than some other spots, so some things worth noting: not all of the fencing feels entirely secure, the water doesn’t look like water you’d want your dog to jump in (in case you have a pup who can’t resist, I might avoid this spot), and there’s a good amount of sticker bushes and hard to navigate hilly woods area.

55Our dogs loved this Sniffspot! A bit muddy when you first enter so follow their instructions to wear boots/shoes that can get dirty. A very cute cow was visible when you enter as well. It has a really large open area and some wooded area - our 2 pups had a blast exploring and playing fetch! Harmony L.

55A fabulous Sniffspot! We have added this to our list of favorites. The description is very accurate - the property consists of a number of interconnected horse pastures and the outer rim of the property is entirely fenced. The description indicates the fencing is 4 feet high but it appeared to me that most or all of it was closer to 5 feet. The entire property is very well manicured and very walkable, although there is one hilly pasture which would be great for wearing out a ball obsessed dog. Speaking of which, Labradors (and other water obsessed dogs) will adore this Sniffspot. It has two ponds - large enough to swim in and play the ever popular fetch. There are also a couple docks that would allow for any dock diving dogs to have a blast. We visited on a rainy day, but in the dry, warm weather the the ponds’ “beach front” areas will be a strong attraction for humans too as they can lounge in the provided Adirondack chairs. There is one additional water feature - a creek - at the back of the property too. Overall, it is a beautiful park like setting and my dog ran back and forth and all around the whole time we were there.
Laurie was a warm, welcoming host too. I received a message from her immediately upon making the reservation and I learned she has a reactive dog too. This made me feel comfortable from the start as she understands well the need for a private, secure place for reactive dogs. She kept hers inside and crated during our visit and we never even heard any barking. In addition, she has horses but keeps them securely in the barn during Sniffspot visits.
Overall, we had a blast and plan to come back often. Highly recommended for reactive dogs and all others. Thanks Laurie for sharing this property with the Sniffspot community!Bonnie B.

55All I can add to the earlier, accurate reviews is that this Sniffspot is heavenly! Our dogs had a fabulous time, pretending to be racehorses on the lovely pasture land and around the fences. The hounds don't care for water, but had great fun checking out the rushes at the shore. Great host, super communication, and a lovely Sniffspot. Thank you Laurie!Susan A.

55Best Sniffspot we've been to! It's so beautiful and pristine. Our dogs loved swimming in the 2 ponds on the property, and we loved being there to watch them romp and play.
Horseback riders are nearby, so we diverted the dogs' attention, and two big loose dogs came barking at the owner's gate, but our dogs were non-reactive, so there was no drama.
We can't wait to go back! Deborah P.

55Laurie's property is absolutely beautiful and she is a wonderful host! My dog was in heaven tearing around the pastures, jumping into the pond, and exploring all of the smells - pure doggie joy! The property is enclosed just as described and is very safe and peaceful. Thank you for providing such an amazing spot and for making my dog's whole week! We will definitely be back!Sarah K.

55This is our new favorite Sniff Spot! The young dogs raced around the pastures while the old guy walked sedately with the people. It's a beautiful spot with lots of room for the dogs to explore. Like the host says, there are gaps in the gates where dogs could get out, but the perimeter of the property is otherwise very secure. My dogs were too busy exploring the smells, ponds and mud puddles to bother with the gates. It was wonderful to see their happy faces while they raced around. We'll be back. A lot.Victoria M.

55This was our 1st Sniffspot visit and I am afraid we are spoiled for all others. This gigantic playland for dogs is well fenced as my dog can attest to. She roamed every inch of what I believe is 10 acres. I have never seen her run and play as much as I saw her today. She is now asleep in front of the fireplace totally exhausted from a wonderful day. Laurie is a kind person who provided me all the information I needed to make this a safe, fun visit for me and my dog

55Laurie’s property was fantastic. I felt so at ease knowing my dog could romp around freely while being securely fenced in. I thought booking for an 1.5hr would be too much time, but it really flew by! My one tip would be to make sure you bring high value treats with you to make sure you can get your dog to leave when it’s time! Eleanor P.

FAQ about our Yakima 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.
