Welcome! We have two gates entering the property! Please do your best to use the western entrance (the gate on the RIGHT) while turning off Brunner Road and facing the property. The gate on the left is automatic, and if I notice your arrival, I will open the gate for you within minutes, otherwise, please safely drive to the correct gate. There are three fields! The first field is the property you will enter from the busy main road. This is field one. I may or may not have “blocks” on this field for gardening or exploration with friends and family, so if your dogs are unbothered by people (me gardening), please message me and I will open the space for you to reserve your time if you can safely manage your pups in field one (please read all descriptions), or if you would like to utilize the other fields and don’t mind saying hello in passing while you enter field two (to field three, etc.) Please read ALL descriptions (including photos) before entering the property. Failure to do so will result in being blocked, as this is to keep you, your dogs, and my dogs safe :)! I know it’s a lot, but once you read everything, the 100’s of previous guests have proved that there will be zero issues, and I am here to help! Message me any and all questions :)! Return the toys and balls to where you found them, to the best of your ability. 5 acres is a lot of ground to cover, so please do your best to pick up your dog poop and return the balls. This is not always possible with such a large space, but after five or six visits I will certainly notice if the turds pile up and the balls all go missing- just do your best and don’t worry if you lose a few balls, just let me know! Please return what you use as you find it :)! Do not knock on my doors unless it is an emergency (and please do so if there is an emergency). My personal cell is available for emergencies only, and again, please ask if it is an emergency. If THERE IS an emergency, I will assist to the best of my ability. I offer a pet first aid kit (bleed stop, staple gun, antimicrobrial wound spray, etc) with phone numbers and addresses on hand of local emergency vets (you won’t need these, but I have them just incase!) because we live by a busy road (read all descriptions), and there are coyotes in the early mornings and late evenings every so often. I spend early mornings and evenings outside most everyday, and can hear yelling (from past Sniffspot users) to know when something is not going right during your visit. I will alert you to coyote activity, and intervene if I hear yelling lol (it’s happened a couple of times, please read reviews). It’s a great spot, and all of this information is to help you make the best first experience for you and your pup(s), for hopefully many more fun adventures together on the property. Thank you! We have 3 separate fields. Black berry bushes are very present in all fields and not sprayed, so feel free to snack when they are out! FIELD 1: Closest to busy road, least suitable for free-roam incase of delivery or neighbor utilizing third gate on our easement. I consider this field “the buffer zone”. Best suited for dogs with proper recall skills, best to have pups leashed until you enter field 2 otherwise. Feel free to roam on-leash for extra smells! ORANGE/PINK flags indicate boundaries as a buffer to prevent trespassing onto neighboring property back into the woods. Do not go beyond the motorhome. There are times when I have to leave or enter the property (field one), or deliveries may be made, so it’s always best to have dogs leashed in field one. I always give a heads up if we will be entering or exiting the property during your visit. Water access is in field 1 by the house, and please turn off water when finished refreshing for yourself. Our dogs will be heard from this field (from inside of the house). You will find the 2nd gate entrance here, into field 2. Look for the black garbage can, as well as blue kiddy pool to navigate to field 2 (by the logs 🪵). FIELD 2: the best field! Our backyard. It is completely fenced in, private, and safe for dogs 15lbs and up- smaller dogs such as our 9lb dog need to wear a device (to recall) or a large harness of sorts because fencing is large enough for them to escape through. The fencing is approximately 3’ high, 3”x4” holes, typical cattle fencing. Horses can be seen from this field on neighbor’s property at times, along with their dog, Cooper, who will come right up to the fence line. He is friendly and sweet, but be aware incase yours is reactive. This field is sloped, which is excellent for exercise! There are trees blocking our house and windows for privacy (great because of our noisy dogs) and has easy gate access, as well as accessible water. There is a nice view of Mt. Hood on the log benches, with a couple of log benches scattered around the property, a few in the lower portion of the field 3 under the trees. I try my best to maintain and refresh a kiddy pool and the water bowl, but please help yourself. Field 3: I strongly recommend against use of field 3 during foggy periods for safety of your pets. Should a dog without proper recall training decide to wander off in field 3, you will have a LOT of ground to cover without much sight distance (on foggy days). Field 3 continued: This is an excellent field for dogs with solid recall skills. Through the first two fields, is field 3, a property long and flat, one which openly borders our neighbor’s property. You must go through the gate at the bottom of field 2 to enter this field. While this field is technically entirely fenced, the fencing on the adjacent property has one fault where a tree fell down on it. The entire field is not all ours, so we have marked boundaries using orange/pink flags, and “Do not enter” signs. Please reference photos for what these orange boundary flags look like. The orange flags indicate hazards along fence line, entrance to bee hives (marked by “Do Not Enter” signs, and boundaries between properties. Close each gate behind you. Field three is wooded, so please note that dogs with excellent recall skills may forget them with all of the scents ruminating from this area. This wooded area wraps up and around to field one if you find you have lost your pup, but is on someone else’s property. If I hear you yelling for your pup, I’ll probably come ask if you need help. Field three borders our neighbors property and you will be technically trespassing should you pass the boundary flags. Cautions: A coyote frequents this lower field (field 3) on a semi-regular basis, typically in the early mornings and late evenings, so large dogs with proper recall training are advised only. I strongly recommend against use of this field during foggy periods for safety of your pets. Should a dog without proper recall training decide to wander off, it will not be fun trying to find them. This field (field 3) is a split property (2 parcels), half ours, half the neighbor’s. Please be mindful of maintaining general boundaries (see photos of orange/pink flags designating boundary lines). It’s quite rugged, so be there could be wild animal scat, mole holes, and uneven grass. There is a digging area here too. I have seen coyotes, skunks, deer, owls, a feral cat, and bunnies in this field. Horses and neighbor dog cooper are sometimes visible. Don’t be intimidated, unless your dog has poor recall skills. Please contact me with any questions!
