55My older Cairn Terrier loved his visit. The zoom area is huge and he wandered around loving all the sniffing spots. His mobility issues were no problem for the soft grass and flat area. We decided to extend the visit for him and wandered into the back area. By this time my dog was getting tired but that didn’t stop him from wandering around the whole area. He got to see a horse in field next to us and chickens. He didn’t seem to care and just kept waddling around. The back area has a sort of trail and a variety of mounds and trees to wander around to sniff. Pictures shared on app page.
55A lot of fun!! This is the first one my boy dog have been to and he loved it!! He just kept wanting to go in the front yard so we moved him to the zoomie area and he still had a lot of fun!!
55What a great spot. I love that there is an indoor space to shield us from the PNW weather when needed. It’s a convenient stop if travelling between Portland and Seattle.
45Cute spot, easy to find, instructions were very clear. Lots of amenities with seating, dog toys, and water. Dogs enjoyed sniffing the trails.
55Brought my hound who hasn't been here in awhile. We enjoyed the beautiful Fall weather and wandering the trails!
55My dog and I had an overall wonderful experience visiting Summit Ridge Canine Retreat. We loved the ample space available for walking and running, as well as the variety of enrichment activities on the property. Having multiple water stations, toys, seating areas for owners, and lounge stands for the dogs made the visit comfortable and enjoyable for both of us.
55Me n my dog winter have fun in a windy afternoon, he still curious about the horses. I think he started to love them 🥰.
55We meet the neighbors two dogs they’re behave! pretty good boy. And winter love to watch the horses 🐎 ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰 nice weather and we still have our quiet and relaxing moment here @ summit ridge 🥰
55My Big boy favorite place! It’s nice to come this morning nice weather. Winter (my dog) have a nice run and sniff and seeing the two horses @ first he is backing; but brave enough to watch them so curious what are they? He still love playing and chasing the red ball with rope. We have a great time.
55I brought Bentley here for a romp on his 9th birthday. He LOVED it!! He loved having so much space and different areas to explore. He saw chickens and horses for the first time, and after careful consideration and some processing time he approved! I also loved finding all the cute gnomes and other treasures tucked around the property. I also appreciated two different watering spots which made getting a drink easier for Bentley.

HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

“Our dog will be secured inside the house and kept away from windows and doors. I work from home so I’m home about 90% of the time and keep our house dog from the doors and windows. Some other dogs on neighboring farms can be heard on some occasions. Our neighbor to the West of us has dogs and she tries to keep them from going to the fence to respect our guest dogs when here but that’s not always the case so keep this in mind when deciding to book here. Each parcel in our rural area is 2-5 acres so some dogs might also be heard in the far distance also. PLEASE DON’T MARK HAVING OUR INSIDE DOG AS A DISTRACTION UNLESS YOU TRULY CAN SEE/HEAR HIM”

HOST REPORTS

“Our free ranging chickens can be seen/heard but will be secured inside their coop enclosure when guests are present. The chicken house/enclosure is 50 feet away from the enclosed zoomie pen so they’re likely to be heard or seen. We have visual barrier along 1/2 of the chickens enclosure. I look at this as an opportunity to practice my “leave-it” ques with our dogs! If the chickens are an issue when going from the zoomie pen to the field and back woods, leash dogs when passing if you believe they will have an issue. We can also secure them inside their house area if you would prefer. ————————————————————- our chickens free range the entire property, so we sometimes miss a poop here or there! ——————————————————————— We have horses in the front West pasture that can be seen but don’t usually come to the fence unless they are called over. There are sometimes Llamas and cows in the neighboring pasture behind us when in the backwoods, that are sometimes visible from some parts of the fence. We have a privacy barrier up where they can be seen between the shrubs. The neighboring pasture to the West of us has 2 horses that are seen and heard. (It’s great to use farm animals for distractions training) they also have 2 dogs that are outside on occasion so please consider this when booking.”

Location

Tacoma, Washington

Description

Centrally located in the Summit area nestled between Tacoma and Puyallup. We’re just minutes between the I-5 and 512. At Summit Ridge Canine Retreat, a premium spot, there’s something to satisfy your dog’s need to stimulate their natural curiosity and bring them home tired…the humans too! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 Included in your booking, you and your pup(s) will have all three different areas to engage their noses in different sensory experiences while on our 3 acre fully fenced property. Whether it’s our indoor building, the ‘Dog Den’ is suitable for small to medium sized dogs to play. The indoor arena is heated, during the cold rainy season and also air conditioned during the hot summer months. The indoor ‘Dog Den’ is also great for having a Birthday or Gotcha “Pawty”. The Dog Den can be fully enclosed for those rainy days or stay cool in summer with the A/C on. The slider will open into the fully fenced 1/4 acre grass dog Zoomy Pen🐶 The fully enclosed grass ‘Zoomie Pen’ is perfect for zoomie time, puppies and dogs in training, some toy fun, playdates, or for dogs without good recall. We have lights in the indoor and around the Zoomie Pen for the dark autumn and winter evening nights 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲 Just outside the Zoomy Pen is our large play field giving lots of room for Chuckit tossing☄️parkour on the logs, relaxing on the lounge chair under the trees, a firepit for s’mores fun, or some nose work fun for mind stimulation and enrichment (see our Extras) The large playfield connects to the backwoods🌲so 🐾Venture out to the 1.5 acre wooded area providing a cool shaded area of trails for more sniffing, wildlife spotting and horses in the neighboring pasture. There will be occasional llamas and cows from the neighboring back pasture🦙 behind the wooded area. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 There is a private outdoor toilet for guest use next to the indoor ‘Dog Den’. 💦💦💦💦💦🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕💦💦💦💦💦💦 We have a rinse off station with warm water, shampoo spray and towels. Look for it on the driveway side of the house 🐕🚿 (not available during freezing weather) ————————————————————— For an even greater experience, we offer some add ons that are sure to enhance your dog’s enrichment (hoomans too) and go home tired from all the fun! —————————————————————— Like and follow us on Instagram and Facebook for last minute openings, discounts and more! ———————————————————————- We’re usually closed on Tuesday and Wednesday for maintenance ——————————————————————- **New guests use promo code SUMMITNEW for $5 off your first visit.**

Hazards

HOST NOTE

During the rainy season, best to wear good traction boots 🥾 as there are some lower areas that get muddy. The field and meadow have dips and slight incline. If you have mobility issues, message us for for parking 🅿️ assistance to the back of our shop that’s closer to the mid-field for sitting and best viewing of your dog(s). When in the far meadow and backwoods, watch your footing in the grassy area due to mole mounds and dips in the field. We don’t mow the back field as often so the grass is longer in some areas. In the rainy season there’s a potential for a mud bog between the meadow and the wooded area because we’re next to a watershed. There’s a potential for tripping on ivy vines in some of the trails that don’t have wood chips but we have cleared away the majority of them. We’re laying down wood chips in all of the trails as they become available. On gusty winds days there is a potential for downed tree limbs so best to stay in the open mid-field or in the Zoomie Pen area where it’s most open. We work on the backwoods area whenever possible to make improvements and clear up more walking trails. **Closed shoes or hikers are strongly advised.** We have a small decorative natural pond in the front yard which is enticing for water dogs and puppies. It’s not deep but if your dog goes in, chances are they’ll need a bath afterwards! Because of this, it’s a good reason to leash your dog(s) when crossing the front yard area and when walking to/from your vehicle. This spot has a water feature, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water

Barnyard Bounce

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Secure 5' woven wire fencing surrounds this quiet 1/2‑acre pasture. It's great for playing fetch, playing/sniffing/running around, recall work, or structured training sessions. No animals border the fence, and distractions are minimal aside from the occasional passerby. The space is open, calm, and safe for dogs who need room and predictability. You’ll find a dog water station inside the gate. At your bench/chairs you'll find clean water bowls, poop bags, and a disposal bucket. We have reserved a parking spot for you with a sign. If you're with friends we can accommodate another car. Peaceful, private, and ideal for dogs to work or unwind with confidence. Since you're using SniffSpot you must be the kind of person who prioritizes the health and well-being of your dog/s. I appreciate you!

Wonderlane

Fully Fenced
2 acres

Enjoy an enchanting Pacific Northwest rainforest adventure at Wonderlane World Famous Sniffspot for Dogs and Their Best Friends - Bring your friends and their dogs too! Unleash your dogs and frolic with your beloved friends in the lush embrace of our hilly Pacific Northwest natural rainforest. Wonderlane invites you and your best pals to explore 68 years of history across 2 acres of established trails, over 9 terraces, under towering old-growth trees, listening to the gentle murmur of a clear creek, accessible by your choice of 2 gates. Best for physically fit individuals due to steep grades. For security at arrival we require the Entrance Gate to be closed behind you. On the outside of the driveway Entrance Gate you will find the garbage bin for poo bags! From the parking area choose your path— the left or right trailhead gates —and meander down Flying Horse Lane or Tail Waggin' Lane to The Landing Pad, where trails weave into playful circles perfect for a game of ‘Hide and Go Seek’ or a chase! At the forest edge, Madhatter Lane invites you to a serene creek, a secret haven at our fully fenced sanctuary. For environmental reasons, the creek area is not fenced, therefore bring a leash for your dog(s) when going into that area. Our hilly forested land, a tapestry of guardrails, fences, gates, natural barriers, rolling trails, springs and creeks, sometimes steep, sometimes flat, is a haven for play. There is a 100-foot-long Stick Library! These hilly trails, originally created for horses, have been lovingly reclaimed from invasive brush and dead trees, now fun for paws and feet alike. We’ve ensured the future of this tranquil forest by planting more than 600 local tree saplings. The canopy of Hemlock, Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, Yew, BigLeaf Maple, and Alder, filled out as soon as there was more light. These trails whisper stories of the past. In the spring flowering bushes bloom from March through early June, in the summer lush frilly leaves decorate every breeze with greenery in motion, and in the fall in October the leaves magically turn yellow, orange, red, brown, and purple. Wonderlane is more than a place; it’s an experience—a Sniffspot designed with your dog’s joy in mind. While they dash through wood chips and Pacific Northwest duff, under ferns, and around bends, you’ll enjoy the views of a 20-acre forested wetland, a living vista of nature, and plenty of chairs to sit in. This forest is alive with the songs of songbirds - sparrows, finches, thrushes, grosbeaks, and a host of other birds, such as majestic American Bald Eagles are seen here. Walk, run, or pause on our soft wide well-drained sand or woodchip paths and let the forest’s secrets reveal themselves uniquely to you. We’ve spent more than six years crafting this haven, just a mile from the South Sound, for you and your friends to run, walk, sit, and revel in the company of your pups. And when the day’s adventures are done, two Starbucks await to refresh you, 3 minutes and 5 minutes away - remember puppercinos/pup cups are free. Join our community on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556216197208 or by searching for “Wonderlane World Famous Sniffspot,” or ask a warm and friendly nearby AI to direct your browser to us, to see tails of joy. Wonderlane walks in the woods where nature’s heart beats, inviting you to breathe in the peaceful air, one paw print at a time! If your dog ever hesitates to leave, a ring of the Magic Chuck Waggin’ Triangle will bring them running back. Reminder in summer, or if visiting around twilight bring repellent or wear it when you drop into the forest, and if you choose, onto the creek area. (There are no fish in the creek because it is spring fed.) This Spot is best for physically fit individuals, but although we are disabled we enjoy it whenever there's time. If you need assistance or more info, please contact us directly. Keeping Wonderlane pristine is a collective effort, and we value your help in maintaining the beauty of our shared space! We can't do this without your help. Please use the usual household garbage bin marked 'Garbage' at the driveway entrance for disposal of poo bags. Please close water hydrants completely. Press the hydrant water handle all the way down into the completely closed position after use. If the water is not pressed completely closed, water continues to leak out the bottom of the hydrant unseen. Please close each gate. Dogs must be leashed going to and coming from the parking area, and may be unleashed when entering the dog park. We rely upon guests to contact us and tell us immediately if they need anything. To be fully fenced please roll shut the main gate after you park. There are also 2 sets of gates at the top of each trail to the Sniffspot. The forest area is fully fenced, some doubled. There are 2 gates that lead to the creek so you can control access. Please roll the Entrance gate into the OPEN and securely hooked position when you leave, thank you! Enjoy the forest’s magic at Wonderlane. Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556216197208 --------------------------------------- Thank you to the many regulars, Sniffpass holders, and new guests who clean up after their dogs so very well! Proud of our community! Thank you for closing hydrants all the way so they do not leak out the bottom and cost us all money! PS some guests want the creek fenced too, which isn't possible due to environmental reasons. Otherwise please bring a leash to explore in that area. *********************************** Created in memory of Rosie Lane, beloved dog. *********************************** If Wonderlane Sniffspot is booked you might LOVE our sister Sniffspot site in the forest right outside Redmond, Washington - Magical Mossy Forest - 5 acres of trails and winter creek. https://www.sniffspot.com/listings/redmond-wa/magical-mossy-forest-69904

Fully Fenced
1 acre

This spot is a 1/2 acre rough pasture with a bench, fruit trees, a tree swing and woods surrounded by greenbelt. It is fully fenced and gated although if your dog is small and escape-minded it may do so because it is wire field fence, not board fence. Please park to the far right of the garage and keep your dog leashed until you reach the pasture area at the back of the property. Enjoy! We are excited to be partnering with Mossy Paws Dog Training to offer training sessions here at the spot or at your home. Jen is a positive reinforcement trainer who specializes in behavioral issues, anxiety, reactivity, raising great puppies/dogs, life skills, manners, and more! Her focus is to streamline communication and improve relationships with dogs and their people so that training becomes an easy part of your day-to-day life. Jen is considering offering reactivity classes and puppy/teen socialization here at the spot. Please reach out to her directly if you are interested! mossypawsdogtraining.com or [email protected]

Janimal's 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Maple Valley

Fully Fenced
1 acre

Enjoy well over 1.3 acres of fenced pastures and natural areas with many areas to explore. Your pup will climb over a giant felled tree, run around the seasonal pond, play catch with you, and sniff all the smells left by elk, coyotes, and even bears that came by during the night. Important: All dogs included in a booking need to be acquainted with one another beforehand, and first-time introductions between dogs aren’t permitted. No pesticides or herbicides have been used in this area. The fence is 3 feet tall in the lowest area, but the area abuts a large grassy area and additional pastures.  The only domesticated animals your pup(s) might hear or see are my dog, who will be secured inside the house during your visit, and possibly the neighbor's dogs; they are over 100 feet away from the fence for the Sniffspot and separated by another pasture. This natural area is visited by wildlife. You may see bear, coyote, deer, and elk scat. Once you are in the fenced sniff spot, your pup should not be able to hear my dog anymore. Paved roads and parking make it easy to get to this sniff spot, but you will have to walk across the grass to the sniff spot; you will want to wear appropriate shoes.

Barnyard Bounce

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Secure 5' woven wire fencing surrounds this quiet 1/2‑acre pasture. It's great for playing fetch, playing/sniffing/running around, recall work, or structured training sessions. No animals border the fence, and distractions are minimal aside from the occasional passerby. The space is open, calm, and safe for dogs who need room and predictability. You’ll find a dog water station inside the gate. At your bench/chairs you'll find clean water bowls, poop bags, and a disposal bucket. We have reserved a parking spot for you with a sign. If you're with friends we can accommodate another car. Peaceful, private, and ideal for dogs to work or unwind with confidence. Since you're using SniffSpot you must be the kind of person who prioritizes the health and well-being of your dog/s. I appreciate you!

Wonderlane

Fully Fenced
2 acres

Enjoy an enchanting Pacific Northwest rainforest adventure at Wonderlane World Famous Sniffspot for Dogs and Their Best Friends - Bring your friends and their dogs too! Unleash your dogs and frolic with your beloved friends in the lush embrace of our hilly Pacific Northwest natural rainforest. Wonderlane invites you and your best pals to explore 68 years of history across 2 acres of established trails, over 9 terraces, under towering old-growth trees, listening to the gentle murmur of a clear creek, accessible by your choice of 2 gates. Best for physically fit individuals due to steep grades. For security at arrival we require the Entrance Gate to be closed behind you. On the outside of the driveway Entrance Gate you will find the garbage bin for poo bags! From the parking area choose your path— the left or right trailhead gates —and meander down Flying Horse Lane or Tail Waggin' Lane to The Landing Pad, where trails weave into playful circles perfect for a game of ‘Hide and Go Seek’ or a chase! At the forest edge, Madhatter Lane invites you to a serene creek, a secret haven at our fully fenced sanctuary. For environmental reasons, the creek area is not fenced, therefore bring a leash for your dog(s) when going into that area. Our hilly forested land, a tapestry of guardrails, fences, gates, natural barriers, rolling trails, springs and creeks, sometimes steep, sometimes flat, is a haven for play. There is a 100-foot-long Stick Library! These hilly trails, originally created for horses, have been lovingly reclaimed from invasive brush and dead trees, now fun for paws and feet alike. We’ve ensured the future of this tranquil forest by planting more than 600 local tree saplings. The canopy of Hemlock, Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, Yew, BigLeaf Maple, and Alder, filled out as soon as there was more light. These trails whisper stories of the past. In the spring flowering bushes bloom from March through early June, in the summer lush frilly leaves decorate every breeze with greenery in motion, and in the fall in October the leaves magically turn yellow, orange, red, brown, and purple. Wonderlane is more than a place; it’s an experience—a Sniffspot designed with your dog’s joy in mind. While they dash through wood chips and Pacific Northwest duff, under ferns, and around bends, you’ll enjoy the views of a 20-acre forested wetland, a living vista of nature, and plenty of chairs to sit in. This forest is alive with the songs of songbirds - sparrows, finches, thrushes, grosbeaks, and a host of other birds, such as majestic American Bald Eagles are seen here. Walk, run, or pause on our soft wide well-drained sand or woodchip paths and let the forest’s secrets reveal themselves uniquely to you. We’ve spent more than six years crafting this haven, just a mile from the South Sound, for you and your friends to run, walk, sit, and revel in the company of your pups. And when the day’s adventures are done, two Starbucks await to refresh you, 3 minutes and 5 minutes away - remember puppercinos/pup cups are free. Join our community on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556216197208 or by searching for “Wonderlane World Famous Sniffspot,” or ask a warm and friendly nearby AI to direct your browser to us, to see tails of joy. Wonderlane walks in the woods where nature’s heart beats, inviting you to breathe in the peaceful air, one paw print at a time! If your dog ever hesitates to leave, a ring of the Magic Chuck Waggin’ Triangle will bring them running back. Reminder in summer, or if visiting around twilight bring repellent or wear it when you drop into the forest, and if you choose, onto the creek area. (There are no fish in the creek because it is spring fed.) This Spot is best for physically fit individuals, but although we are disabled we enjoy it whenever there's time. If you need assistance or more info, please contact us directly. Keeping Wonderlane pristine is a collective effort, and we value your help in maintaining the beauty of our shared space! We can't do this without your help. Please use the usual household garbage bin marked 'Garbage' at the driveway entrance for disposal of poo bags. Please close water hydrants completely. Press the hydrant water handle all the way down into the completely closed position after use. If the water is not pressed completely closed, water continues to leak out the bottom of the hydrant unseen. Please close each gate. Dogs must be leashed going to and coming from the parking area, and may be unleashed when entering the dog park. We rely upon guests to contact us and tell us immediately if they need anything. To be fully fenced please roll shut the main gate after you park. There are also 2 sets of gates at the top of each trail to the Sniffspot. The forest area is fully fenced, some doubled. There are 2 gates that lead to the creek so you can control access. Please roll the Entrance gate into the OPEN and securely hooked position when you leave, thank you! Enjoy the forest’s magic at Wonderlane. Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556216197208 --------------------------------------- Thank you to the many regulars, Sniffpass holders, and new guests who clean up after their dogs so very well! Proud of our community! Thank you for closing hydrants all the way so they do not leak out the bottom and cost us all money! PS some guests want the creek fenced too, which isn't possible due to environmental reasons. Otherwise please bring a leash to explore in that area. *********************************** Created in memory of Rosie Lane, beloved dog. *********************************** If Wonderlane Sniffspot is booked you might LOVE our sister Sniffspot site in the forest right outside Redmond, Washington - Magical Mossy Forest - 5 acres of trails and winter creek. https://www.sniffspot.com/listings/redmond-wa/magical-mossy-forest-69904

Little Red Bench Private Dog Park In Tacoma

Fully Fenced
1 acre

This spot is a 1/2 acre rough pasture with a bench, fruit trees, a tree swing and woods surrounded by greenbelt. It is fully fenced and gated although if your dog is small and escape-minded it may do so because it is wire field fence, not board fence. Please park to the far right of the garage and keep your dog leashed until you reach the pasture area at the back of the property. Enjoy! We are excited to be partnering with Mossy Paws Dog Training to offer training sessions here at the spot or at your home. Jen is a positive reinforcement trainer who specializes in behavioral issues, anxiety, reactivity, raising great puppies/dogs, life skills, manners, and more! Her focus is to streamline communication and improve relationships with dogs and their people so that training becomes an easy part of your day-to-day life. Jen is considering offering reactivity classes and puppy/teen socialization here at the spot. Please reach out to her directly if you are interested! mossypawsdogtraining.com or [email protected]
