55This is my new favorite training spot!!! I do scent and nose work with my dogs and client dogs and we loved exploring the barn! I closed the parking gates to make for a huge fenced area and we already can’t wait to come back! Hillary H.

55Fully fenced and secure! However, on my way out (about 10 minutes before end time) there were two off leash dogs on a trail next to the parking spot, caught me and my reactive dog off guard Vicky H.

55K9 Grannies was perfect for our older dog. The wide open fenced in fields were great! She finally tapped in to her golden retriever gene and had a blast playing fetch! The fencing was very secure and there were plenty of toys and water available. Great experience!Julie R.

55This was a delightful spot! I can’t say enough good things about it! It especially suited my current needs because I have a sprained ankle and am not able to walk the trails with my dogs. This is one acre of crisscrossing wooded trails for my dogs to run and explore and a comfortable chair for me to sit and watch them. They took advantage of every minute we were there, but they were tired and ready to leave after an hour.
I appreciated the steps as it’s a little steep to get to the gate. (It would be nice if there were a double gate, like at the entrance to a dog park.) There’s a stainless steel water bowl, but bring your own water. The fencing is secure. A dog could be heard barking one time and, of course, my loudmouth boy had to answer back, but other than that there were no distractions and it was very peaceful. Thank you, Denise, for providing the perfect spot at the time I needed it. We will be back!Sharon D.

55It was very clean, and there was fresh water for our pup and fetch balls to play with. Would definitely recommend this spot a great spot to take your pup to get their energy out. Bonita B.

55This is a great little sniff spot to practice with my nervous German Shepard. There is plenty of forest fun to sniff and explore, while still being in a fenced secure area. I also found it to be a great place to meditate while my dog chomps on sticks.
Sniff spot is clean and easy to find.
Only downside is it’s a bit small to run your dog, but if you use it as a training/confidence building spot it’s absolutely perfect. Alesia H.

55It can be hard to find sniff spots that are safely fenced for little dogs. This spot was very secured. It was the perfect size to let the dogs explore without worrying about losing track of them. We plan to visit again!Krista O.

55This spot is so much fun to explore! It’s huge. You start out walking on a forest road to a clearing, and from there a bunch of smaller trails branch out. The smaller trails are rustic, but perfectly passable, and provide a really cool opportunity for dogs to play around in varied terrain. My girl loved getting to go into “off-road” mode!Anna D.

55OMG!!! This is such a beautiful spot! My littles had the best time ever, I’ve got Cairn terriers so this was an absolute oasis for them. We were here for an hour and a half and they didn’t stop except to drink water. The fencing was safe, easy to walk through, and I had a great time as well. Thank you so much for offering this place. Also my girl can’t be in the sun to much, so this was awesomely appreciated!Karen L.

FAQ About Bellingham 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.
