55This is such an amazing place for dogs to roam carefree and the owners really make it convenient for the humans to enjoy as well. The area is well kept and clean. They offer everything you could think of to make the visit enjoyable. We have 2 large labs and they absolutely loved every minute. This has become our new favorite place. We visited with owner for a short period of time and she was really nice and caring. Christina H.

55This was our third visit to Dawn to Dusk but the first time with another dog friend. Both dogs are a little "exuberant" so we've been leash walking them. Omg! They had so much fun TOGETHER! This place is a godsend The dogs and humans are so happy. Can't wait until next weekend!Gloria R.

55Carol and her husband are wonderful people. My husband and I took our German Shepherd here because he is a reactive dog (he’s been attacked 4 times at dog parks). Once we arrived and accessed the dog area, I felt a huge sense of relief. I wasn’t having to worry about other dogs or worried about him running out. They provide water, treats, toys and towels. They have a bungalow that is at the bottom of the enclosure, which we appreciated. The view is very beautiful. My dog had such a great time. Thank you so much Carol and husband for building such a wonderful dog park for us owners that don’t feel comfortable with public dog parks.
If I do have a Con about the area, it would only be the fact that there are no grassy areas for dogs to rest and cool down. My German Shepherd is picky and loves to lay on a grassy patch to rest, catch his breath and drink water. Not a deal breaker! After having a wonderful chat with Carol I learned that she has bigger plans for the dog park area and I can’t wait to see it bloom to something even better. Tyson and I look forward to spending plenty of time here. Asheley S.

55It was wonderful to visit a second time when the air was clear. They continue to add elements to ensure comfort and fun. My dogs played more because I took a friend with me!

55Super easy to find, and close to Spokane. Our dogs had a great time running and playing! There were toys, poop bags, treats, and lots of seating available. We will definitely take our pups again!Leaira G.

55This place is very well thought out. The fencing is very secure, it’s a lot of room but not too much. Fresh clean water provided, toys, sitting areas, bags for you to clean up! It’s very clean. The owners are two of the nicest people Ive ever met. I spent (too long if you ask my dog haha) a while talking to the owner! It’s very evident she loves dogs and they put a lot into making a safe area! I have two pit bulls and because of their breed I’ve always been scared to take them to a dog park because I know it will always be their fault if anything happens. So this private dog park gives me piece of mind. ! Thank you so much! We will be frequent flyers!!! Alysa M.

55This was a great experience. It was our first and because the dogs had such a great time (my children as well) it won’t be our last. Our sweet host came out to introduce herself briefly and to make sure we had found where are the supplies were. Treats, towels, toys, etc., it evident that the owners love dogs! My Golden Retriever and Chocolate Lab were wore out in the allotted time slot and slept peacefully the whole 45 minute car ride home. I will definitely be back, I’m thinking maybe dusk, date night?Tracy B.

55We will be regulars with our 3 pups. Carol is a welcoming host and an obvious dog lover. The property is lovely with varied terrain, sitting benches, toys, water and trees for shade. Didn’t find any ticks either. Big bonus!! Christine L.

55We had a great visit at Carol’s property! It’s so nice to be able to let your dog run and be a dog without having to worry about other dogs behaviors. The place is very accommodating, with toys, fresh water, lots of shade, chairs, a bbq, and a picnic table! It’s clear that Carol put a lot of love into making such a wonderful spot. The views are wonderful as well! We’ll definitely be back! :)Ashley B.

55John's property was absolutely beautiful! We brought three dogs here and they had so much fun sniffing and running through the little trails! We definitely can't wait to come back. John was great at explaining where the trails end and making sure we knew where everything was. Cherv Cherv L.

55Another great pawventure day with my dogs and my friend’s dogs. John’s and Stephanie’s place is a true doggy paradise. Highly recommend this SniffSpot- especially if you’re looking for a bit of everything. Bonus- a restroom to use by the barn before leaving. And domestic animals on the property feels you’re at a petting zoo. Especially for your pup who has never seen an animal before, this is a good opportunity to socialize them from afar. Kate T.

55Lovely place to spend a few hours that has it all - privacy, trails as well as a nice flat area to play ball and a small cabin with a porch on which you can have your lunch will listening to the stream and quiet of nature. Most of the trails are marked with signs and lined with logs to make them easier to follow. Would not recommend the trails for someone with bad knees. They aren't flat. And some areas are pretty muddy at this point. Our dog loves it though and it is a joy to see him be so happy and to be able to run off leash and explore like a dog should. He also loves the creek which is not very deep and has a little bit of a current. We all enjoyed the goats, chickens and cows! Beautiful property, very tranquil. I agree with everyone else - John and Stephanie are very welcoming. Anisa H.

55This was a fun spot! Lots to explore. On the way in, we did have to walk through the area that the goats, cows, and chickens are. The dogs didn't seem to mind the first time, but on our way back through they were definitely a bit more fixated. Some of the trails ended with no warning and others looped around. It was quiet and peaceful and one dog enjoyed his dip in the river.Jenna H.

FAQ about our Clarkston 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 100% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Clarkston area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 4 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
