55The site is great for active dogs who need to release their energy. It's on a hillside and it's a wonderful way to play with the dogs. I can see a lot of work has gone into making this a place to remember. People with walking restrictions won't enjoy the hillside as it's steep. Once it's done the watering areas are all along the pathways. We loved the site. Thank you! CR & PupsCarrie R.

55We had a fantastic time at this spot, even if it was a little muddy from recent rain. It was like being in a park without having to share the space with other people. We came home with a tired happy pup.Sarah W.

55This property is fantastic! Feels like you’re in a distant rain forest rather than a backyard in the city. My dog had SO much fun exploring and sniffing and running around while I had peace of mind he would be safe. We’ll definitely be back! Joy G.

55Beautiful romp in the woods! One note for first time visitors: the entry trail is steep, and after rain it might be slippery.

55The dogs had a blast running around the trails. The perimeter is well secured. I'm looking forward to the new gate being added to keep the dogs in the trail area on both entrance sides.Jeannie T.

55Perfect way to spend a fall evening! My pups had a great time sprinting through the fallen leaves and we enjoyed listening to the creek. The trails are very well-maintained with no fallen branches. Can’t wait to come back! Megan S.

55A beautiful trail with an amazing creek and lots of things to sniff! My beagle boxer mix was so so excited with what was there and loved sniffing and running between the trees! Can’t wait to go back! Lisa T.

55This is my dogs favorite spot! It feels like trails for him to go around. Everytime we come back, the owner has done so much work to make it an enjoyable experience. From making the trails with seating to having water spouts is very convenient. This time- it was completely fenced with an option to go down to the creek (unfenced area) and they made trails to get there. My dog loves to explore all the nature.
I don’t see any dogs, nor do I hear any neighbors. Owner is very nice and communicative over chat. Madi N.

55This was my first sniffspot experience and it will be hard to top! The spot is very pretty with lots of doggy-made (and human-made) trails to explore. My dog is very sneaky and was able to get under the entrance gate and the gate to the creek but there was wood to block off the bottom of the gates. If your dog is sneaky, I'd suggest you do the same. The perimeter fence is very secure though.Shella S.

55Really great trails and scenery. So quiet and serene. The dogs loved just running around and sniffing. My water dog really liked playing in the creek! I liked seeing all the little creatures, moss and mushrooms. It can be a little slippery this time of year! Emily M.

55We loved our first visit! Our Border Collie had a blast racing up and down the trails, while the soothing sound of the creek made for a relaxing backdrop. Beautiful space – we’ll be back!Alison B.

55Our favorite spot closed down, and I’ve been on the search for a new one that works for my reactive girl. So thankful we found this one!! Will definitely be coming back. The creek was an added bonus (:Jessica S.

55We had a great romp through the woods as usual. Also, appreciated Linda’s new fencing around her house. I always tried in the past to keep my doggo out of her private yard but was usually unsuccessful. Now I don’t have to worry about him invading Linda’s privacy by snooping around in the “forbidden zone”. Thanks Linda for a really beautiful and private Sniffspot!Bonnie B.

FAQ about our Federal Way 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.
How can I find dog fields in Federal Way?
There are 96 dog fields in the Federal Way area. The most popular dog field is Wonderlane. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
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.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Federal Way area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog field is Bella's Home. The most expensive dog field is Bella's Home. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
