Great building to train in! I brought a couple of my dogs over to do sport detection searches and we had a blast. I was a little worried about my boy running across the smooth cement to bite his tug reward but it wasn't too bad to manage. Overall: super easy to find and access, clean, private parking, all good!

Such a great addition to our community! I love having a place close by that’s indoors and the agility equipment is awesome! Maizie really enjoyed sniffing, running around and picking out a toy to play with! We will definitely be back!

My first visit, the host was friendly and very helpful. Plenty of room to run and play. An area inside is also available. Great place to go.

This is a fabulous SniffSpot! Easy to find coming from Bellingham. Beautiful open field. For a city girl, it’s extra special to be in the vicinity of horses. (They are all contained) Highly recommend this spot. Micah was really helpful and gracious working around my scheduling snags. Nicole is great too.

This is a large hayfield under high power lines. It's a great spot to give a dog with a really good recall some downtime to wander and sniff. The fencing is not dog proof and the listing clearly says this. I think we pissed off the loacal hawk who wanted to hunt in the field while we were there :-) You need to pass between horse padocks to get to the field so be prepared to keep your dog under control around large livestock. This was exaxtly what my two dogs needed after two days in the car (1-40# herding dog and 1-12# toy dog)

Lovely huge field that is mostly clearly marked by fencing. Do keep in mind that if you have a high prey drive dog, there are horses on the ranch visible to your dogs.

great open space for my pup to run around! It was my rescue pups first time meeting horses, and while he wasn’t a huge fan we could easily keep our distance. We were able to run around and work on training. Great location.

Great space for the dog to run around! Very scenic and private. Just make sure your dog has solid recall because there are horses in pastures close by with enough space in the fences for a dog to fit through.

the host was there to greet us and very nice and helpful. The horses were beautiful and this was the first time my English Cream had been up close.They were all in paddocks but the dog was able to run in and out so it was interesting to watch as he tried to encourage the horses to play!!The host did offer water but we had our own. No toys or chuckit for the dogs but again we took our own. Thank you for allowing us to visit Diane

Wow! What an excellent time my 10 month Lab mix had here today running and running from one fence to the opposite fence. There was water as well and she enjoyed frolicking in it. Great spot! Thank you!.

February 2023

Fun space for my pups!! There was a lot of water from the recent rain, which is what I was looking for!! Bring boots and a coat and you're in for a fun time!

Nice area for dogs to sniff and explore. Fenced in area seems secure, very clean and lots of fun puddles to run through. Chairs provided. Accommodating host and clear directions. Can’t wait to go back!

Our dogs loved splashing in the ponds! We loved the different choices of hang out spots and we can't wait to come visit again this summer!

Lovely property! Ragnar loved it!! Thank you, if you go through the other fence wear gum boots- tons of spiders! Nice seating area under the tree- We will come back for sure!

Lyn J.

Nice smaller area, but not tiny by any means. It was perfect for our larger dog that can't be running at the moment.

Zoe W.

January 2025

Such a wonderful spot for sitting in the grass and soaking up some sun! Enough room to throw the ball around, but not a spot I would recommend if your dog is in the mood to run long distances. It was easy to find and the fencing was very tall and secure!

Sam B.

Great fenced back yard! We did see a neighbor cat on the fence our pup was interested in as well as a neighbor kid. The spot was perfect and the host was communicative and helpful!

Jean N.

January 2023

Fabulous! Fresh water provided, garbage can on site, toys and space for the puppies to race and even some sticks to tug and chew. Loved the large evergreen trees on site, both as rain protection for us humans, and for the pups to run around. We will return!

Tani B.

This would be a great spot if you had a couple of little dogs and wanted a space where they could romp, play, and explore. Also an excellent spot for an older dog that sticks by you and wants to sniff around. For us, a senior lady and 65 lb Shepherd border collie, there was some running he could do but it was more sedate than we normally want. But for a rainy day, for a dog with cabin fever, it was a nice visit. Also, you can see from the picture that the short fence around the shed is probably just fine.

Thank you for sharing your yard! Ginny had a great time. Bella, the neighbors dog, did pop her head over the fence to say hi, and was very well behaved. Ginny gets really excited by other dogs, so she spent a lot of time by the fence trying to figure out how to play with her. She loved being able to climb on the stumps near the fire pit and had a great time exploring. The fencing is very secure, no gaps, and there were very clear instructions provided, so it was easy to find the house and get to the yard. It isn't a huge space but Ginny was able to run and fetch just fine. Thanks again!
