55Great spot for my pups to sniff and play. Wooded area for raining in the trees as well as small open area for running. There are two ponds and chickens. Chickens were well secured and safe from my curious dogs.
Fencing appeared to be secure around the property although my dogs don’t really test fences too much.
You should follow your dog around this sniffspot because there are some things they could get into. There are some vehicles that are parked in the field, some wire rolls on the ground and two ponds. Nothing major but depending on your dog you might want to watch for.
Overall experience of the space was positive and fun! I felt my dogs were safe and secured with plenty of things to do and investigate. We saw no other dogs at this spot which is important for dog aggressive girl.

55Not sure who loved it more, myself or the dogs! Lots of really great smells around, the dogs didn't lift their heads the entire time, lots of room to run, and lots of things to explore. I loved seeing the cows and chickens 😊Kayla M.

55Such a cute area, we loved getting to see the different animals! It was a great way for our boys to get introduced to other animals but with them securely in their own little space. Lots of different areas for the dogs to run and check out all the cool stuff. Melissa B.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience and we really enjoyed it. It was a beautiful day & the farm animals were so fun. My Great Dane pup was taken with the cows & goats. A great hour to work out some puppy energy.Marty S.

55Such a great new spot. The dogs enjoyed zooming through the wooded area and the wide open space. The human and dogs all enjoyed the farm creatures. Fencing is secure as described. Note there's one low spot near the cow area that a dog that really wanted to could jump but there are plenty of other places to be than at the gate so shouldn't be an issue for most. The spot was easy to find with the street number being large on the mailbox And the parking spot marked clearly. Just don't be a dope and turn down the dirt road by the berries, turn down the actual gravel driveway just before the mailbox. Tonya K.

55This was the perfect place to bring my reactive GSD. She had lots of fun sniffing around, running through the wooded area, and playing fetch. I was pretty excited myself to see the cows (there’s a fluffy one!). Beware: if your dog loves water like mine does, there’s a good chance they are going to be leaving dirty. Bring a towel. The pond in progress is pretty yucky and my girl dove in head first before I could stop her 😂Lila T.

55Excellent farm with fully-fenced, clean, open yard — and lots of smells. When we pulled our car just past the gated entrance, our three pups spotted a cow from the backseat and lost their minds. The cow was nonplussed, and possibly a little amused. We shut the gate, found a parking spot and let the dogs loose. They loved every minute of their Sniffspot time, chasing balls and checking out chickens and pigs for the first time (through a fence). They did far better with the chickens and pigs. Elizabeth L.

55What a beautiful place! The pups had a great time romping up and down the "mountain" and cooling off in the creek. Grace greeted us upon arrival and was so nice. She had lots of supplies available (from poop bags, to sanitizer, to toys) and even had a little sign made up greeting us. My one dog did sneak back up to the front part of the property at one point but the fencing was quite secure. My only caution would be that if you have a visually impaired pup as i do, or one the runs without looking, to keep a lead on as there are a few steep areas they can stumble down- although the landing would be fairly soft. Bottom line: clean, welcoming, safe and a beautiful chunk of the PNW. Thank you!MARY A.

55Grace is a kind and welcoming host. She’s thought of all the little details including human/dog treats, water, poop bags, and even a personalized sign for our visit! My pup wore himself out exploring the forest and creek. We will definitely be back. Riley K.

55This was our first time using sniff spot, and all others will now have A LOT to live up to! This place was AMAZING. Grace greeted us when we got there, with a personalized sign for our party, balls for the pups, water, hand sani, and a chuck-it stick. She gave us all the details and then left us to frollock - and frollock we did! The spot was awesome - so many little trails through the woods, lush grass, beautiful ferns. Little pockets of meadows that the pups had fun running around in. The space felt big but not too big that your dog wouldn’t be able to hear you if they wandered off. And totally fenced! The creek running through was a nice meeting spot for cooling down in - my dog got zoomies in it, haha. There are some goats and a horse in a fenced area that your dogs can go up and say hi to - my dog stuck his nose through and booped noses with one of them! Ha! He had never met one before! And when we got back to our car there was a little bag with treats for the pups and humans. 20/10 sniff spot, We will be back! Maya B.

FAQ about our Ferndale small dog parks
Are small 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 are much safer than public dog parks.

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?

Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
