55Great open space for play with a little visibility of other dogs, people, and bikes going by on the bike path and sound of trains and plane - great for mid-level distractions practice. Tree in space provides nice shade. Chicken coop in play area with double fencing - just in case certain dogs can't handle that, but the chickens are safe from the dogs, just visible and audible.Audrey G.

55Easy access with the side gate right into the yard. Beautiful big yard for my boy to run around. Robert already had toys and a bucket of fresh water in the yard ready to go when we got there. He came out and introduced himself a little bit after we got there and talked for a little while but mainly let us be. My pup had a wonderful time and I’ll definitely take advantage of this Sniffspot again when I’m in the area. Charles R.

55Lovely fenced in spot with a little basket of toys, plenty of room for our big goofy shepherd to run around and even a dock for swimming! We didn't have time to get the pup swimming but if we're ever passing through again we will be back! Highly recommend. 🥰Olivia A.

55I live nearby but don’t have a big yard. My friend brought her 2 dogs to play with mine. It’s so spacious and clean. The boys had so much fun playing ball and running around. Just what they needed after being cooped up for a few days. Robert was such a gracious host. He had water ready for the dogs and the humans. We will be back soon and often!Sabrina J.

55Amazing little spot! Directions were clear on the description to get there. Rob was so nice when greeting us shortly to show us where to park and get in. The water was easy for our 1 year old German shepherd to get in and out as he gets used to the water and good amount of room to chase his ball! Emily C.

FAQ about our Sandpoint 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. 99% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Sandpoint 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 9 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 3 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.
