55Awesome area for the pups to run and sniff like crazy. Get the feeling of being free with the safety of a fence.

55What a great spot! Private, secure fence, lots of room to run and play, and a good portion is wooded for sniffing/exploring! There is a water station and easy parking. My doggos had a blast!Lindsay B.

55Since this was my first SniffSpot visit, I was a bit nervous about it all, but it’s such a nice place. Wore my dog out! Five acres isn’t as much as I thought, so my worries about losing track of my dog were naught!
He loved it; ran, sniffed, hopped over logs.
Directions were great, right down to where to park. I’d definitely return. Becky F.

55It’s like a PNW forest playground for you and your Pooch! Mine had a wonderful time running, climbing, jumping, and sniffing. Barely stopped at all our entire hour! Erin M.

55Perfect enclosed space for a curious pup. Our dog enjoyed going up and over the branches and shrubbery.
Just pay attention as you’re walking because there is alot of fallen branches but other than that, its a safe spot for your dog to roam off leash. Haylee B.

55Thank you so much for sharing your property. The kids had sooo much fun jumping over the logs,chasing the squirrel, and playing hide and seek. Great spot for dogs who prefer to to be away from other animals. The only suggestion would be to put a latch on the inside of the fence. Can't wait to come back.

55This was our first time using a SniffSpot and our dog absolutely loved it. It was so nice watching him have the freedom to run and explore and roam around as much as he wanted. There’s not necessarily a set trail through the woods, but it’s still walkable and he loved having all the obstacles to race around. I think this was the perfect size space to start out with, being it was his first true off-leash experience. He had the best time and spent the entire hour adventuring through the woods. We’ll definitely be back (:Kelsie M.

55This has become our puppy’s favorite Sniffspot. He loves the woods and all of the obstacles it provides. Perfect for his zoomies and it keeps him entertained for the whole hour. And Trisha (the host) is so nice and super accommodating. We will definitely keep coming back. Kelsie M.

55We had so much fun! Henry was in Heaven and I just loved watching him sprint around, jump over logs, sniff and explore. I did not have to worry since the area was very secure. It was the perfect opportunity to practice recall. We LOVED it! Thank you JoAnn E.

55This is a great spot if you’re looking to do some training, a play date or have a runner/ball chaser. It is an open field with visibility throughout. The owner, Jennifer came out and met us and she was lovely. When you enter there is an older chicken coop to your right that the dogs safety explore. To your left the neighbors have horses. The horses are secured by 2 fences with at least 3 feet between. If your dogs have ever been fearful or reactive towards horses like mine, this is a great place to safely let them observe. The horses were very friendly. The fencing throughout the spot is secure to the ground with no concerns of digging out. When you arrive you will be greeted by geese and chickens at your car. Not to worry, they are pretty dog savvy. We were able to walk past them on a leash. My only critique of this place (which I shared with the owner) is to add a little more security to the entrance gate. The chain hooks in and wraps around but if you have a savvy dog who wants to chase geese and chickens they can bump it off with the nose and push hard (my buttheads did this so I can attest that the geese and chickens are dog savvy!) I recommend Jennifer just simply adds another 99 cent carabiner to the end of the chain so it can hook the barn mounted carabiner. This would give me peace of mind. If you’re dogs are not ridiculously intelligent and you’re always trying to make sure they don’t out smart you, just go ahead and disregard this critique because it’s not many that it will effect. Check this spot out! It’s only 6 miles miles off the Stanwood i5 exit and loads of fun! Linsey T.

55A peaceful, wide-open pasture with well-kept grass for dogs to run and explore. This Sniff Spot had a friendly, family vibe on a rustic farm setting.
My dog and I especially enjoyed seeing the friendly horses next door come check us out across the fence and the family’s geese honk and waddle up as we arrived. (Keep pups on leash until you’re in the designated play area.) This would be an entertaining outing for dogs AND kids.
At the furthest end of the pasture (which is fully fenced) is a beautiful, expansive view of a town on a hill in the distance. Seeing big blue skies was a good break from city life for me.
Stanwood is an old Washington town that deserves a little exploration, as well. There are historic buildings, thrift stores, frozen yogurt, barbecue, a turn of the century hotel, etc. Dana F.

55The kids had a great time! Sniffing around the barn was great fun and having the room to full out run was great. So glad to have somewhere local! Thank you.Pam F.

55Great spot for dogs who love a wide open area and are good with farm animals. My puppy was intrigued by the horses, but terrified of the geese (outside the fenced area, of course), so I used it as a training experience for her. It's a farm so there's equipment around and building materials on the ground. There were some nails sticking out of a few boards inside the barn area. If you're concerned about that, just keep the dog in the open area. Great directions about locating the property. The only thing I might change is to have a SniffSpot sign about where to park. Otherwise, lots of fun and really nice property owners. Tonya K.

FAQ about our Stanwood 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Stanwood 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 163 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 33 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.
