55Excellent as always.
We saw the recent review about loud noises (?fireworks/gun range) but didn’t hear anything- and haven’t on our previous visits. Barb was super supportive about our concern and wanted to know in the moment if anything scared our dogs.
We are big fans of this sniffspot - the ‘high bar’ for all others to meet or beat!Andrew F.

55The owner was extremely kind, and friendly. During our stay we had complete privacy and the field was amazing! There are woods in the back with lots of fun trails, and everywhere was fenced in! Definitely my favorite spot yet! Taryn T.

55It has been over a year since we visited due to moving to property of our own but wanted some cool shade to walk in today so went back out. I can’t believe all of the improvements Barb has made to the spot! It was already amazing but now is even moreso. It’s obvious Barb cares and puts so much work into making this awesome for both humans and canines!Ashley H.

55LOVE! The property is a combo of open field and forest trails that our dog absolutely loved. I was worried about getting lost in so much space but the property is laid out really well. Very quick drive from Blaine as well! We will definitely be back!Lauren G.

55What a gem! We loved the combination of open field and wooded trails! The placement of bins for poop bags made it nice so I didn’t have to carry filled bags the entire time. Our boys enjoyed exploring in the woods and then going all out in the field. Wish we lived closer so we could visit more often, we will definitely be back when we are in the area!Joleen B.

55Exceptional, as always.
Either new, or new to me, though, the people across the street have dogs out in the front yard that I've not seen before...Who nonstop bark their heads off as soon as they see your dogs. For us, it made for a great opportunity to practice reactivity training while being able to give as much distance as was necessary.Tonya K.

55A beautifully maintained property, so large that our active dog was tired before our time was up from running so hard. Tons of amenities, including two shelters from the elements. Heather H.

55This space is amazing! This is the first relaxing walk without a dog that I've had in over a year. 🤣 Now don't get me wrong, Liina was there. I wandered through the forest slowly, maybe 4 laps, while she ran flat out flying over ferns, bounding into ponds, sailing over streams, and running running running. She most definitely had the best day ever!
We'll be making this a regular stop. It's the perfect size for playing, off leash work, and some hide and seek.
A little muddy as expected this time of year. Definitely wear boots if it's been raining. Exceptionally clean and well-maintained grounds and trails.Saara K.

55Absolutely unbelievable. Curated trails, huge field, private, and quiet. Our dogs loved the smells and space to run. Every detail is in place. Rough ground, as expected, so wear hiking boots and bring some towels for the dogs (tho there is a hose on site). Kate D.

55Wow, this place is really special! This was my first time visiting and Grace has thought of everything. My pup and I had a blast exploring this big, beautiful property. Just make sure to wear boots you can get muddy and bring a towel in case your dog decides to check out the creek. We both enjoyed the special treat that the host left for us at the end. Arielle F.

55We had a wonderful visit to this spot. The trails through the peaceful woods were well groomed and nice and wide. There was a lot of great areas for sniffing and secure fencing! My dogs had a blast playing in the creek, so be sure and take some towels. Grace is an exceptional host and there was professional signage. We felt very welcome here and will definitely return!Wendy K.

55We had a great experience at this Sniffspot. Grace put several personal touches into our first visit. We had a very nice time. If you have dogs with physical limitations, talk to Grace before your visit. The hill is very steep and may be too demanding.Kristin R.

55The best of all SniffSpots! Grace was so kind and welcoming and there’s everything you could possibly need, even an outhouse. Our wirehaired pointing griffon had the best time sniffing and hunting around this beautiful property. He is leash reactive and we loved that the property is fully and securely fenced so we could trust that he was secure and no one else would be joining us. We could hear a dog or two in the distance and there are chickens across the creek (behind a fence - maybe two fences even) but otherwise you’re pretty much on your own. It was a lovely experience and we can’t wait to come back.Joseph B.

FAQ about our West Vancouver 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.
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 West Vancouver area range from $20.0 and $20.0. The least expensive dog field is Acres in the Forest. The most expensive dog field is Acres in the Forest. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
