55This is a great spot to let the pups out for a run! I have a 12year old, 9 month old, and 4 month old. They could all play at their own pace! Definitely going again. Not muddy which was a bonus! Dani B.

Denise's 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Bellingham | Sniffspot
55The best spot thus far I have found for my husky. You can see a lot of care taken to cover all potential escape routes, tall fence lines to prevent Olympic high jumping, some agility tires, nice huge area, benches for parents to sit, quiet, and overall my girl loves it. Julie B.

55Nice spot, long straight open area surrounded by woods. Our dog isn't great with recall yet so we just kept him on a long leash, but for a dog who's better behaved this is a good spot with lots of room to run and exploreCormac A.

FAQ About Bellingham 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.

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.
