55OMG!!! This is such a beautiful spot! My littles had the best time ever, I’ve got Cairn terriers so this was an absolute oasis for them. We were here for an hour and a half and they didn’t stop except to drink water. The fencing was safe, easy to walk through, and I had a great time as well. Thank you so much for offering this place. Also my girl can’t be in the sun to much, so this was awesomely appreciated!Karen L.

55Awesome spot! Lots of elevation changes and ferns for dogs to sniff around in. If you bring a ball, bring more than one though because there are lots of spots where it could get lost. I'll definitely be back, thanks!Chuck M.

55This is my favorite sniff spot! Very secure, even for smaller dogs. So much space for my dogs to run around. Water provided. There’s always extra balls & chuck it sticks. I’ve been twice so far and my dogs always leave absolutely exhausted. Definitely recommend! Julia A.

55As a first time comer to this spot, I would say to be prepared with plenty of treats and water. Not only for you but also for your pup. Overall this was a great experience and my partner and I enjoyed practicing recall with our 6 month old pup. Would definitely recommend this spot. Nickie G.

55Great, private spot! Fully fenced, we felt very secure with three large (GSD) dogs. There’s a narrow trail that runs around the perimeter of the fence in a loop, and the center is mostly ferns, trees, etc. lots of good things for the pups to sniff and climb. Toyo G.

I’ve been bringing my 2 small dogs to Denise’s property regularly for almost a year now, and we absolutely love it. The space is clean, spacious, and secure — perfect for dogs to run and explore. Denise is a thoughtful and conscientious host, and we always feel welcome. We look forward to continuing our visits for a long time to come! Jen D.

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. 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.
