55Fantastic! My dogs loved racing around the pastures, tromping through puddles, sniffing for critters in the taller grass, pretending like they were their Scottish ancestors. I might have also enjoyed stomping through the mud and puddles like a kid in my rain boots, but I won't say. It's a farm, so there's poop and bones and uneven ground - the best kind of place to let a dog be a dog. There were guns (or similar) going off periodically, so take that into account if that's an issue. Tonya K.

55This spot is AMAZING! My dogs had so much fun following all the scent trails, checking out the LGD's leftovers, running up and down the pastures through mud (and yes, cow poop!), and generally had a total blast. No, this isn't a pristine park like yard but that makes it even more fun and interesting for the dogs! Definitely already one of my top favorites worth the almost hour long drive, and we will be back!
The entrance was easy to find with SniffSpot signage, parking was not a problem directly off the gravel road, and the fencing is quite secure. Happy humans, happy Cattle Dogs. Sarah S.

5520/10 this spot is amazing! A true gem.
We had no issues finding the spot; GPS took us directly there and we saw the clearly labeled Sniffspot signs.
Throw some bodysuits on your dogs if you’re trying to keep them clean, and let them go wild! Can’t wait to visit again :) Summer M.

55Pasture experience was fantastic - everything was frozen so mud wasn't an issue, lots of things to sniff and plenty of room to run. Like other posters mentioned, gunshots were frequent and there was a person with their dog walking with gravel road when leaving (we were already in the car, but our reactive dog freaked out anyway). Overall though I'd go back!Rachel B.

55The field was wonderful for our dogs with so much space to run free!
Everything was frozen over, but not slippery at all with good shoes and with the grass poking through the ice. Our pups actually had a blast learning how to run across the frozen over water and chase after treats and ice pieces we would slide out for them; great confidence building!
Some stray bones, I'm assuming from wildlife having eaten something in the field, but they were old and our dogs didn't bother with them at all!
Our Google maps took us directly to the entrance gate and it was clearly marked with a clearing to the side for parking. Securely fenced, even for our little dog, though there was maybe a spot or two she could have squeezed through if she really wanted, but we had 0 issues.
We will be booking again in the future!S B.

55The dogs loved all the space and it’s very convenient to have different pastures to explore or close off. As expected from the description and previous reviews, it was muddy (which the dogs loved) and there was some cow poop and left over bones (which the dogs also loved). We did see a person and dog walking by, but you can easily close off the pasture that would allow dogs to rush the fence if needed. We had a great time and will definitely be back!Rachel M.

55HUGE space with gates as an option to break up the space. Some areas were very muddy or wet, so be prepared to wear boots and clothes that might get sloshed on (from your pup). There was a water trough in the first field area, granted my dog kept drinking out of the puddles smh. There is a little creek/stream that flows through! Varying levels of the pasture’s grass/greenery. Your dog will get dirty, so bring spare water and a towel to rinse off their muddy paws and belly. I live in the city and never have had such a grand space to have my dog off leash (we use long line anytime in public parks) and know she is secured!!!! We will be back and worth the hour and a half drive. If you come from Seattle or south really, I recommend adding a 15-30 minute buffer time in your commute. I had a 20 minute detour which went into our booking time, but thankfully Laura could accommodate pushing back our reservation time to get maximum value!!! KJ S.

55This is a beautiful spot. Really huge open spaces for your dogs to run as far and as fast as they can.
Bring boots and towels for sure- the first part of the pastures is very wet and muddy. Once you get through to the higher part it is dry.
It was incredibly quiet and private. We heard a dog barking but it was obviously very far away and we never saw a person or dog the whole time.
It looked to be a working pasture and so a few bones were around here and there. But the dogs weren't interested.... they were having too much fun chasing each other.Danielle W.

55Great Sniffspot!! Our dog had a blast! He ran his legs off. Love being able to stay in one fenced area, or use the gate into the next. It was very easy to find and well signed.
Some muddy areas, but not a big deal at all. Definitely wear welly boots and bring some towels to wipe muddy paws afterwards.
I think this is our new favourite spot! Excellent!!! Alison T.

55Lots of room to run! We explored all 3 fields, and Clay had a great time!
Be aware that this was likely an active pasture relatively recently, so you will run into some poo (a note if you happen to have a poo eater), and boots are certainly a must this time of year!
Overall it was just what we needed to explore someplace new that offered plenty of running room for the husky. Katy B.

55This is by far the most fun my dog has had a sniffspot yet! SO much room to run and sniff and lots of mud and puddles to jump in. It was easy to find and we will definitely be coming back soon! There were quite a few bones and piles of manure, not a problem for us, but if your dog is a bit cheeky maybe something to consider. Clara N.

FAQ about our Mount Vernon fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Mount Vernon?
There are 122 fully fenced dog parks in the Mount Vernon area. The most popular fully fenced park is . You can browse all of our fully fenced dog parks here.
How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
