55Lovely spot, spacious, beautiful spring flowers, friendly hosts, my dog really enjoyed his sniffs!
If your dog is reactive, be aware there may be multiple dogs and people just outside the fencing. Anne H.

55Repeat sniffer here! It's absolutely gorgeous here. Toby met a very nice fence doggo on our visit. Atika is an incredibly kind woman, and she is definitely a dog whisperer. Toby sometimes gets weird with people, but he immediately loved her! We're going to continue to come visit her place often. Adrienne H.

55This yard is great. There was one spot near a treehouse with a ladder that my dog for sure could climb and go over the fence, but he was more interested in smells of a new place. Great spot!J B.

55My two little dogs loved their first visit to The Shire and we hope to be back again and again! The space is a beautiful wooded meadow with so much to explore that my puppy didn’t even care about toys. ☀️🌷🌲🪻💕Monique S.

55Awesome little Sniff Spot. Definitely feels secure. I have a reactive girl and though there are some dogs in the distance that you can hear it really does feel secluded. There was plenty of shade, which is important for me on the hotter parts of the year as they get temperamental about the heat. We will definitely book again. Very convenient location and easy parking in their driveway. Booked at 10 minutes prior to us arriving and popped right on over and it was very easy. London L.

55Really great spot! Host is super responsive, and the area was perfect for us. Not muddy despite rain last night, lots of different areas to explore and smell the smells, plus the yard goes far back, which gave my dog lots of space to get her zoomies out! We heard some barking in the distance, and saw a neighbor dog briefly but the dog did not approach the fence and went inside after <5 minutes. Rebecca C.

FAQ About Northeast Portland 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.
