Location

Description

Please keep Sniffspot clean and pick up after your pups. Dog poop bags are supplied. Working farm and private duck lake on Sauvie Island. Perfect 3+ acre spot for dog parties, work off leash, practice recall, minimum distractions. Ideal for two or more dogs who like rowdy play, plenty of space to disengage and reengage. Livestock may be in adjacent pastures.

Cleanliness

99% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

(1) Cocklebur seeds may show up in the grass by the wetland. (2) This is a farm, so there may be proximity to livestock. (3) Farms in winter can be wet and muddy. (4) The island is a migratory bird wildlife refuge, so “byproducts” from sand hill cranes, herons, geese, ducks, are inevitable. (5) Recently we have had some ticks found so make sure your pup is up to date on anti-tick. (6) Additionally, reactive and working dogs may not be able to share fence line with livestock, and unless you request otherwise, livestock may be adjacent. (7) Please note, this is a working farm community as well as wildlife refuge. There is a muddy wetland, there may be farm equipment, heavy trucks on rural highway, neighbors dogs, livestock, deer and other wildlife- evaluate your dog’s bandwidth to create the best experience.

Extras

Extra info$0

Ideal location for off leash training, liberty work, recall and relationship building. Also ideal for two or more rowdy dogs, plenty of space to disengage and re engage. This is a farm, so winters can be wet and muddy.

Port a pottie$0

We have added a Honeybucket for convenience and larger gatherings, so feel free to bring your friends. We are Pro Portapotty Party🤹‍♀️

Agility in Arbor Lodge!

Fully Fenced
0.06 acres

Lowkey, small yard in Arbor Lodge. For anybody looking to clown around with some agility equipment, play with high-quality dog toys, and watch their kiddo get the zoomies, book with us! We have reinforced wooden fencing with chicken wire. Neighbours to left (facing house) have no dog, neighbours to right have a medium sized dog who can be vocal but is rarely outside. We have set up a double barrier so fence fighting can be avoided - we have never had this happen but like to be cautious anyway, and give guests peace of mind. This is in a residential neighbourhood so keep that in mind. A-frame, weave poles, and many agility jumps to create your own agility course map. Also, by the stump and along the fence line with ivy your dogs are welcome to dig in the dirt. Just please do not let pups tear up my grass. Thank you!

Nature in the City Private Dog Park

Fully Fenced
1.5 acres

Nature in the City is a unique Private Dog Park that is 1 1/2 acres of beautiful natural land with varied landscapes. Step out of the city and into our natural setting that features different areas including 2 grassy fields perfect for fetch w/discs, ropes, or toys, (balls are not best here due to all of the surrounding bushes), a couple of forested areas, several nature trails for hiking adventures, and a wetland-like area with a healthy little creek that’s a hit with the pups. They can wade, cool off, and drink from the natural water. Your dogs will have so many different sniffing and secure off-leash exploring opportunities here! Our spot is so much more than just a fenced field! The area is diverse and so much fun for your dog(s)! This is a great spot to work on recall. There are a couple areas on the trails that are a little steep, there’s a trail where you have to walk over logs 🪵, and the little creek has to be stepped over in places, so people with limited mobility may have issues in these areas of the spot. There are two bridges over the creek, and we will be adding one more bridge at the far west end of the spot soon. There are plenty of spaces and trails that are suitable for all abilities. If you’re looking for a basic fenced field to play chuck-it then this probably isn’t your spot. We are continually working on our property, so every time you visit you will see improvements! We provide a rain/sun shelter with 4 foldable chairs (message us in advance if you need more chairs and we’ll put them out for you), and lots of supplies including dog toys & balls, poop bags, hand sanitizer, natural bug spray, sunscreen, wipes, hand towels, first aid kit, and a cornhole yard game. We also provide snacks and beverages for humans and doggos! Located outside are 2 zero-gravity reclining chairs, a kids size picnic table, a round metal table w/umbrella & 4 metal chairs, and fresh drinking water for your pups. There are open areas with sun ☀️, and there is shade all day due to many large trees. Our property is VERY secure with 5 to 6 ft fencing. We walk the fence line regularly and check to make sure it’s secure. We are located close-in on the Westside of Vancouver one mile from I-5 on 78th Street in West Hazel Dell near Felida. *It gets muddy in areas when it has been wet/raining outside. We have wood chips along trails and in muddy areas which help a lot! Come prepared so you enjoy your visit. **We recently added 6 solar flood lights in the main field area for those of you who visit after dark. They provide subtle light at the entryway, main field, and the shelter for about 4-5 hrs after it gets dark outside. If you you want to explore the trails after dark we recommend putting a collar light on your dog(s), and that you bring headlamps and flashlights 🔦. ***We recently added a small bridge over the middle section of the creek! We will be adding another bridge over the west end of the creek soon! We look forward to hosting you and your pups! 🐶 Thank you!
