55Wonderful spot to explore. Very clean! The stream was so neat to watch all the fish, too. Our pup had so much fun sniffing in all the sections of thicket and jumping through the creek. We played with the chuck-it and I even used the binoculars to watch some birds. Loved having the option to close her into either yard with us, so we could keep a closer eye on her. And the long grasses at the back made it easy to keep her away from the fence where the neighbor horses resided on the other side. 10/10 would come again!Coty S.

55The best sniffspot we’ve been at. Our dogs had a blast running, sniffing, hiding, going across the creek on the tree trunks and walking in the water.
The only downside is the price of course, which is the most expensive we’ve had to pay so far and which will reduce how often we can come. Sylvie D.

55Very nicely maintained huge fenced spot. The creek is really wonderful and we spent the whole time playing in it.
I really appreciated the extra touches like water for both humans and dogs and the toys as well.
The shady picnic area was great too. Plenty of area to play fetch, explore and sniff and splash around. Signs are very clear and helpful. Danielle W.

55I took my four dogs (two 13-month-olds, a 5-year-old, and a 16-year-old) to this Sniffspot, and it was a great experience. The host was friendly, and the instructions were easy to follow with clear signs. The park was clean and well-maintained, with fresh water, toys, and a Chuck-It for fetch. My dogs loved the creek that runs along the park, and they spent a lot of time playing in the water. The trails through the tall grass were a nice touch, and they had fun searching for balls after I threw them. The uneven terrain was perfect for my senior dog, who walked around at his own pace and even waded in the creek. The fencing and landscaping kept them safely in the enclosed area, which was ideal with four dogs. Everyone came home happy and tired, and I’ll definitely be back.Mike and Eileen R.

55Best day ever for Lola! She had so much fun splashing in the creek, running around and trying to find gophers. Fresh water, poo bags, even binoculars if you wanna bird watch is provided. We saw the horses and she gave ‘em a few barks but didn’t go near them. We passed the chicken coop and she wasn’t interested. Bonus points for the music playing as you enter but you can’t hear it when you’re near the creek. Very peaceful dog park. Sharise H.

55Such a cool place with tons of things for dogs to explore! The creek is great, it was just deep enough that the dog felt like he’d had a genuine swim, but it never went over his head if they aren’t a strong swimmer. The yard had tall bush within the mowed lawn which created fun runways along with tall grass. My dogs also got to see the chickens that were in their range and saw the horses since they had come over to the fence line to check us out; I enjoyed and appreciated the chance to expose them to things they hadn’t seen before (respecting the animals and our distance of course). The owner works very hard on this spot and even gave us flowers and fresh eggs to purchase on our way out<3Amiya M.

FAQ about our Poulsbo dog beaches
Are dog beaches safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. 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 park users so you can find the perfect safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find dog beaches near me?
There are 3 dog beaches in the Poulsbo area. The most popular dog beach is Pig Beach (near Port Ludlow). You can browse all of our dog beaches here.
How do I know if a dog beach works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog beach sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
No. We only allow one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits. So when you book a Sniffspot park you have the entire place to yourself and your dog-owning friends if you invite them. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings so you will not run into other park patrons when coming or leaving.
If you are planning an amazing dog beach party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
