55What a fantastic hour our pups had! We did too since we didn’t have to worry about them being off leash since the entire 25 acres is fenced! A spotless environment for the pups to run and sniff. Water stations are setup and the pups & us appreciated that. I can’t imagine a better spot for the pups to run freely. Barb met us at the gate and we got to know her and everything about the property. We even discussed some dog training with her. We will definitely be back as often as we can.Melanie T.

55You can pretend that you have your own private forest with a crew that maintains the trails for you! If you have any thoughts that you'd like to forget, this is the place to go.
My dog was ecstatic and we had a blast watching her run non-stop at full tilt and hunt with abandon. The terrain, trees, and vegetation gave her an excellent workout.
Much work has been done to make the trails easy to negotiate by constant upkeep and by using straw and other materials for great footing.
Despite just finishing record-breaking rain, it was still good to go. It was the day after the atmospheric river flooded Whatcom County (rain stopped yesterday afternoon; flooding and many roads closed) and it was no problem to visit. We luckily don't live near closed roads.
We were removed from everyday suburbia to a green, quiet, private retreat. The many interesting and winding trails over undulating terrain made for constant interest. Traversing the paths and negotiating the various water features keep your attention from wandering.
At the moment there are some pools of water that can be passed through within just several paces. Rubber calf boots worked well. If you don't want to wade, you can go around, or, reverse for just a bit and follow yet another trail. The rest was wet trail covered with leaves. At this time of year and under these current conditions, you'll want boots, preferably waterproof.
What a great escape. We'll be back.C W.

55Super super amazing place! Wonderful wide open feild to run around and practice recalls before heading into the trails! Trails were very well "hayed" to keep people from getting muddy shoes as well as fun little bridges. However there the dogs can still get to the muddier area so bring a towel...I may have forgotten one hahaha. Chest with water bottles for people and a little station for water for dogs. Super amazing and would LOVE LOVE to come again!Elizabeth E.

55This place is absolutely amazing! We brought our Aussies and they loved it. Open fields for running and a great trail in back. And it is well-maintained by the owners and the people who go there. You can tell that making sure the dogs have a good experience is a priority. It is a treasure. Our dogs loved it. And we will be back again for sure! Erin J.

55I brought my two whippets who love to run (really fast) to Barb’s property for 90 minutes. My dogs were ecstatic and ran like fools for the entire time! They couldn’t believe the freedom they had which Barb had made possible with secure fencing. We spent most of the time on the wooded trails which were left natural with the addition of some hay spread in the muddier areas and nice wooden bridges. I appreciated the discreet trail markers and occasional maps. Complimentary bottles of water were a nice touch, water and bowls for the dogs, occasional benches and camp chairs. The field was somewhat uneven so I didn’t use the Chuck-it to play ball but my dogs made the most of it by racing top speed through what must have seemed like an endless space to condo dogs. There were also poop bags supplied and trash cans for depositing them.

55Another excellent adventure! Barb keeps everything so tidy, safe and well maintained. There is a little bit of mud on some of the trails but plenty of bridges and straw to manage it. She provides a water station as well as convenient trash cans for poop bags. The field and woods are truly a doggy paradise. Especially during quarantine, it's incredible to be able to use this beautiful property, knowing my dogs and I are safe and worry free. Thank you!MARY A.

Their favorite part is the forest area where they can hop around through the trails. Water and bowl provided at the front of the trails. Always such happy tired pups after our time here.

55Had a great time! Will be back soon. Everything you could need is provided. We spent the first half playing fetch and the second half wandering around the wooded area. It was wonderful and my dogs had a great time. The dogs living on the property alerted at our arrival but were otherwise angelic and didn’t bother us at all. Thanks! See you again soon. Lauren V.

55Really cool spot! Barb is such an accommodating host and was very flexible with us. The property is awesome....a huge fully fenced wide open field and a woodsy area down at the far end. It was very easy to figure out where to go, although my Cooper did lead the way and the first time we ended up going into the muddy areas of the woods. If you want to avoid mud, my suggestion is to look for the entrance to the woods more on the right side. You'll know you've found it because you will come upon a bench and a couple coolers with supplies. Barb left drinks and a variety of beverages along with a whole bunch of other supplies....pretty much anything you will need during your visit. We drove a long way to visit and it was worth it! Thanks Barb! Really appreciate your hospitality!! ♥Susan D.

FAQ about our West Vancouver dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the West Vancouver area range from $4.0 and $20.0. The least expensive dog field is A & C's Private Dog Park In Surrey. The most expensive dog field is Daynakin Large & Giant Breed Dog Care. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
