55Always a great time at Sammy’s Safe Spot. My pup Griffey had a great time playing fetch and using the agility equipment. He had a ton of space to run his little heart out and got lots of good sniffs in. If you’re looking for a well maintained area to take your pups to, this is the place! As you can see from his huge smile, he had a great time! Cayla D.

55Great open gentle hillside to roam, great secure fencing, secure latching front gate, very clean, I didn't see a single poop! Blackberries on the fence line but easy to stay away from. Great place to throw a ball or stick around. Friendly and communicative host.Jennifer A.

55My pup & I loved this yard! It’s huge! Lots of room to run and play.
There were some “hiccups” at booking due to SniffSpot’s app lag; but hostess made up for it by letting us extend our stay.
Miranda does exist & is very nice. :-) Blue & I will definitely be coming back!JOSIE L.

55We had a great time here! Plenty of space to run and play. No trouble accessing the driveway, then closing the gate behind us. My dog explores every corner and does a perimeter check everywhere we go so we had a tough time staying on the east side of the driveway :( Thank you for sharing your yard!Lauren R.

55It was a very nice open space with thick grass, which kept it from being muddy in our rainy climate. A huge plus! The problem we had is that there is a large area with plants that have sticky burrs on them, which became embedded in our dog’s fur. They came out with a bath and some elbow grease, but we probably won’t go back because of this. Which is a bummer because we liked everything else about the property! Perhaps it’s seasonal?Jennifer and David M.

55Nice place to visit, is as described. I was a little worried about having to keep the dogs away from a certain part of the yard, and if any cats were seen, so I kept my dog on leash and just let it drag. It worked out fine, was a beautiful day, and a nice place to let my dogs sniff and explore.Becky M.

55Spectacular spot! Was easy to find and the kids LOVED running around and sniffing entire yard. They played so hard we couldn’t even stay our entire hour we booked. Completely fenced yard was nice and fencing around garden was appreciated. Jessie E.

55Today, more than any other time, I needed a little grace and Liz was amazing and flexible. We were running late and she let us complete our 30 minute time period. Liz has always been a kind and genuine human being and she does care a lot. Paola C.

FAQ about our Winlock dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash 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 city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs 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. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility 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.
