55This sniff spot was amazing! Ellen was welcoming and her property is set up thoughtfully and perfectly for this - secure fencing around a nice big pasture with varied terrain, including lots of sticks, gentle hills, a picnic table, disposal for poo, a water hose, and some community toys. We drove all the way from West Seattle and would do it again for a walk in this lovely field. Tons of great space for a game of chase or fetch, but my dogs mostly just wanted to stroll and sniff!Sergey K.

55My dogs and I absolutely loved this sniffspot. There was a large field for them to explore and a wooded area too for them to look for squirrels. The owner provides everything you need including toys, water, and clean up bags. I felt very secure with my pups on this property. We will definitely be back!Sergey K.

55This is our 2nd time to Country Pasture Getaway and have only great things to say. It's a very peaceful, quiet area and Ellen, the owner, is amazing. My dog is reactive to other dogs. Ellen is happy to move her dogs inside if needed but, on this visit we decided to try leaving them out. The property is sectioned off brilliantly so, even though my dog could see her dogs he did not mind at all. We spent the entire time running and playing and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly!Sergey K.

55This is our first visit and we had an amazing time! Ellen is absolutely lovely. Prior to our visit, I asked if she could keep her dogs inside for my dog-reactive dog Cooper and she was super accommodating. We never saw a single dog the entire time we were there (which was a little over an hour) and my boy had sooo much fun! He's not been off-leash much lately due to his reactivity and a recent illness so he was a bit clingy at first but little by little began to explore. He was so happy rolling in the grass & chasing balls (with the chuckit & balls that were provided) and I was totally relaxed knowing we were safe & secure with other dogs to deal with. So grateful to Ellen and her family for sharing their lovely property. Big thumbs up! We are already looking forward to our next visit!Sergey K.

55This was our first Sniffspot and I can’t imagine a better introduction. The host was friendly, walked us through where the water was, how to use the fences, where poo goes (assuming you use compostable bags), etc. The entire place is fenced, has some hills, some trees and is most open grass fields. My boyfriend, a friend and I each brought our dogs. They loved it! One of dogs is leash reactive and this was a lovely reprieve to sniff, play and roam with plenty of space for her to avoid the other dogs when she pleased. 2 of the dogs played fetch for the better part of an hour with absolute abandon. There is plenty of space to have them going in different directions and have it feel like they are the only dog there. We all left with plans to book again! If you are thinking about it, give it a go. A lovely drive our to a quiet, safe place for your dog to roam with you.Sergey K.

55We loved everything about this place. The woman who owns it is lovely and a genuine dog lover. There were toys and water—everything you need. And the space was wonderful. Our city dog reveled in so much space, so many areas to explore, and we loved that it was safe and dog-free for our reactive girl. Highly recommended.Sergey K.

55This is our second visit to Ellen's SniffSpot and I love it. It's a 25-minute drive from our home, which seems like a long trip, but the dogs love it so much. They excitedly jump out of the car and start running for 15 minutes straight. We spend the rest of our visit playing fetch and exploring.
The property is clean, I don't worry about forgotten poop or hazardous trash left behind. The privacy is worth the trip. My dogs don't do well at dog parks and I have one reactive dog. Finally, we can to take our dogs somewhere that is safe and fun.Sergey K.

55I loved this location and the owner was courteous and generously walked me through the amenities as it was my first time. This was the largest sniff spot we've visited, with a slight slope on the property and some wooded spots. My runner had plenty of room to play fetch and my sniffer was in heaven. One thing to note especially with two quick dogs it wasn't hard to lose sight of them if they duck into a wooded area or leave me behind at the bottom of the slope. The outer property of the sniff spot was fully fenced so escape wasn't a concern so much as I didn't want them to leave a mess behind. So if recall is an issue keep that in mind. If you bring compostable poop bags you can dispose on the property otherwise be prepared to pack out their mess. They have dogs which they were generously willing to put out of sight if needed, otherwise they were separated by multiple fences. They were visible but far enough away that even my dog whose fearful of large dogs was not concerned. We will be going back for sure!Sergey K.

55We had a blast at Country Pastures today! The space was fully secured and spacious with lots of ground for our pooch to explore. He had tons of fun and was totally pooped after. We also got to meet the friendly resident wolfhounds, which was a pleasant surprise 😊Sergey K.

55My dog and I had a very enjoyable experience at Ellen’s place. Ellen was very welcoming and informative. The property is large and I felt secure walking my dog around. The area is well kept and my dog enjoyed both running and sniffing! My dog loves other dogs and people but gets overwhelmed at the dog park so this is perfect. I highly recommend this Sniffspot!Sergey K.

55The pups had an app amazing time at the country pasture getaway! It is spacious, safe, with different areas for exploring! There is running water, and if you have multiple pups you can even drive in for ease of letting them out. Host was helpful & thoughtful. Thank you!Sergey K.

55I have four dogs and one of them is reactive. Walking my dogs is a nightmare and taking them to the dog park isn't an option. We're fortunate to live on 5 acres, however, dogs need stimulation and SniffSpot gives me the opportunity to allow my dogs to go somewhere new. And they had a BLAST!!! We spent 45 minutes walking around and the dogs slept for more than 2 hours when we got home. I will definitely be returning. It's a slice of doggy heaven.
Someone met me when we arrived and showed me the ropes of the place. I brought toys, but there were toys available. The property owners had a group of GORGEOUS Irish Wolfhounds, but they had a separate yard that wasn't accessible (or visible) while we explored the area, so my dogs weren't distracted. The property is fully fenced and safe. I never lost track of my dogs.
This service is worth every penny. I paid for four dogs, peace of mind, and a stress free hour of walking with my dogs - the first in years.

55We've been to Ellen's spot 4 times, can't wait to go back again! The pasture is separated from Ellen's dogs (very lively bunch!) and is fully double fenced and very secure. My pup has a blast running around. Also great spot to practice off leash commands, recall etc. Perfect for us!Sergey K.

Frequently asked questions about Snohomish dog parks
Are there dog parks in Snohomish for reactive dogs?
Yes! Snohomish has 194 private dog parks specifically designed for reactive, anxious, or dog-selective pets. Unlike public dog parks where unexpected encounters can trigger your reactive dog, Sniffspot offers completely private bookings. That means only you and your dogs will be there. We enforce 30-minute buffers between visits so you won't run into other park users when arriving or leaving. This makes Snohomish Sniffspots perfect for reactive dogs who need safe off-leash exercise.
How many private dog parks are in Snohomish?
Snohomish has 194 private Sniffspot locations ranging from cozy backyard spaces to expansive properties spanning 40+ acres. You'll find fully fenced dog parks, small dog parks, and dog water parks options, each offering complete privacy during your reserved time. Browse listings to compare sizes, amenities, fencing, and reviews from other Snohomish dog owners.
Are Snohomish dog parks friendly for all dog types?
Absolutely! Snohomish Sniffspot locations work for every type of dog: puppies learning socialization, senior dogs needing gentle exercise, small dogs who feel safer away from large breeds, high-energy dogs requiring space to run, and yes, reactive or anxious dogs needing privacy. Because bookings are completely private, you can customize the experience to your dog's specific needs—whether that's careful puppy introductions or stress-free exercise for nervous dogs.
Will there be other dogs at Snohomish dog parks?
No, that's what makes Sniffspot different from public dog parks! We only allow one booking at a time, and host dogs must be kept away during your visit. When you book a Snohomish dog park, you have the entire space to yourself (plus any dog-owning friends you invite). This privacy is crucial for reactive dogs, puppies in training, or any dog who needs space from other animals.
What makes Snohomish dog parks safe for anxious dogs?
Snohomish Sniffspot locations provide controlled, predictable environments without the chaos of public dog parks. There are no aggressive dogs, no inattentive owners, and no unexpected encounters that could traumatize anxious or fearful dogs. All guests must have vaccinated dogs (or titers), and hosts maintain clean spaces. 93% of Sniffspot reviews are 5 stars, with many highlighting how safe their reactive or anxious dogs felt.
Can puppies use Snohomish dog parks?
Absolutely! Snohomish dog parks are ideal for puppy socialization because they provide controlled, distraction-free environments. Puppies can practice recall, build confidence, and explore without the overwhelming chaos of public dog parks. Just ensure your puppy has age-appropriate vaccinations before visiting any Snohomish Sniffspot.
Are Snohomish dog parks good for small dogs?
Yes! Many Snohomish Sniffspot hosts mark their spaces as "small dog friendly," meaning they're appropriately sized for toy breeds and small dogs. Unlike public dog parks where small dogs risk being overwhelmed or injured by larger breeds, Snohomish private bookings give your small dog the entire space to themselves. Look for secure fencing with minimal gaps and hosts who understand petite pup needs.
What are the requirements for Snohomish dog parks?
All dogs must have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. Each Snohomish host may have additional requirements listed on their booking page. Most welcome all breeds, sizes, and temperament levels, including reactive dogs who can't safely visit traditional public dog parks.
