55I am doggysitting 3 females dogs and I wanted to take them to do some extra exercise and since they are very reactive dogs, nothing better than this huge beautiful place. Mandy was very kind to answered my multiple questions and even offered me a towel to clean the dogs and told me to take my time, wish I was so grateful because putting a harness to three different dogs with different personalities takes a lot of time. I'd loved that I did not felt presure to hurry. The girls had fun at the pond and they run as much as they could. I will probably come back with my own dog because this is a great place for dogs to have that extra exercise for the week. Also, everything was clean and no growing grass on the path. Leidy H.

55This sniff spot was amazing for me and my German shepherd. The owner was very well prepared and had toys for the dogs to play with. There were plenty of areas to explore, including a pond, a yard, and trails in a field (that were well maintained). My dog had a blast running around and sniffing everything. The yard was large enough to play fetch with him, and he also enjoyed the pond. The spot was very private, and the owner was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely come back to this sniff spot and recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and safe place for their dog.

55Amazing sniff spot! We’ve been to many and this is one of the best. Mandy was such an awesome host & super responsive. Beautiful property! My dogs did try to eat some dead fish from the pond and they may have managed to sneak a few but dogs will be dogs 🤦🏻♀️ possible upset tummy later would still be well worth the AMAZING enrichment! So many smells, sights, sounds & tons of area to run and run and just be dogs! We will be back 🙌🏼 thank you for sharing your property with us for a little while 😊Haley A.

55My dogs loved it! Definitely worth the drive, my two dogs were exhausted by the end. I found it very secure, one of my dogs is an escape artist but I kept him on a long leash, and he didn’t try anything with all the space around anyways. 👍Natalia R.

55This Sniffspot was so fun, my dog enjoyed her time thoroughly! There was plenty of room in the main fenced area for our little cattle dog to run and chase her toys across the property. Now, the 8 acres is fantastic, but for Pepper she would probably find a way to escape, but otherwise, everything remained secure. There is a sign when you arrive that marks it as a sniff spot, which is fantastic in case you fear you may miss it. The hostess also put out toys for us like frisbees, tennis balls, rope toys, SPF, hand sanitizer, AND treats! We really enjoyed our time here! Thank you for everything, Mandy!Alexa R.

55First time using Sniffspot! Found this property and knew it would be perfect to take my German Shepherd. There is a large pond where he spent most of his time swimming and there are trails throughout the property. My GSD had the best time at this place, looking forward to going again.Brenna P.

55This review is long overdue considering how often I’ve come to this spot. This spot is perfection. I’ve got 3 large dogs of my own and a “grand puppy” pit bull that I occasionally dog sit. One is an escape artist but I never have to worry that he will figure out how to get free. Unlike other sniff spots that might be a large yard or pasture without many interesting visuals, this one is as visually interesting as it is large with plenty of space. My dogs love running the different trails through the trees, playing in the pond, exploring the fields and running full bore as often as they can. This place is also refreshing and peaceful for us humans! Seriously, it’s GORGEOUS. Mandy is a wonderful host who has thought of everything you might need while you’re there. The fact that’s she’s not booked out 25/7 is a travesty, but selfishly I’m so glad she’s not. I drive 40 mins there and back passing other sniff spots to go here, if that tells you anything. Take your dogs here…..you won’t regret it. Melanie S.

FAQ about our Alvarado dog hiking trails
Are dog hiking trails safe?
While public 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 a city or county park. With a Sniffspot off-leash area 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 place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.
How do I know if a dog hiking trail works for my dog?
Sniffspot provides the tools to find the ideal spot. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing 6 feet tall and distractions, to find a dog park with trails that works for your dog. You can also filter by size if you are looking for a certain acre park, an expansive off-leash dog park. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog hiking trails. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog hiking trails where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Since you are looking for trails, make sure to check photos to see if it the spot has flat trails or gnarly trails. You can also browse by specific amenities, if you are looking for a view or a beach, for instance, or other activities or fun features. You can check whether the spot has off or on street parking, the regular park hours, whether it has paved trails or a modern restroom.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog hiking trail?
In order to hike the trails, we require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot hiking trail 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.
