55The sniffspot area was great and exactly as pictured. But to be honest we did not make it inside. There was a service going on and people going in and out of the tool shed with wheelbarrows all right next to the fence and gate to get into the spot. Our dogs would have definitely barked and we did not want to disturb the church goers. We will try again, next time making sure there are no activities.Jessica P.

55Very nice well fenced, shaded spot. Our dogs had a very good time playing. It is big enough for the dogs to play, but we are both to see them except for one small spot behind the building.

55The yard is shaded and much cooler than the surrounding area so my dog could play longer safely. There is grass, dirt, concrete, and tan bark. There is a gorgeous overhanging avocado tree and a couple avocados were in the yard. If your dog eats random things on the ground, you might want to do a scan first or pick a different spot. (Avocados are toxic to dogs.) There are some foxtail grasses but 10 minutes of weeding could nullify it. It doesn't overpower the space and it is native afterall. We did see wildlife! We saw lizards and beetles which were very cool. My dog had a fun time and it's such a cool hidden spot. I wish there was a bowl or water jugs kept inside the fence and might leave some myself for future visits and other people. My dog is XL (125 lbs) and this spot did not feel cramped. It is secure and I would recommend it. Also very kid friendlyTatum H.

55Perfect spot! So many smells leading up and inside the area! It was clean, private, easy to find and quite the fun little adventure for my reactive bully breed. Coming back again with a friend!Alyssa R.

55Clean and quiet spot and full of yummy smells!! A little tucked away, (which is great for privacy and dogs who get distracted! but a little hard to find the first time out.) They preemptively provided helpful instructions and were very friendly! Emily E.

FAQ about our Ben Lomond 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.
