55We loved the huge area to run and explore! There is plenty of shade in various locations created by big old trees!! The ground has a lot of soft sand which is excellent. As much as my dog explored the perimeter he did not escape, it’s well fenced! The clean freshwater and toys and balls are so appreciated! We want to return! Thank you for sharing this great place with our dogs and giving them a safe place to be dogs!!!Gina R.

55We really enjoy this spot. It's a great place to let our pup sniff and run freely. Nice shade to sit in and plenty of fresh water for puppy. Melody S.

55Lovely spot, plenty of shade for my dog to sit in and myself. He had a great time roaming around, I think it was a bit hot for him to run around much (my bad I didn’t expect it to get this hot so fast) but he still had a great time glad I found this place!Irena H.

55This place was perfect. Mowed field with some trees and shady spots. Water and bowls were available as were a number of balls. The space was large, clean, and convenient. Chris T.

55My dogs had a great time sniffing and running around! I was a little worries about the fence but it did keep all 4 of my dogs contained. I'll definitely be visiting again :) Fiona T.

55This place was beyond amazing! Not only did it provide a safe place for my dog, it also gave me a place to relax and enjoy the country side. I don’t trust any dog parks out there, and this spot allowed my dog to roam free without worry of any other dog trying to attack or scare her away.
The area is very clean, with plenty of spots for shade and an area to get water. It’s extremely easy to find and is located in a beautiful scenic area. If you get a chance to meet the owner please do! She’s awesome and very friendly.
Sniffspot is new to me and I would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat. If you don’t enjoy taking your dogs to a dog park and want a place all to yourself this is the place for you!Elliot R.

55I live in the city of San Francisco and this spot was well worth the drive - plus there's a fresh strawberry stand on the way. There's access to water (I brought my own bowl) and shade. Rico had a great time - he's not a ball chaser - he was all about sniffing, chasing birds, and just relaxing. I will definitely be coming back here again - it was totally relaxing for me as well.Annie A.

55Great for reactive dogs, lots of room to run around and completely fenced in. Also the host has poop bags and tennis balls and chuck it’s for use in addition to some water bowls by the faucet. Not a note for the host but to other guests - please pick up your dog’s poop. I picked up a few poops that were not my dog’s the last time I was there. Suzanne S.

FAQ about our El Sobrante 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 El Sobrante area range from $12.0 and $12.0. The least expensive dog field is Bell River Ranch. The most expensive dog field is Bell River Ranch. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
