55If I could give this place 10 stars I would! The owner was very welcoming. The field was amazing with a nicely mown path around the perimeter. Fencing was secure enough for my D.A. GSD and tight enough that my 15lb terrier wasn't interested in trying to escape (not that she would unless there was something to chase). There are guardian livestock dogs along one section but we just leashed up and moved by quickly. It was the best walk I've had in ages. Shannon H.

55Wow, what an amazing time! This was our first SniffSpot ever, and my gosh, I wish we had found out about this long before our first visit. My dog absolutely loved the space and whose favorite form of enrichment is smelling, had a field day smelling all the smells and holes. The property was large, extremely secure and had a shaded spot. We will definitely be making weekly trips to Pepper Road! Thank you so much for opening up your home and land to us dog owners with reactive dogs! You’re a life saver🥹Stephanie R.

55Great space, our shepherd Shane loved it. Easy access/parking and lots of room to roam around. Several areas to sit/hangout and water available too. Look forward to coming back.....Patrick L.

55The perfect spot for my dog-reactive dog! And a great spot for 1st-time Sniffspotters. The space was big enough to roam but not too big to feel overwhelming for a dog who is not used to the pleasures of roaming offleash. Scotty had such a good time that he barely noticed the one distant bark we heard while there and seemed almost ready to start herding the cattle he saw several fields over. Thank you, Nancy, for giving us this safe space to enjoy!Sara S.

55Huge open space with beautiful views. Stocked with tennis balls, water & poop bags for the dogs plus chairs for humans. Both sunny and shady areas to choose from.
Clear instructions on how to get there and swift communication from the owner when I had a question.
Highly recommend this spot for a dog that wants to get out and run free!Cindy C.

55Our German shepherd, husky mix one year loved this place. After a good hour of sniffing, exploring, digging, playing with her toys, and running she came back a happy dog!
We will keep returning since it is so close to our house and easy to find.

55Very secure, private, well kept place for my dogs. I was worried about tall grasses and potential tick/ foxtail hazards but the area had none of that! Fresh water, shade, and the perfect amount of space. Morgan H.

FAQ about our Forestville dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. 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 place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Forestville area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 53 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 13 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
