55We had a great day! It was our reactive pupper’s birthday and we wanted to let him explore and play somewhere we didnt have to worry about people making him anxious and it was perfect! He loved getting free reign of the trails and the stream was the highlight of his life!! Chasing lizards and frogs and splashing around for hours! The humans had a lovely day too! The creek is a perfect, cool, little spot to relax and enjoy being outside. Thank you for letting us enjoy your little oasis for a day.Amy K.

55David and Alma are very accommodating and responsive. They have very detailed instructions for us to find the place, and the farm is AMAZING. We were taken aback when we arrived by the stream. It’s clean and well taken care of and you really feel immersed in nature. My dog had a blast and was black out tired on our way home. It was an incredible experience both for me and my dogs. Can’t wait till we come back!!!!Priscila D.

55This was my first ever sniff spot and was honestly an amazing experience! We hiked to the stream and it was definitely worth it, a nice and quiet place. Next time I’ll make sure to bring a book and relax on the hammock they have while my dog can room around to his hearts content! Amazing directions, nice and clear paths and overall a very nice place! I was worried at first with my pup but he enjoyed sniffing and peeing on all the trees! This is definitely a place to go to!Selina B.

55AWESOME. Spent an hour and a half at the creek and LOVED it. So private and peaceful. My American Shepherd and I cant wait to return! My dog can’t walk far so we arranged for a ride down to the creek, and Jayden, our guide and driver, was WONDERFUL. Thanks Jayden, you made us feel so welcomed, and we really did have a lot of fun. :) Alma, you have a magical place here. Thanks again! Terri T.

55This is a great adventure, and Alma and David did everything they could to make it carefree and fun (and they succeeded!). Though it was a hot day - being among the trees and in the creek made it at least 10 degrees cooler. My dog enjoyed running around and playing in the creek. We're definitely coming back.Marilyn P.

55I came once again ! I thought I’d know how to get there then ended up going with google maps but went completely around the way she said! But that was my fault even with it being my fault they offered me to stay an extra 30 min! So thoughtful since I was STRESSED. My boys loved it even more this time I have a sharpei that never gets in water ! He loved getting wet and it was so peaceful with a rough week we had such an amazing visit! Highly recommend Amanda M.

55Our dogs always have a blast here! This was our first time renting the stream hike as an add on to the avocado grove, and it was awesome. The stream area is beautiful and the water is running and clear. The trails are well maintained - found only a few avocados dropped on the ground, in case anyone is concerned about their dogs getting into them, and I wasn’t worried about it at all. Would highly recommend wearing hiking boots if going down to the stream as that portion of the trail is steeper. Kristiene G.

FAQ about our Fountain Valley 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 Fountain Valley area range from $5.0 and $50.0. The least expensive dog field is Vi's Private Dog Park In Menifee. The most expensive dog field is Sara's Private Dog Park In Santa Ana. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
