55If I could put 10 starts trust me this place deserves it! A doggie paradise, the owners are an absolute delight. We were unsure if Bruno want it to use the pool and to our surprise he did. We looked like proud parents seeing him swim. 1000% recommended Angelica V.

55This was Bean’s first visit to. He’s in love with the space. He chose his own toy to place with, wandered and sniffed and then—just ran around the space over and over. So happy for them to have that! 5/5Aliya K.

55Penny and I had an amazing time here! We got a little welcome treat, ran around in the yard, played with some toys, and had a blast swimming in the gorgeous pool! Everything was clearly marked and directions were easy to follow. The life jackets for pups of all sizes were so cute and my girl loved being able to use one. Leslie was so wonderful with communication as well. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you! Leigh Ann F.

55We had a great time at Leslie’s wags. The host was very welcoming and greeted us when we arrived. She has a welcome treat for my pup. The place is so clean, large space for my pup to run around and play fetch. It was my pups first time to swim and she was a bit unsure but was able to paddle a few times. The pool is very clean and well maintained. We will surely be back for more and highly recommend this place. Larissa L.

55What an amazing day we had at Leslie’s Sniffspot! Our dog, Shea had the best time and I’m so happy we were able to give her this experience. This is her first time in a pool and she loved it. The yard is gorgeous and so spacious. She had the zoomies upon entering and was so happy to be taking in all the area to run around in. Leslie was so kind and thoughtful! Shea had a treat waiting for her and anything you could think of from water, first aid kits, sunblock, etc. was made available. We can’t wait to come back and visit. Thank you so much for giving my apartment dog a WONDERFUL day. Martha A.

55Pool was clean, warm, and had ample toys/accessories. Entrance into/out of the pool was not very easy for my 50lb dog as there is no ramp or wide steps. I eventually managed to make a makeshift ramp with some of the floats (maybe that's what they are there for primarily?). Nice big yard to relax and run around in. Definitely plan to return. Roman M.

55Reina and Dave had the best time today, despite the rain! They used every inch of the yard to run and chase each other. They took a dip in the pool and played with balls. There was lots of fresh water and so many toys. We will definitely be back!Marlena B.

FAQ about our Hawthorne 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.
