55Love this place! Very relaxing and quiet right down the road from central Julian. Our dogs loved it, it was the perfect amount of walking for our senior girl and plenty of room to play ball with our younger guy! The neighbor’s dog did come say hi so I would recommend making sure your dog is comfortable around other dogs before coming here. Karen A.

55Chip was very helpful and response I’ve when I contacted him about any potential dogs on the property since we have a reactive dog. His property has great views along the trails they have made and we got to watch thunderstorms in the distance and saw a rainbow too. The trail was quiet and the only sounds we had were the neighbors dogs when we first drove in but we didn’t have any interaction with them. Parking was plentiful and easy to figure out based on the information Chip provided. We were a little confused on what we should do when we got there and where to go but we quickly saw the cute white handmade signs along the trail. Enjoyed our walk and we would absolutely come back and since he’s located close to us we might use Chip for training for our little reactive guy! Shelly A.

55Ryan was very nice to inform me ahead of time that the place was wet and muddy still from recent storms. He also greeted me and gave me the scoop on the place. My dog enjoyed the freedom to run around and we enjoyed the agility equipment and a chance for some training. mgreenbergdvm X.

55Charlotte and I had a great time. Ryan introduced himself and briefly showed us the ropes and then left us to explore. Lots of room to run and play with comfy chairs in the shade for relaxing. We would definitely come again. Megan G.

55So fun!! Large open area, lots of different things to do. There’s an obstacle course, a couple kiddie pools, tons of fun toys! Owner was super nice. I’ve visited several Sniffspots over the past few months and this one may be my favorite spot!
I have a leash-reactive dog and live in the city and it was so nice to take a break from our normal training and let him just be a dog enjoying the outdoors (in a safe environment) for an evening.😊
Will definitely be returning and would recommend checking this Sniffspot out!Mariah I.

FAQ about our Julian 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Julian area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 185 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
