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.

Chip's 4 Acre Partially Fenced Private Dog Park In Julian | Sniffspot
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.

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.

55What an awesome spot! Ryan is a fantastic host, and the spot had all the amenities that we needed and way more. More than enough space for my two large ridgebacks to chase each other at full speed and they even tried out agility equipment for the first time. My dogs don’t care so much for water but a water loving dog would appreciate the two kiddie pools. Ryan was even thoughtful enough to leave poop bags in multiple spots, treats, toys, and wipes… plus a covered area to sit in. We’ll be back for sure! Kristiene G.

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.
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 186 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 18 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.
