55Very pretty location with trails to explore. Not a lot of large flat areas (unless we missed a corner) if that's something you need, mainly narrow trails climbing the hillside. Aleks F.

55This place is amazing! So much space to run and sniff!! Really nice drive up there, and honestly feels like a “real” hike. Zerina was quick to respond to questions, and the directions were nice and clear. I agree with one of the reviews that most of the “trails” are uphill, not too many flat areas, but not too bad. Something to think about if you or your pups have a hard time going uphill. Other that that, we will def be back! Thanks so much for sharing this place 🫶🏻Sarah S.

55We loved this Sniffspot! The Host was very responsive and friendly, and it’s very easy to get to.
It’s a serene, gorgeous spot with a beautiful view. It has a short loop with a single-file trail that we walked around a few times during our visit while our dogs ran all over, and a beautiful handmade bench to sit for a few minutes and enjoy the view.
There are a couple of fairly steep spots, but they are short and the Host had hiking poles for us to use. We didn’t end up needing them and my partner was fine in his tennis shoes. They also had a clean water bowl for the dogs and the entire spot is fenced.
We have two dog-reactive dogs and there aren’t many places we can take them off-leash. They were so happy here! She was very accommodating by keeping her dog inside during our visit. We neither heard nor saw any other people or dogs.
I highly recommend this spot!Erika L.

55The dogs and us humans had a great time walking around the trails and enjoying the view of the mountains. The trails were a little hilly with lots of fun things for the dogs to sniff. It was easy to find and the yard was well maintained. It was a little smaller than we expected but we will definitely come back.Katie R.

55This is such a fantastic spot! Host is communicative and friendly, and there are paths everywhere to explore with your dog. An hour isn’t enough! Absolutely loved it and Molly was worn out. Word of advice - you’ll need a code to access the road to get to this spot, so make sure you record it before you get on the road as the cell service (Verizon) isn’t very good. Krystle F.

55Dogs had a blast! The property is GORGEOUS… as well as clean, well maintained & secure. I had trouble with the water- it may have been frozen or something- so maybe bring some just to be safe. Mackenzie S.

FAQ about our Los Gatos 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.
How can I find dog fields in Los Gatos?
There are 13 dog fields in the Los Gatos area. The most popular dog field is First Fork Forest 🌲. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
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 Los Gatos area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog field is Place to run your dog. The most expensive dog field is Place to run your dog. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
