55We enjoyed our visit to Paw forward very much. The instructions on how to access were clear. It was big enough that our small/medium dogs had plenty of space to run, sniff, dig and play. There are obstacles and a pool that larger dogs can enjoy. It was clean. Jeff left treats for our dogs. We'll definitely be returning!Cristina W.

55My pup thoroughly enjoyed her first Sniff Spot experience at PAW Forward Doggy Park. The host was very welcoming and the communication was excellent. The facilities were clean with ample chairs, and plenty of toys for the pups. They even provided bottled water and a doggie treat! We will definitely be back!!Kim R.

55This private dog park is amazing! It has an agility course with jumps, slaloms, hoops, and balance boards. There is so much here for any size dog to do, whether it be just a sniffing adventure, playing w the toys, running the agility course, walk/jogging the track or laying in the shade. It's clean, safe and secure. Dog owners can get their exercise on the track while their dog plays. Tucked deep in the peaceful countryside. Tracy H.

55This spot is amazing. This was our first experience at a Sniff Spot and now the bar is set high. Jeff was outside to greet us (thank goodness because me and directions don't mix). He was pleasant and welcoming. The spot is clean, fenced in, and has plenty of space as well as activities for my pups to wear out on. There are agility set-ups and toys. We didn't opt for the pool this time but next time we will, it's HUGE. Jeff set out two water bottles, some cookies for the dogs, and a thank you card which I thought was an awesome touch. There are some adorable alpacas and goats near but not too close, it was a nice way to Introduce my dogs to farm animals :). We will be returning for sure. Jessica G.

55Could not have asked for a better experience! My boy is very reactive so traditional dog parks are not an option. PAW Forward doggie park is a perfect alternative for safe, secure, leash free running! Brandi L.

FAQ about our Manteca small dog parks
Are small 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 are much safer than public dog parks.

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends.

You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
