55I love it so much and so did my Athena, she couldn’t stop wagging that tail of hers. We will definitely be back ( I was even thinking of making this a weekly thing). It was so perfect! So private & so much space for that nosey girl always sniffing around. it brought me lots of joy to finally have a place to have my reactive girl run freely & happily. Kaylene R.

55We had a blast. My dog is not reactive but he is still learning boundaries. It was wonderful to see him carefree and off leash to run and jump and play. Will be back. Yard was exactly as described! N L.

55This is our second visit to Hala’s and I know it’s the same place but we had even more fun the second time around!! My dogs assume that if we are going anywhere in the morning … it’s usually the vets. So today was an extra special experience when they realized we’re going to Hala’s again!! Sarah k.

55such a great spot! very easy to find and our pup loved it! He’s new to swimming so we were able to book as much time needed in order to get him comfy with the water. They provided toys and towels (we had brought some but it was good to know there was back up). 10/10 experience!!Michael C.

55Wonderful spot for dogs! We had a b-day party with 6 dogs and the pool and everyone had a great time. Plenty of space to play, the place was safely enclosed, and there were great amenities. We will definitely return!Suzanne S.

55This was our first Sniffspot and the pups loved it! They explored at first then went right to playing with each other and running around. They easily found the water bowl and toys. We will be coming back for sure. Melissa H.

55Amazing host and spot! Hala was wonderful to accommodate us on Christmas Day for a break from holiday activities. Plenty of room to sniff, run, and chase lizards with very secure fencing. Thank you!! This will be a regular visit when we are in Orange County. Julie H.

55I booked Hala’s backyard for my pup’s first birthday and he and his friends had a blast. There’s so much space to run around playing chase and sniff. For just an hour long, they were already exhausted. There’s a pool too but none of them wanted to jump in the cold water. Haha. We would definitely come back and would recommend this amazing spot to out friends.Gigi M.

FAQ about our Mission Viejo 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. 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.

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. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. 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.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
How much do Sniffspot small dog parks cost?
Small dog parks in the Mission Viejo area range from $2.0 and $100.0. The least expensive small dog park is Dominique's Private Dog Park In Paramount. The most expensive small dog park is Jonathan's Private Dog Park In Riverside. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
Can I have an event or party at a small dog park?
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
