55Once again we had a great visit. My dogs love the place even jumping a few times in the pool. For me it is quiet and peaceful place to relax. The wisteria is in full bloom and just beautiful.Cheryl W.

55Such a beautiful space! Plenty of room to launch tennis balls which Rob provided. It had just finished raining a bit but didn’t impact running up and down the hill. Like others have said, wear some comfortable and sturdy shoes! We can’t wait to come back with furiends!Noelani D.

55Our dogs had the best time exploring Dali Dog’s Desert Oasis. It was a grand adventure for them to be able to run all about and we enjoyed the scenic backyard with all the necessary amenities. We’re looking forward to returning. Jeanne G.

55Fun little spot with a decent hill and rocks that the dogs wore themselves out on in the first thirty minutes. 😀
The next fifteen consisted of laying on the ground with tongues hanging out.
Mission accomplished.Christopher A.

55We had a great time here. My dog enjoys getting up on rocks, so it was fun for her and she had plenty of room to sniff and explore. The host was communicative and helpful and the spot was pretty clean (a couple of leftover poops, but it’s a big spot so I totally get that it could be easy to miss).
Most of this info the host provided, but in case this info might be helpful to people with reactive dogs who rent SniffSpots to avoid other people/dogs, here it is:
Dogs: Heard a dog/s barking from inside twice. On the way out it seemed like the dog was closer/outside (possibly in a deck?) when the dog was barking which made me a little nervous. My dog does fine with other dogs, but I know a lot of dogs who go to SSs wouldn’t do well with that.
Other Animals:
No other animals visible or audible except lots of little lizards :)
People: The fencing is secure, but see-through, so it was easy to see the neighbor doing gardening/yard work virtually the whole time. I wanted to share this bc I know this could really affect some dogs’ ability to enjoy the spot.
Fencing:
Seemed super secure, didn’t notice any gaps that were relevant to my dog’s sizeJessica S.

55No complaints! The property is pretty steep so the girls enjoyed running up and down the hill and smelling all the plants. We aren’t even 10 minutes into our drive back home and these high energy girls are already sleeping Mkenzie P.

55Amazing time as always! We are regulars at this Sniffspot. My large hound has a ridiculous amount of fun here.
Host kindly provides poop bags and trash buckets. The yard is large and on a steep incline so please help make it easy for the host to continue to offer this wonderful spot & keep it nice for everyone by cleaning up after themselves and their dogs. Michele S.

55This desert oasis was a wonderful space to explore with my dog. The entire yard is on a slope with dirt trails going throughout it. There are also fantastic rock formations that you can explore and climb with your dog. There are two spots with shade and comfortable seating for you and your dog. The host also provides plenty of doggie bags, trash cans, water for you and your dog, dog toys, bug spray, and hand sanitizer. Parking and entering/exiting the yard is very easy. I couldn’t be happier with my experience.Joseph F.

FAQ about our Mountain Center 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 Mountain Center 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 263 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 22 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.
