55This was one of the best sniff spots we went to!! Our Doberman had a blast swimming in the water & running around the yard. It was so fun kayaking & paddle-boarding and the water is the perfect height for the fur babies to have fun in! Highly recommend! Lexi P.

55Charlie and I had a great time at our first visit to this spot! It’s beautiful and quiet, and Tanya has clearly put a lot of time and energy into anticipating potential needs of guests.
Charlie was a big fan of the creek, which has a nice variety of shallow and deep spots, as well as moving water and fairly still spots.
The fence was just fine for my large dog, although anyone with teeny dogs may want to be aware that the driveway gate has gaps between the bars, but nothing that wooden spoon trick wouldn’t fix!
We will be back :)Emily B.

55My dog had a wonderful time exploring this site. It was easy to get to and to find. The creek is beautiful. My dog isn't interested in swimming or playing in water, although it's fantastic for dogs that love water. My dog is quite reactive to other dogs, and we didn't see or hear any other dogs while there. Multiple chairs availble to sit down for a break made it quite comfortable. We had a long drive after and I greatly appreciated having a restroom available for customers. Pam G.

FAQ About Penn Valley 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.
