55We are loving this Spot. Reminds me of wandering moorland. The dogs get a great opportunity to explore, swim, get grounded. I love the quiet out there. Penny L.

55This was the perfect place for our puppy to run free and get some training on recall without the distraction of other people and dogs. It’s a gorgeous property, we will definitely be returning.Sonya C.

55Absolutely beautiful and well maintained property. Lots of space for your pup to run, sniff, and explore. We heard some barking of a far away neighbors dog but it didn’t bother my pup or me, and we didn’t see any other animals or humans during our entire visit. We’ll definitely be back- i recommend this spot! Oliver D.

5510 outta 10, my pups loved it! Antoni’s Sniff Spot was a wonderful, fully fenced, open area for Laka and Hina to zoom, chase, sniff and splash. They wrestled, they bounced, they climbed rocks and got mucky and we loved every second of it. My pups are not off leash dogs in the real world due to short attention spans and a tendency to get into trouble and do that thing where they try to run away when you leash them up (aka the make mom look crazy game), so finding a place to take them where they can explore and get out all of that energy without the fear of them getting loose is EVERYTHING. Antoni was very welcoming and gave great instructions for check-in/out. We’ll definitely visit again and luckily there’s a Pet Food Express very nearby so we can let the dogs get filthy and take a dip in the pet wash before heading home.Danielle L.

55My dogs had a wonderful time! Fences are very secure which was great when my dogs were running around I didn’t have to worry just watched them run their hearts desires. I loved the different areas to adventure around and it was nice to walk behind my dogs and get some exercise myself Chantal B.

55So much space for exploring! The dogs loved it!! So easy to access and secure fences! Pro tip: go to pet food express after to wash your dogs & check for ticks! I went when the grass was wet and did pick quite a few ticks off. ali g.

55What a blast for the dogs! Beautiful country and gorgeous property to hang out in for me as well. If you have dogs that have fur that likes to pick up ticks, come prepared for tick removal… I found 6 on one (none on the single coat dog), but that’s par for the course for my wolf dog!Bethany P.

FAQ about our Petaluma 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 can I find small dog parks in Petaluma?
There are 76 small dog parks in the Petaluma area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
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.
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.
