55Beautiful yard for a good romp with the pup! He's not quite advanced enough for the agility course, but we had a great time running around and playing with the toys. He definitely appreciated the rest stations & shade as well! Will definitely be back!Coca O.

55This is a very spacious and private spot! My dog, Wallaby loves smelling and running around. He can be reactive to certain dogs so this really helps me get some of his energy out without worrying about other dogs around. There are several toys and activities to entertain him as well. You can tell this place was really well thought out! Domi S.

55Second time at this yard, first time having a Pawty for our dog's first birthday. Was so cute! They put banners up all over, had a sign, & even left her a little toy as a gift. Would absolutely keep coming back, great communication and really cool yard. Halley L.

55I came back to this amazing Sniffspot today and had an absolute blast. Living in a small apartment, I don’t have access to a yard and can’t always bring my dog to parks—so finding a space like this is a total game changer. Today was extra special because we played fetch for the very first time! The area is clean, secure, and peaceful, and my dog had so much room to run freely and just be a dog. It brought me so much joy to see her so happy and relaxed. Thank you for providing such a wonderful, safe space—this spot has truly made a big difference for us!Meredith S.

55I loved the the size of the yard and being able to relax under the tree. Fresh water bowl was left out which was nice. The only issue was with my own dog. She heard the next door neighbors dogs and they started barking like crazy at each other and that's when I decided to leave. I would come back with the hope that we go during a time the neighbors dogs are not out. Holly V.

55We adopted our puppy 2 weeks ago, and this was our first time trying Sniffspot, his first playdate, and his first time off leash! It couldn’t have gone better—the space was large, with so many different areas, games and enrichment toys to explore. He loved every minute of it, and so did we. Such a well-planned area, with so many amenities; we’ll definitely be back. Thanks for being amazing hosts and creating such a wonderful place for pups to play!Coca O.

FAQ About San Diego 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.
