55OMG, what an awesome yard! Beautiful neighborhood and the yard is adjacent to a horse trail, and golf course across the way. The dogs can see through the fencing but it is totally secure so no worries about them getting out. However, the gate to enter the yard doesn’t quite latch so I turned the rod on the bottom to keep the gate from opening. Simple fix:). My dogs had a great time watching the golfers and barking at the occasional horse or mountain biker going by. We’ll definitely be back. Just a gorgeous place all around!!!Debbie P.

55This was my first experience with Sniffspot and it was great. We will definitely be back. I couldn’t believe how affordable his rates were. I took my dog and a dog that I am fostering who was three days away from being euthanized, and to watch the Joy on his face for an hour to run in the grass, smell of the smells after living much of his life on concrete was priceless thank you to who ever created this app we are so very grateful Robin E.

55First time using Sniffspot and this was the best place to visit. Instructions for arrival and the hike were clear. This property has access to the creek which was awesome. Hiking down to the creek was easy, but for folks that may have some mobility issues keep in mind that the walk back to your car is steep and uphill. With the recent rain the creek is FLOWING, which might not be ideal for little dogs or older dog. They did offer to reschedule our visit since it was raining which was really nice but it was bath day for our pup so we didn’t mind. All in all we will be back, but most likely when the creek is not as full so that our pup can get wet without being swept away by the current. Kudos to the hosts for sharing such an awesome spot!

55Absolutely gorgeous property! We only booked an hour but we wished we booked longer because there is just so much to see and walk through. The host was great! Even though the sniffspot app was acting wonky and not letting messages go through, we still made it work.
Make sure to reach out to the host and provide your contact details so she can text you details of how to get to the sniffspot spot as well as detailed instructions on how to find the trailhead!
Our 9 month old Golden retriever LOVED the time there! And we cannot wait for our next visit!!! Make sure to wear shoes with grip because you will come to some points on the hills where you will need it (but don't worry it's fun 💜 not crazy). I also recommend bringing a plastic bag nd backpack so you can put your poopy bags in there and rig it to your backpack. We couldn't find a trash bin so we packed it out. Get ready for a great hike with beautiful views and book it!Katrina J.

55This was our first Sniffspot reservation, I figured it would be a good way for all three of us to get out of the house, I was right. This spot was beautiful, walking among the avocado trees with him off leash, having a blast was and knowing we had the place ourselves worth it. Stream access was worth the extra cost as well. Alma made sure detailed instructions were sent and made sure we got back alright, the lemonade at the end was excellent. We'll be back for sure.Levi W.

We added the private access to the stream and was well worth it for them to get some water play in there.

FAQ about our San Juan Capistrano 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 San Juan Capistrano 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 385 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 40 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.
