55Our two doggies had a wonderful time running and playing and I think we had just as much fun relaxing and chatting in the comfortable Adirondack chairs in the shade! Stephanie's home is up on a hill that had a nice breeze even when the sun was out. Her place is very clean and organized and she didn't hesitate to respond to questions. Thank you! We are excited to return!Kathy D.

55We very much enjoy the open space here for my dogs to sniff and run in the yard. The location is always ready for us and makes it easy to access with 2 big dogs. Lindsey F.

55Was a beautiful yard!! very secure lots of good areas to smell. Astroturf was very clean very few dirt spots, clean water dishes although my dog was a little confused by the no spill water dishes. I had to hold down the plate for her to drink from it lol. Cute little poop station. lots of rocks. Wouldnt recommend the space if you know your dog is a rock eater luckily my dogs are not :)Sabrina “Sabu” B.

55A nice spot. Easy to access and as described. Right now there are some brambles/spiky dried weeds cause the weather is hot that are best to avoid but there’s still plenty of space to let the pups run around safely on the turf. Amanda S.

55My dogs had such a great time today they really hated to leave! I barely got them out of the yard at the last minute because they were so interested in continuing to sniff around and play with the ball. They always have a great time and today was especially fun for them. Thank you ericElisabeth W.

55Eric's yard is perfect to train my reactive dog off leash. The yard is very large, and it's clean and mostly just dirt. There are a few agility obstacles to play with, and a box with toys, if you need any. My dog loved being able to run and explore. The yard is the perfect size for distance recall and obedience training.
We had a great time. We'll be back! Alexa F.

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.
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. 1% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the San Diego 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 160 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 209 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.
