55The dogs had a great time sniffing and climbing around. The stick library was a favorite. Our 15lb foster dog was able to slip through the side of the second gate (which thankfully leads to another gated part of the hostβs yard) so youβll want to keep your eyes on your pups if theyβre small, but otherwise the yard was totally secure.

55Just all around the best spot in the area for sniff spotting:
-There is a small sniff spot sign in the front yard
- Host confirms your booking in chat
- There is always water available
- Pictures look like what is there
- Plenty of shade trees and a tent

55Really well thought out space for dogs. My reactive dog had no triggers to worry about, just fun in the sun. Cindy should design dog parks for a living because this place is better than most in SDKathleen D.

55What a great place! So many extra enrichment activities. Our dogs particularly enjoyed the stick βlibraryβ and the treat puzzle station. The yard was very tidy, and there were plenty of shady spaces for our pups to cool off on a warm day. Weβll definitely be back!Debbie D.

55Everything was just as promised in the listing and our dog had a great time! The hill really tired him out. And the option to add a bath on to our visit was so helpful! Thank you! Hailee S.

55We had a great first experience with SniffSpot! This location was ideal, the directions were clear, the location is depicted correctly, and there are extra surprises on arrival. We moved to SD from the South where we had a large house and yard. Our very active dogs are not used to our tiny condo and we are so pleased with not only the service but this specific spot as well. The tennis balls, the stick library, optional dog grooming, etcβ¦ was perfect. Thank god for the hill to really wear down our German Shepherd. My only comment to other visitors is donβt be like us and go right after a leg day workout ;) The steps in and out are steep but totally fine if we had not just killed a leg day. We will definitely be back!!!! Caroline P.

55This is the best sniff spot!! There is a ton of running space, variety of toys, and a few nicely shaded areas. We brought the dog we were sitting but would love to be back with our own pup. We could hear another dog barking nearby but I didnβt see where it was, so be aware if your dog is reactive to that.ellie p.

55Cindy is such a gracious host. I scheduled a reservation for a Tuesday, but thought it was for Monday, and showed up. When she saw me, she came out and I realized my mistake. But she was so kind and welcoming, and got the yard ready quickly so I could keep my booking. Thank you Cindy! You are a gem, and so many dogs benefit from having access to your yard :)Jessica W.

55The host is very responsive and the place looks exactly like the pictures. Our dogs loved running on the hill. The shade and seating area and all of the balls and enrichment activities are thoughtful and much appreciated. Note, if your dog is sensitive to heat, probably best to book for an earlier morning or evening on hot summer days.Sarah W.

55I currently have a 6 month old boxer puppy staying with me and my dog, and Iβm so grateful for the trusted and safe location to let them play outside, off leash, and work with the puppy on training manners and appropriate play in an open, safe, and quiet location.
As always, thank you for sharing your yard with us! Kalista T.

FAQ about our Downey dog water parks
Are dog water 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed.
