55A true dog paradise. Being able to watch a Malinois run at full speed is my favorite thing to see. This yard gave me and her that freedom to explore and run. There are a ton of toys and of course the chickens to watch. We will definitely be back regularly. If you have an active dog, this is a great place to let them burn some energy off so they nap the rest of the day. Lindsey F.

55My 2 big boys are total sniffers so this location was heaven for them. Our puppy was so free to run and exhaust himself. They did want to keep going right up to the house to say hi😬 So much room to roam, sprint, extremely clean and a cute, welcoming sitting area. We would absolutely come back and definitely worth a visit. Imaikalani R.

FAQ about our El Cajon 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 El Cajon 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 149 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 15 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.
