55Big area for your dogs to run around and sniff, if your dog loves sniffing they will enjoy the area. Our dog had lots of fun running around and playing with some of the balls and sticks there. Big tree with shade was really nice too. Ana K.

55I’ve brought my own 2 large reactive dogs and a lot of various fosters and they’ve always loved this Sniffspot. Lots of space to run. My dogs are very reactive and despite the chickens and ducks next door my dogs have always been calm here. It’s a great and clean Sniffspot! Susan R.

55What a gem! Leslie’s yard is gorgeous, full of colorful flowers and plenty of open space for my two large dogs to run, play fetch, and take in all the new sniffs. I loved watching the friendly flock of chickens and ducks next door. We had the best time here and can’t wait to come back! :)Linda N.

55Another wonderful experience here! My pup enjoyed the cool breeze and listening to the neighbor's chickens. There was a quick moment where the neighbor's dog ran up to the back fence and barked, but it was literally just for 5 seconds. My pup didn't mind and thought it was a playmate. We enjoy coming to this spot since my pup gets to be exposed to sounds from other animals, good mental stimulation, and she learns to be calm around the sounds.Devona F.

55The space was very clean and easy to find. My pup had a blast! You can hear chickens and roosters nearby but if your dog can handle that it should be okay I didn’t physically see them at all! And because of where it is I did see a hawk so just a warning for those with smaller pups otherwise an amazing spot I will be coming back toAlicia A.

55Very nice place.
The GPS was fooling us, though.
The house is on top of the hill in the back, between two houses.
So, it took me a bit to figure which house was it.
Even though they have the sniffspot logos visible (my bad).
Very enjoyable.
I took my two babies.
Chica is 9-years-old small chihuahua.
She was able to get out tru the fence.
So, if you have small houdini dogs keep an eye on them. Loli the puppy loves to run free. So, she was very happy.
Back to the yard, it's very nice, they have toys (we forgot ours), and that was very convenient. Gabriela G.

55Lovely spot! My dog loves turf for some reason so this was his heaven. I didn’t take into consideration how hot it gets inland, so we spent the last hour of our two hour visit in the shade listening to the birds which my dog and I really enjoyed. Will definitely be back, just maybe earlier in the day! Emily K.

55Beautiful space and lay out. My pups don’t have the best recall so I had a hard to keep them in the lower part of the yard. The kept wanting to explore the owners house. So not the best set up for my pups but lots of grass to run and play for pups. Stephanie R.

FAQ About 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. 1% 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 167 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 223 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
