55This is our first time going to a Sniffspot. They've set the bar too high, this space has it all. How will I ever turn to another space 😅?!
Let's set the scene: You walk up to a gazebo with a clean, comfy seating area, a welcome sign from the family, complementary refreshments for you and treats for the pups.
The property is HUGE and beautiful, plenty of different shaded spots for you and your furry kids to hang out in, courtesy toys for the pups to play with, treats that must have been yummy because my pups gobbled them up and there was even a mini pool set up. Boy did they take full advantage of it!
My two high energy pups were able to run at full speed across the yard. They truely were in puppy paradise. If your fur kid likes to fetch, this will be perfect for them. Plenty of areas to sniff all the new smells. They didn't even notice the chickens in their big coop for a while!
I truely felt my pups were totally pampered, and most importantly safe, and secure. Shoot even I was having such a good time. Before I knew it, our hour was up. They've gained some repeat visitors, for sure.
I really could go on and on about this property. Now you need to add this to the top of your list and go check it out! Nea J.

55What beautiful property! There was plenty of room to run and sniff. There were SO many toys to play with. Plenty of water in the bowls, and it was clean which I appreciate. There was complimentary water for the humans and plenty of shaded seating. Our dogs loved sniffing the chicken coop that is inside the Sniffspot, and we could see 2 neighbor dogs that share a fence, but this didn't cause an issue for us. Directions to enter were straight forward, parking was ample. We will be back soon enough!Jenny P.

55OMG this place is a haven for fur babies. There was so much space, shade and even grass which my furbabies love. They also had complimentary poop bags incase you forgot yours. A nice area with a lot of shade if you and your baby just wanted to take in the view. I will definitely be back. My fur babies are so happy and content and probably dreaming as to when we will be coming back. BEST place to take your babies if you want them to run, play and do a lot of sniffing. I highly recommend this place to all sizes. You will not regret it. Wanted to post pics but my iphone is not working so had to use my laptop but will definitely post on my next visit.Michelle R.

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 119 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 16 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.
