55Such a fun time! Didn’t use equipment but plenty of space for the dogs to enjoy. It was also perfect weather, not sunny but not wet. We did see horses this time and one of our dogs got excited when they started galloping so we just made sure they weren’t able to see them to avoid any barking. Otherwise, when both dogs saw them as we got back into the car, they were calm. Serafina X.

55Our 6-month-old German Shepherd puppy had a great time at this spot. She mostly spent time smelling *everything* and running around, but did try out a few of the agility course obstacles. This yard was clean and safe, and we appreciated the toys and water provided by the host.Jennifer L.

55It was an amazing place for dogs to run and play! The agility set up was super fun to interact. 3 dogs I went together did not have any agility experience and this was a good intro to those and not be afraid of! Sinae K.

55We had fun! It was easy to find and easy parking. Dogs didn’t use the equipment but there was enough space to run around. We didn’t see any chickens or horses, not sure if it was because it was a foggy and overcast day. Overall great time!Serafina X.

55Such a lovely sniffspot! Plenty of room to run and play if you're not wanting to run the agility course. The neighborhood is beautiful and safe. You will likely hear dogs barking off in the distance and there's definitely some chickens. When we visited, the chickens were in the coop (no horses this time either). The yard also has an apple tree and a plum tree (probably multiple). Lots of birds and nature - such a lovely place! I do recommend!Rebekah H.

55Our dogs had a blast running laps around the property. Our tiny chihuahua mix was the only one brave enough to try out the tunnels that were set up. But it was great to see my generally reactive dog have space to really stretch her legs and run. Plenty of space, toys, and in a really beautiful place. Maggie H.

55It was sunny today and it was nice to just sit in the space and take in the peaceful surroundings. Horses came over to say hello again and my dog did somemore agility (somewhat reluctantly). She screamed her head off in the car on the way over she was so excited. :) Linda K.

55We very much enjoyed our visit. I had wanted to get a little agility training in, but my dogs were too excited to run around to do much work! Lots of space for them, well-maintained area and equipment, and it was great exposure for my 6 month old puppy to see horses and chickens next door. Nice, cool weather. We would love to come again!Jodi G.

55First time here. My dog played fetch, did some fun agility things, sniffed the air a lot, explored, ate grass and amicably met some horses. I was mildly worried about the poo sitch based on some other reviews but it was quite clean. We had a great hour long excursion just 30 mins from SF. We will be back! Thank you. Linda K.

55This is a fun spot for dogs to explore and release some energy. Our dog is not familiar with agility work, so we just used the yard for frisbee and running. A pretty setting and great experience! Leslie R.

55This is a beautiful spot. My dogs loved the neighbor’s horses and spent a lot of time greeting them and then watching them in fascination. There were balls provided and they had fun chasing those. What I might mention is that it appears some other guests may not have been conscientious in picking up after their dogs but sometimes that is beyond the Sniffspot host’s control and they can only ask guests to do better. Thank you for a lovely time!Elaine H.

55We loved this spot! Our girl explored every nook and cranny of this property. She had fun with the agility course although she didn’t quite get the hang of all the obstacles. But she loved getting rewarded with treats for trying! I would definitely recommend this spot. It was easy to find and had lots of room for her to sniff and roam. Carole L.

55Our dogs had a great time at this Sniff Spot!! The grounds are well kept and the agility equipment was fun to try out. There is lots of space to run in a secure play area that consists of two fields - an upper and lower level. Parking is easy and the grounds are well kept. There are beautiful horses and chickens that graze in the field next door. Our dogs were very curious and the horses seemed interested to check them and us out as well. You could hear dogs barking in the distance but could not see them. Nice outing for our city pups!!Maria M.

FAQ About Montara 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.
