55Beautiful yard with lots of space for dogs to run around and explore. I was worried how my dog would react to seeing the chickens and goats on the other side of the fence, but he did didn’t bark or growl once. Perfect spot if you have a reactive dog or if you just want to bring your dog somewhere new to see and smell different things. We had a great time and will definitely be coming back! Julia R.

55The lady who owns this property seems incredibly kind. It was nice meeting her and her sweet dog! The spot is very secure. The space is amazing with so many different areas to explore with your dogs. We had a wonderful time and the dogs loved exploring. We booked an hour but easily could have stayed longer. Will definitely be making this a regular spot for our dogs!Jordan J.

55This is a great spot with plenty of space to run. For one dog, it felt like too much $ however. I would definitely go back when I'm the area, it would just not be a regular spot for us at that price. The agility area was fun for both my dog and my daughter though! There was a kiddie pool for him to cool off. The host gave great instructions and communication. Melissa D.

55This Sniffspot is amazing! Our Ollie has never been happier. There are a few different areas for him to explore and run to his hearts content. It’s easy to get to with parking inside the fenced in area. We’ll definitely be back. Kim C.

55An excellent sniff spot!! The dogs enjoyed smelling around all the different areas and had fun digging in the sand pit. Plenty of space for fetch and fully fenced for safety, plus it was great to get some training in on the agility equipmentAnnabeth P.

55Our first time visiting a Sniff Spot! The area was clean and had multiple fenced areas for the dogs to explore and play. My two huskies had a blast. Just be prepared as they may get a little muddy!Katana T.

55My dogs had so much fun here!! One of my dogs is extremely nervous about new places and is scared of people and barking dogs. This space allowed her to explore different areas without being worried about the things she is scared of. She was even willing to try out some of the obstacles/agility equipment which was so good for her! My other dog LOVED climbing on everything especially the tall A-Frame and there was plenty of space for him to race around. It was truly a fun playground for them. We don’t live locally, but have to travel to Monterey regularly to see the veterinary ophthalmologist and we will definitely be back to this sniff spot! Kimberly D.

55Great area with a variety of opportunities depending on your dog's preferences (digging, agility, fetch, or just walking around sniffing). Heard dogs as we arrived, but they were not visible and we did not see anyone else while we were using the area.Jessica F.

55We had a great time here! This spot was very well maintained and organized. We especially loved that you park inside the fenced off area! And the dogs loved all the space to run and explore. Playing ball on the turf was a big hit! We look forward to coming back many times!Amy A.

55Nice lot for the dogs to play. They loved it! We did a reunion here with my dogs bestie from when she was a puppy. The Sniffspot owner provided a few balls and a chuckit, dog bags and trash buckets. Lots of places to sniff and run around and play chase. Will definitely be back. Natasha L.

55We love this spot! There’s different area for different activities; an area for diggers, a large area with obstacles, etc. The area is very secure and easy to get to and they have poop bags stationed at several spots in case you forget yours. This definitely one of our go-to spots. When we start down the road to the spot, Ollie starts getting excited and wiggly because he has so much fun there. Kim C.

55Loved this so much! Was a bit hesitant since we’re from San Jose and it’s a bit of a commute but it’s so worth it! Dogs loved it. We were able to run, play, and we even tried the obstacle courses. It’s hard to find a place like this that it’s safe for reactive dogs. Liz G.

55My two dogs had a great time by being able to run around freely. An hour was more than enough time for them to become tired. I really liked that my dogs were the only ones on the play area. I would definitely recommend this!Brenda L.

FAQ about our Salinas 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?
