55We enjoyed our first visit to this Sniffspot! The yard is big enough for us to throw the ball and our dog to get some running in. There is a little kiddie pool which our dog loved laying down in in between chasing the ball. Bring a towel! There were balls and a Chuckit also. A chair under shade. Backs up to some pretty open space. The host has signs for where to park and where to enter etc which makes it nice and easy. My dog got pretty dirty between the dirt and the pool water but he was so happy it was definitely worth it. We'll be back!Melissa D.

55This place was perfect! We needed a spot where our new rescue dog could run off leash and be safe. Tauna (the host) was very friendly and one of her sweet dogs joined us for some play time. We will definitely be back. Traci W.

55This is a great spot. Definitely wear your Muck Boots! There are lots of excellent, smelly places for the dogs to roll around! The horses were in view and we could hear the rooster. The owner is nice and responsive to questions. I let her know one of our dogs is fearful of other dogs and she kept her dog in the house. (I did hear a dog barking briefly not too far away though.) As noted by others, there are a couple of spots where small dogs could crawl under the gates. Overall a great spot and I would go back.Erika L.

55I was a little hesitant to book this because I’ve never booked a sniff spot before I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I read all the reviews and they were very helpful to understand what to expect. The drive up is not bad at all it’s slightly winding road but a paved road until you get to the driveway from there you’ll find a gate and you go through the lot. the driveway through is bumpy but nothing my little sedan couldn’t handle. Some of the reviews mention a spot that Dogs might be able to get under and that made me a little nervous but there are two gates one is the when you enter when you’re going into the paddock and that’s the one that has a small gap. I would say is no more than a foot and it’s partially covered by some of the fencing. My medium size dog, 50 pounds could not get through that and she tried because she was so interested in playing with the chickens and the horses. There’s another gate off to the side for horse use and they have it blocked under with some logs but even if the logs weren’t there it’s only about a foot gap. Overall I would definitely say this is a great spot and I will totally be back as my dog had a great time. If you have any apprehensions I would say go ahead and book it! julie b.

FAQ About Ben Lomond 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?
