55LOVE this spot! My dogs have such a blast every time. The hosts have done such a lovely job setting this place up to truly be your personal dog park. You can really tell how much time and effort they spend setting up and maintaining this spot. 10 stars if I could! jenna b.

55Love this place and so do the 3 dogs. I for sure will be back. Only thing of note is the WiFi does not appear to work which is fine with me. It’s a beautiful setting and I’m happy to be off grid for an hour.Steve S.

55Rae had an amazing first visit! We recently rescued her and weren't sure how she would do with off-leash recall. This was the PERFECT place to work on those skills, play with toys, explore, and rest. Much better place to foster bonding compared to the dog park, which can be overstimulating. Rae was over the moon. We hope to come back regularly!Usha V.

55This was my first and Lina’s first Sniffspot.
I think its actually the first time she has been off leash except for a 10 minute stop in a dog park.
#349 K9 Farm is a big spot with a lot for Dogs to do.
It is well stocked with water, toys and seats for humans.
We enjoyed our time.Tony W.

55Great place to introduce my urban pup to visually view and audibly hear horses and goats, but at a safe distance (across the street and neighboring property, but well over 50ft). The distance was enough that he was able to remain curious, but under threshold. I was able to reward for his calm(er) interactions and reorienting to me and he was able to ignore them while we played in the space. Great place for my stressy pup to decompress and sniff around the yard which was still nice and green from all our rains. We'll be back. Lovely space. Thank you!Kiem S.

55This property is gorgeous, spacious, and safely enclosed. A perfect place for my babies to run free! I will absolutely be returning soon. Don’t use GPS to try to get there (it took me the wrong way) the directions given by the owners are very simple and road signs are highly visible. 10/10 would recommend!Jamie B.

55Saskia had a blast! She had plenty of room to run and play ball, and she was very curious about all the animal noises. There was a lot of mud, but the owner was kind enough to message me beforehand warning me, so I brought a towel. My poor little sedan did almost get stuck in mud trying to park but I got myself out lol. Anyways, we'll definitely be back!Zoe H.

55Clean and spacious yard on a hill with toys and water for pup. We had a great time with lots of room to play fetch with a chuck it. My pup likes to run a lot and so this was a perfect place for him. He enjoyed the doggy bed to rest and the large containers he could jump on and slide off of. Water was provided which was nice. Easy place to park next to the gate. No distractions from neighbors aside from horse sounds from a nearby ranch but didn't bother us at all. My pup had so much fun He didn't want to leave. Hope we can come back when the weather is warmer and not so muddy. Heidi H.

55Really great spot and we didn’t need to bring anything - they have balls, chuck-it throwers, water bowls, and water. It’s hilly with lots of wide open terrain but also bushes and plants for our dog to sniff around and explore. We loved it!Brittany A.

55This spot was in a beautiful area tucked away north of Orinda. The size was great for 1-2 large dogs. My dog was distracted by all the wildlife around (in a good, excitedly, curious way), but it did result in her just kind of standing around a lot. We’ll be back again for sure! The supplies were impressive- some fresh water, toys and balls, and even a seating area for humans. One warning - the dogs won’t mind but humans don’t wear your good shoes! It is very muddy.

55I love this part of Briones/Alhambra Valley! The countryside was beautiful. #349 K9 Farm was clean, well kept and I learned how much better a ball on a rope is for our mostly Malinois Max. The dogs had so much fun running all out. I do have photo's but for some reason my phone was not cooperating and I could not get them to my computer nor could I review the site from the app. Susan J.

FAQ About Briones 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. 2% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Briones 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 273 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 417 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.
