55This spot was so nice the first time…We came back for another round. This spot is great for dogs who have a lot of energy (plenty of space to run around and play) or dogs like mine who just need a little fresh air and to lay in the sunshine! We will be back again for sure! Tj S.

55My dogs enjoyed the land space, sniffing around the grass/bushes, and had fun with the doggy toys. The yard is designed for more of a garden-style, and I was a bit hesitant for them to run around the plants, vases, and rocks. Overall, the session was suffice enough for them to get some exercise in!Reese G.

55Fun Sniffspot for the pup. Lots of little nooks and crannies to explore. Pretty clean overall. Only issue might be there are some changes in elevation to keep an eye on if your pup runs haphazardly. My dog had a great time exploring and slept for hours when we got home. Thanks Victoria! Janet M.

55So much mental and physical enrichment at Victoria’s Sniffspot! My dog loved being off leash exploring all of the different areas. The fencing around the property was 100% secure, and everything was clean. There was a fresh bowl of water and toys as well. For us humans, the view was incredible and made for a wonderful and relaxing evening with my reactive pup who needed this experience so badly. We plan to come back soon!Taylor L.

55Thank you so much for allowing us to visit! This is a wonderful, quiet space for people to enjoy nature while dogs have plenty of room to stretch their legs and sniff novel things. We can't wait to come back!Alexander T.

55WOW! What an amazing yard in the heart of the city. This is an A+ spot, so much space for the dogs to run and play (and, of course, sniff), plus a really lovely space to pass the hour for myself. Excellent entry directions and wonderful set up with water and toys out. My young foster dog has some post-shelter anxiety so dog parks are completely out-- this is such a nice option to tire him out! Just beautiful, we'll definitely be back. Thank you!! Melanie R.

55Wow! What an absolutely gorgeous, spacious, and fun place. River immediately went running full speed. She hasn't had this much space in a long time. It felt like an endless place of activity. So much room to run around, play with balls, sniff, and explore. There were toys for River to play with, there was water for her to drink. It really was just a super awesome place to be. Mirka G.

55This space was probably the best Sniffspot yard we’ve ever been to. It was clean, spacious, and had multiple levels for the dogs to run and play. Lots of places to sit and relax while the dogs explore. Will definitely use again, highly recommended.Don M.

FAQ about our Canyon Lake small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Canyon Lake?

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
How much do Sniffspot small dog parks cost?
Small dog parks in the Canyon Lake area range from $4.0 and $100.0. The least expensive small dog park is Lani's Private Dog Park In Lake Elsinore. The most expensive small dog park is Jonathan's Private Dog Park In Riverside. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
Can I have an event or party at a small dog park?
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
