55This is a little different than we normally choose, very desert-y and tons of wildlife sniffs. If you have sniffy hounds like I do, they will enjoy this Sniffspot. Lora M.

55It is very secure. It is very clear where to park. I LOVED that the parking is so close to the gate! It’s very clean and the seating area is comfortable. Many great toys for the doggos & poop bags/water/insect repellent/ hand sanitizer available as well.Celeste O.

55This was such a lovely and open space. Monaco butterflies fluttered around my mutts as they explored and enjoyed. Comfy for humans and dogs alike. We will be back, thanks for having us! Emily W.

55Sure! Here’s a polished review you can use:

We had a great experience at this Sniffspot! The yard was clean, peaceful, and perfect for letting our dog run around and relax. It felt very private and well cared for. Parking was convenient, though if you have a large SUV, just be aware that the space is a bit tight—manageable, but something to keep in mind. The owner was incredibly friendly and responsive, which made the whole visit even better. We’ll definitely be coming back soon!Mary F.

55What a great spot!! Our first time using it with my 2 large dogs and foster dog. She’s paralyzed and wants to scoot around and she had a blast. They had enough to sniff and lots of toys to play with. Susan A.

55First time using Sniff Spot and so happy I picked this location. Easy to find with clear instructions on where to park. Beautiful fully fenced yard with shaded seating. My dog enjoyed exploring the yard and I loved working on building her confidence in a new area! The tire was fun to use, lots of toys, and engagement options - loved the ropes on bungees! Will definitely visit again! Ciara F.

55The instructions and signage for the property were very clear and very straightforward. The yard was beautiful, very clean, well landscaped, a lot of variety when it came to dog toys available to use.
Not the fault of the property, or the listing, but I feel like like the space was a little too small for my two year old Belgian Malinois mix. The yard is a great size for smaller/medium size breeds.
But overall I give the space 5/5, and I would love to go back even without my dog. Kyle N.

55Space is great, large and clean. Places to sit while your dogs have fun! Our dogs loved exploring & running around. This is not a negative at all but I know for some dogs this is an important note, there is a dog on the other side of the fence that did bark a few times. So if your dog is one that gets easily triggered by other dogs, keep this in mind! Libby L.

FAQ About El Cajon 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. 1% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the El Cajon 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 165 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 216 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
