55Tons of room to run and play, they had lots and lots of toys and the kiddie pool out even in November (I thought it would be too cold but my dog loved it!😂) quiet neighborhood with perfect directions.
*The neighbor dogs did come over after awhile to bark and run up and down the fence. Ariel J.

55My dogs absolutely love this spot. To be able to watch a Malinois run at full speed for a ball is magical. The girls love watching the chickens and sniffing the large amount of space this location has. You won’t be sorry giving this spot a visit. The hosts are lovely and worth driving to visit. They go above and beyond to make sure you feel welcome. Lindsey F.

55Amazing spot. Very beautiful and relaxing. It may be difficult to keep a close eye on your dog due to the size and layout of the property. Plenty of toys, bags, and water provided. Chickens can sometimes be a problem for my dog, but this coop is very secure, enough so that he quickly lost interest. We’ll be back! Melinda C.

55Very very welcoming. Such a large space, my two pups had so much fun and ended up completely exhausted! I love how you open the gate and pull in and bam, dog can roam. It really makes it easy on me because one of my dogs is a Great Dane puppy who doesn’t have the best leash matters yet. Thank you so much! Celeste O.

55Our dog had so much fun here! Coming from the city it was great to have a place to let her run free without other dogs to worry about or get distracted by. Very easy to access and there were plenty of toys for her to play with. Would definitely recommend this sniff spot and we hope to return soon!Nolan J.

FAQ about our 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.
