55We loved our afternoon at Dali’s place! There’s so much space for our pups to roam around. My pup was very curious about all the lizards he saw climbing along the rocks. We would definitely book again!Lillian L.

55Artsy Dog is the perfect spot for owners and their dogs. An acre of tilled land, completely enclosed, allows your pet plenty of room to run, play,etc. And humans will find shade, seating, and even cold water. Great place.Nelda D.

55Monica does a wonderful job of creating a space that both you and your dog can enjoy. There is plenty of space for the dogs to run and explore and you can safely see them at all times. The fence was secure and there was plenty of water and shade (although we were there in the typical June gloom weather).
I enjoyed painting a rock while the dogs ran and sniffed.
Monica was great at communicating and was super accommodating.

FAQ About Escondido 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.
