55The host was very communicative, and the property was easy to locate. Once inside the area was clean and spacious, and our pup had a great time running around and exploring. Plenty of toys on hand and the kiddie pool was fun for her to cool off in. The area was actually very relaxing for us, the property is very beautiful and private. We would return in a heartbeat!Kate G.

55We had a fantastic experience at this sniff spot! The host was very responsive and made coming/going safe and stress free. Our dog is reactive, so we really appreciated the system in place to ensure that visitors don’t overlap. The yard space is gorgeous and has many nooks and crannies for dogs to sniff through. Totally worth the drive. We left with a very happy, tuckered out pup. Catherine B.

55My dog had so much fun and was so happy & comfortable! He's reactive, so he needs to be apart from other animals. However, he didn't even pay no attention to the chickens on the other side of the fence or the neighbors dogs barking in a distance. He was too busy playing! It's completely fenced in and is just the right size to run around. It has water & toys too. Sandra S.

55This is a beautiful location that is well-kept and thoughtfully stocked with pup essentials for a good time! Getting there and into the yard was seamless, and the owner was easy to communicate with. Our pup had a blast with the tennis ball and chuck-it provided (mind you there were many other toys, too!), and he loved the endless grass! The hand sanitizer was a nice touch for owners to use before and after play. Thank you!Vanessa C.

FAQ About Gilroy 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.
