55We had the best time with our Great Danes! This location is perfect for our big boys to stretch their legs-plenty of open space to run and explore. They ran that track like they were horse!!! We loved seeing the llamas and goats, and the “doghouse” room and separate restroom was a standout feature not expected for us humans!! This was our very first Sniffspot and it exceeded our expectations. Thank you Jeff, much appreciated and we look forward to returning soon!! Michelle S.

55This was our first Sniffspot and it exceeded our expectations! Our pups had the best time exploring PAW Forward Doggie park. Our hosts greeted us and explained all the utilities that we could use. One thing that we loved about this dog park was that it was on a ranch and there were other animals that we could see from afar such as llamas and goats! The book nook was also a great touch where one can sit on a couch read a book while they watch their fur babies go! This was a safe and sanitary spot for our dogs and we had so much fun. Stephanie M.

55O.M.G!!! This is our new favorite Sniff Spot!! The location is very easy to get to as the host has created clear signs along the way indicating how to get there and where to park. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by the host who was extremely kind and welcoming. This family has gone above and beyond to make sure you and your dogs have the BEST time.
The park is very clean and well maintained. No goat heads, itchy pokey weeds- very manicured. The fence is secure with no spots for dogs large or small to crawl under or squeeze through.
There were attractions such as toys, obstacles, pool, digging area, and rest stops. There were little drinking water buckets along the fence, emergency kits, potty bags, and treats. My dogs never got bored!
This spot is very comfortable for people to enjoy as well. There is a bathroom, snack area with fridge, nook/rain room in case of rainy days, and a bbq/picnic area.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay and highly recommend! Amanda V.

55We tried this sniff spot out mid rain and it still lived up to its hype. It had been raining pretty hard for a while but the drive and parking was still very easy. If you’re thinking about visiting during a rainy day, your car won’t get stuck and there is plenty of dry flat area for parking.
The book nook was quite cozy and large enough for all 3 of us. I love that the nook has clear glass so that you can still watch your dogs play if they would rather still run around. We also utilized the snack bar. It was so cute and convenient.
Rainy days can be kind of a bummer, but this place allows you to still be active with your dogs without sacrificing comfort. I highly recommend, even during rainy days. Amanda V.

55What a perfect spot for our dog , Milo!!! He isn't really dog friendly, so this was such a great way to allow him to get out and do some running and playing. The spot is very well maintained with many things for your dog to enjoy. Jeff, the owner, was very friendly and welcoming for our first vist. He met us out front and explained everything about Paw Forward.
We will absolutely be back very soon to let Milo run and play at this perfect location. David D.

FAQ about our Manteca 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.

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.
