55Quite a bit of foxtails around since it’s more dry out, so just need to check the dogs afterwards! Sprinklers on also meant muddy paws, but still very pleased with the Sniffspot. The dogs really enjoyed themselves. Karen T.

55Very clean and spacious! My dog loved all the running space. The sign for Sniffspot parking made it easy to know where it was located since there are fields all around. Sasha A.

55Great experience. The pups had a great time roaming around and exploring. Now that it’s getting warmer, the trees provided shade for the dogs not to overheat (and we enjoyed the shade as well). Host was very communicative and helpful as well! Cecilia D.

55This was our second visit to Kolina's and, once again, we loved it! Our dog had a great time running, romping, and exploring among the almond trees. My husband and I enjoyed our stroll through the orchard. One thing to note, however: foxtails grow abundantly between the rows of trees. They were not a problem today, as they are still green. If they are still there in a couple of weeks, I would urge caution.Karen L.

55It was a great experience. The orchard is lovely and provides some shade as you’re walking. Lots of room for the dog to run and not have to worry about running into others. I had brought water for my dog but unfortunately the lid had come off in my car and there was nothing left in the bottle.
I was happy to know that Chris had left water and a bucket for the dogs. That really saved the day.Anne R.

55We had a great time at Cris’ Sniffspot! It was so spacious and Clover had a blast running around and sniffing. It was so large that we didn’t feel any need for fencing Ming L.

55We had such a great time and so did the dogs! Lots of zoomies, chased a jackrabbit and sniffed some bee hives. Easy to find and they had some water and bowls available if you forgot to bring yours. Thank you! We will definitely be back. Shannon L.

55Best. Day. Ever!! Our pups loved it! They were wiped out! The orchard is beautiful. It’s huge! The pups ran around like crazy. They found some mud puddles and got super dirty. They had a wonderful time! Cris leaves water by the parking area and she also left us some bee hats (it’s an orchard so there are bee hives and bees, but we had no problems with them). The location is easy to find, right off the freeway. So happy we found this listing! Just be aware there are no bathrooms on site so be prepared for that and there are a few thorny plans. Otherwise it’s dog paradise!Talina M.

55Another great visit in the books! The bees are back, but they haven’t bothered us either time we’ve been out. Cris left some bee hats for us, but as long as you keep a safe distance I don’t think they’re needed. The Danes had a wonderful time smelling all the new smells and chasing a jack rabbit. As usual, Cris left out water, towels, dog poop bags. We love coming here.Melissa M.

55Such a great experience for our very first Sniffspot adventure! Love all the orchard, shade, and knowing we had the place to ourselves. My girl has a solid recall so I was not concerned at all about it not being fenced. The orchard is so large too that you really don’t even notice it being unfenced. Love this place and definitely will be back!Sharon F.

55Beautiful amazing isolated perfect. I wish it were fenced but it’s honestly so massive it doesn’t matter because all you see is trees as far back as your eye can see lol. During winter it’s easy to see through the branches so constant visibility of dogs is 10/10. I wish I lived closer, but would honestly road trip to the area specifically for this Sniffspot. Kyria S.
