55This was our first experience with sniffspot, and it was amazing! Julie's place was everything we could have hoped for and more! We have a very hyper and anxious dog so safety is very important. Even though it was a 50 minute drive, we chose her place because the amenities and safety measures were unmatched. Kati Y.

55The location was big, private and very secure. There was a lot of shade, and everything you would need to have a great time with your pup like water, toys, garbage, seats etc. My dogs had a blast and burned lots of energy! We hope to come back soon. Jehan B.

55Another great time at this spot. Dogs were so happy running around and playing in the pool/sprinkler. The owner was also kind enough to understand when I messed up on the booking time. Can’t wait to book a doggie birthday party!Rose H.

55Our two big dogs have two very different personalities - highly anxious and highly aloof. We cannot bring them to dog parks and our yard is not big enough for them to really run. Golden Pines was perfect! They could explore, run, chase, and just be themselves. They even got to meet the resident horses! Amazing exposure! Thank you for sharing your space for great dogs like ours! Jen D.

55My first visit with my dog Bella. What a fabulous time! Such a beautiful, safely fenced place with everything you could think of. Bella was so excited to find a sandbox to dig in and a tree with ropes and ball to tug. She also met her first horses. Her tail was wagging. A big pail of clean water was set out for Bella & even though I had water along for myself, a thoughtful cooler was on the picnic table with chilled water for me also. There was a nice sheltered seating area with a fan going & every little thoughtful thing you could think of....dog toys, towels, treats, sunscreen, bug spray & so much more. What a beautiful place. I'm so happy we discovered SniffSpot & especially this spot! 5 stars plus!!!. We will definitely be back! Kelly K.

55This was our first visit but definitely not our last. The area was a nice mix of shade and sun with lots of play options, Huck especially loved the sandbox. It was a great first experience, and our pup is definitely sniffed out. Jen M.

55Thank you Julie for hosting this Sniffspot. It's such a wonderful and safe area for dogs of all ages to run, play and sniff. Plenty of enrichment for the dogs and shade to keep cool on warmer day. I brought my current pack of 5 dogs (3 personal and 2 bonded fosters) for the first time and they all enjoyed it so much. We'll be back for sure!Melissa C.

FAQ about our Ripon 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.
