55Loved this spot! My dog had a great time using the pool, which had a shallow/raised end so he could still be in the water but not swimming if he didn't want to. The yard was also very large and perfect for the dogs to run around to catch the frisbee or ball. We also got permission to use the grill which was perfect for our lunch! All in all, it was a great experience and I would recommend this spot. The only thing I will mention is, the place was a little difficult to find when we first arrived but the owner did give some specific things to look for which helped us pinpoint the place in the end!Kristin B.

55Clean backyard, had lots of toys to play with, shaded areas to sit. This was my first sniff spot and my Dogs loved it, they were scared to get fully in the water but enjoyed it. Keep in mind to use the pool is an extra charge. Overall enjoyed my time Gianna G.

55Very clean spot! My dog had so much fun in the pool and did not want to leave! There are other dogs right next door and they were barking throughout my entire stay but it didn’t really bother my dog or I. Tiffany K.

55I just love this Sniffspot! Stunning and a most dog-friendly backyard for my sweet dog to run around and literally play! Such great exercise and a lot of safe, great sniffing options. The pool is great! There’s a large area in the pool which dogs can wade in and get comfortable. My dog used the entire pool for about 1/3 of the time and the rest of the time she would run around the green grass yard and into the wading area and splash around then back to the yard. It’s what every dog deserves to enjoy! Wonderful for humans too. Perfect temp, clean. Also, the hostess is absolutely wonderful. Linda V.

55My first time visiting a sniff spot. Due to renovation of our backyard my Malinios were desperately missing their pool. Found this spot seven minutes from me. Spot was clean and welcoming with toys left out. Best of all the pool was clean, in great condition and safe so they could enjoy. Owners never came out but were home which was something I was a little nervous about given my Mals can be protective. I was a little hesitant utilizing a sniff spot but figured as long as we were respectful of their property then we would be ok. Overall the experience was great and much needed just not sure for anyone seeing two large Mals in their backyard! I highly recommend this spot.
Thank you to the hosts as my Kairo a former Police dog really needed to get his swimming in. Gloria J.

FAQ About Santa Ana 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 4% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Santa Ana area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 550 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 649 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
