Palmhill is a working organic farm. One may observe an employee come and go from time to time but it would be just occasionally and for the briefest length of time. There is never an occasion when an employee would ever interact with a guest or their dog/s.

There is a self-serve chainlink gate in the northeast corner of the Sniffspot Field right off Mactan Road. I suggest backing up to and through the gate, park, make sure to close the gate, and then simply release the hounds! This way, you'll be within the 3 acre enclosed, fully-fenced Sniffspot venue where you'll have exclusive use of the space for the period of time that you're booked. There, you'll find fresh filtered water for your canine kiddos, an abundance of toys, Chuckit balls and launchers, and guest supplies. Please make yourself at home and have fun! 🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾♥️

Description

The Sniffspot venue is a 3 acre fully fenced area that you and your dog will have unsupervised, exclusive use of for the time that you have booked. There, you will find fresh filtered (RO) water for your canine companions, an abundance of toys, Chuckit balls and launchers, including guest supplies and other listed amenities. The entire farm is 36 fenced acres. For anyone interested, I will gladly provide supervised walks around the entire property for additional psychological enrichment at no additional cost. Note: Palmhill is a working organic farm. There may be an occasional worker sighting, but absolutely no reason for any employee to ever interact with a guest or their dogs. My interests lie in offering an affordable, stress-free, large, safe, clean, offleash venue for guests and their canine companions. Thanks to an awesome group of guests who have been with us since first opening the venue, this has been a very rewarding experience. However, there have been, a few guests who have not been doing a very good job of cleaning up after their own dogs which makes it very unpleasant for the guests who come in to the venue next. I have many visitors who pick up dog droppings of other people's dogs and don't say a word, and also return toys and balls to the recepticles, but they shouldn't have to! I actually had a guest say to me once, "Oh, I thought you had people to do that!" No, everyone is responsible for cleaning up after themselves before they leave the field. That's how we keep the venue tidy and affordable! I don't think that's an unreasonable expectation. I've had to post a list of reminders at the venue, (thank you, Michele) which I feel terrible about because they're not relevant for the MAJOROTY of Palmhill's guests. It's just a handful of mostly newer guests who aren't being very team friendly. I've met some awesome people and even more so awesome dogs, but sorry to say, if you don't play fair, you will be asked not to come back to this venue. Everyone is welcome including, large groups, highly reactive dogs, special needs dogs- dogs with anxiety, physical handicaps, previous dog park trauma dogs, etc. We love them all and will do our best to make everyone feel welcome! Thanks so much for your support! 🐾❤️🐾

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

There is always the possibility of a venomous snake during rattlesnake season! Be Observant during those months that rattlers may be out and about! My own dogs have all had the Rattlesnake vaccine and boosters just in case, as well as avoidance training. Rattlers are part of the Southern California landscape, period. Although I've never seen one on this property, we do occasionally see Gopher snakes or (my favorite) the majestic King snake! It would be foolish to pretend like Rattlers couldn't be here, somewhere. It's best to be vigilant, particularly if you see your dog fixated on something "in the grass." Be safe, have fun!

Additional rules

Sorry, but in an effort to avoid any last minute surprises, I'm going to ask for at least a 12 hour window before making any changes to your scheduled visits once booked. Please don't allow your dog to dig holes in the Sniffspot venue as it creates a hazard for other dogs that may be running in the space. Sorry to say, but many guests are not doing a very thorough job of picking up their dogs' droppings! In order to keep a clean venue for all to enjoy, I ask that everyone do their best to clean up after their dog\dogs. Also, please return all toys and balls to their assigned recepticles before leaving the field. Thank you! Enjoy!

The Artsy Dog Place 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Southwest Escondido

Fully Fenced
1 acre

Picture this: You and your pup, nestled in the shade of magnificent oak and pepper trees, perched atop a gentle hill. As you both catch your breath from climbing the gentle hill, you can't help but be captivated by the view that stretches out before you in this is unique one acre fenced open space, in Southwest Escondido. The perfect blend of tranquility and countryside feel, all within reach of Rancho Bernardo, Lake Hodges, 4S Ranch, Penasquitos and San Marcos and 5 min away from I-15 and just 16 min. drive to Pacific Highlands Ranch in Carmel Valley.

Leave your mark on the shed, whether it's a message, a signature, or a whimsical drawing or paint a rock and help us start our collection! It's a place where dreams take shape, fostering a sense of togetherness and inspiration. Thoughtfully designed with your pet's safety in mind. It is securely fenced. With 2 sides of the fence, standing 6 feet tall, while the other two sides are fenced at 4 & 5 feet in height. This ensures that your dog can freely enjoy their playtime while staying safely contained. As you enjoy the serene surroundings, you might hear chickens, roosters and goats in the distance and catch glimpses of squirrels and hawks. And if you're lucky, maybe even a curious gopher or two. Nature truly thrives here! When you arrive, simply park horizontally next to the fence and enter through our black metal door, which will be open for your convenience. Doggy bags are available for your use, ensuring a clean and enjoyable experience for everyone. We also offer Homemade bug repellent. Feel free to use it, be aware that some of the ingredients may cause irritation/allergy. Ingredients: Rosemary, lavender and citronella grown in our property, lavender and citrus oil, cloves, water, alcohol, organic soap. Please be aware that a lot of ground squirrels live on the property, so there may be some holes, please dress appropriately when you visit (no heels recommended).

Our neighbor values their privacy greatly, and we aim to ensure a harmonious environment for everyone.

"This field is huge! My dogs had an amazing time running around and exploring 😍 There is shade under the trees, and the part that wasn't fenced in wasn't an issue for us. If your dogs don't have solid recall, stick to the fenced side. The whole place is so big, you shouldn't have a problem getting a good amount of walking/running in, without coming too close to the un-fenced side. I walked around for about 2 miles, and I'm guessing my dogs probably did twice that 😆 The host was nice and allowed extra time, because I took a wrong turn coming there and was late to my booked time. We will definitely be back."
