55First time using Sniffspot and this place was amazing! Took my dogs Anna and Avatar as well as Avatars sister for their birthday and they had so much fun running around exploring. Host filled up a kiddie pool for them with water, had water available to drink for the pups and it was safe and clean. I’d highly recommend this spot for its quirky decor, big open space and plenty of areas for your pups to explore Alexis N.

55Very nice place to let the dogs run. I was taking a road trip and needed a last minute place to let my high energy dog run. The host was very accommodating and I was able to make a reservation within an hour. My dogs had a great time and the decorations were fun for photo ops. Jenny A.

55Very spacious for my big dog to run around and sniff while my friends and I are entertained by the buildings around! The host was kind, especially with the last min delay :) Hannah S.

55My mountain-goat poodle had a blast climbing on the boulders. The puppy needs to learn not to climb to the highest point and jump off (we got some great shots of her flying), happily no injuries. We’ll definitely be back.Debra T.

55We really enjoyed this Sniffspot! Lots of space to explore, cool rocks, lots of chairs in different areas if you fancy chillin' out. Keep in mind that this Sniffspot is pretty steep. There is not much flat land, so good exercise! Wear proper shoes so you don't slip. There were some grassy areas but mostly dirt. We were pleased that the host left us a cooler filled with water bottles, and sunblock, hand sanitizer. We also enjoyed the covered gazebo. The site lists an indoor restroom, but when we asked, the host informed us she wasn't home to let us in, which is fine. We were surprised that a Sniffspot would offer a bathroom anyway. Connie S.

55It was huge! We weren’t expecting it to be this big honestly. Everything was amazing and very well kept. The chickens were an added bonus too! They were so nice and quite so my dogs went up to sniff but then got distracted by literally everything else—great socialization!Sabrina C.

55Instructions were clear and easy. Chickens are well protected with multiple fences so even my prey driven dogs were distanced enough to be able to leave them alone. The backyard was clean, lots of water bowls, toys accessible. My pups loved running through the ice plant and jumping on rocks. They were exhausted! One thing I'll do next time is bring hiking boots - if you plan on following your pups, some dirt paths down the hill might be a little slippery. We will be back!Michelle K.

FAQ about our Big Bear 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Big Bear 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 234 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 28 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
