55This was our second time coming to this sniffspot because it is a great flat area for our pup to run around. Our shoes got a little muddy when we went earlier in the morning. The first visit, the cows came up pretty close and the second time there was a neighbor with their three dogs out. There is a surplus of poop bags and the fencing was sturdy and tall. We will definitely be coming back! Brieanne F.

55Our fur babies needed a good run and time for recall training. We really value having a safe place for both and we really enjoyed our time. We left with two happy, tired dogs. The host thoughtfully left out useful items including towels and holiday treats, both which we appreciated very much! Carol A.

55This is by far the best sniffspot. Huge area. There are never people waking their dogs, no dogs barking, and the fencing is far better & safer than anywhere else in Sonoma. In addition, being able to park inside the field makes it much safer when you have dogs to unload. Lauren D.

55I added this comment last time but as it wasn’t added, hopefully this time it will be added. This place is the safest largest place for my dogs. You get to park inside the field and so don’t have to worry about off loading dogs right by a busy road. Fencing is safe. No neighbors ever walk by so it’s perfect for reactive dogs as there wont be people out walking with dogs right by the fence line. Also no barking dogs in the area. Large field and plenty of space.

55Wow! What a treat Pepper Road Playpark is. Very easy instructions are sent upon booking that helped navigate the property. My Golden had the time of her life! We live in an apartment and dog parks are a bit too stimulating for my goofy girl so this is an absolute treasure. She wore herself out and was ready to go before the full hour but it was worth the trip and every penny. I look forward to returning and making this a regular outing. Thank you Nancy!Alicia J.

FAQ about our Briones small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Briones?
There are 100 small dog parks in the Briones area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
