55Perfect size for my large pup to run around! There's shade for the dog among the plants, and shade and chairs on the deck for humans. Water and toys for the dogs as well, it's a puppy paradise. Thank you Robyn!Veronika T.

55My dog really loves this place and I appreciate the toys to use and Robyn event had a clean balls box and a used balls box! We got this place to train our leash reactive dog that barks and noise, so a heads up that there’s beautiful bird activity near this home and other dogs that bark. Great experience for us and we look forward to returning. aylene r.

55Great yard with room to run and sniff. Very private and quiet. My dogs had a great time. I love that there are balls and toys for the pups. Got to practice some training with my young dog with minimal distractions, but still in a new environment.Wendy B.

55Amazing spot for my pups to run! They had an amazing time and it’s a super cozy space. It was raining when we arrived, but that contributed more to the atmosphere. We will for sure come again. Anna N.

55Big enough for the big pups to run around. Lots of shady areas to stay fresh during warm days. Provided a water bowl with water and poop bags, which we didn't need since we came prepared with our ownStephanie Q.

55This is a big yard with lots of room for dogs to run and explore. There weren’t specific instructions for entry, but it was easy to figure out. My dog enjoyed the provided ball and drank all of the water the Host left out. The yard is on a hill, and as is common on a hill, is a bit uneven in spots, so I would recommend wearing sturdy shoes. Fun spot! I’m sure we will return!Christina S.

55My Goldendoole loved this space! She had plenty of space to run around and explore. The distinction between the clean and dirty balls was a nice touch - as well as the shaded area for the humans. Would definitely go back! Monserrat G.

55Lots of room to play! My pup enjoyed sitting under the tree after zooming around the yard. It's a quiet neighborhood, and the patio area is a nice place for fur parents to watch their fur babies having a blast. Will definitely come back!Erika P.

FAQ about our Canyon 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 Canyon 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 132 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 20 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.
