55This was our first time trying sniffspot and we couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. Not only was the space beautiful but my pup had the best birthday run around, something we don’t get with our patio. Most definitely will be returning!Sabyna X.

55I brought Merrill, my Doberman rescue of two months, to this park on the recommendation of my trainer. He never learned to properly play with other dogs and at 95 pounds, that's a problem in the typical dog park. So while we continue to work on his playing etiquette, this is a great alternative.
He loved it! He ran and sniffed to his hearts content and the end of the hour, he was so exhausted he almost couldnt get in my SUV. It's such a lot space nestled in beautiful, peaceful rolling hills.
I will be bringing him back here...regularly.Nellie N.

55Love Pepper Road and so does Bianca. No distractions close by, which is super important for my reactive girl. Nancy is so thoughtful -- she has dog toys, chairs & tables, a covered space in case of rain, towels if needed for you dog and blankets to wrap up in bc sometimes it's cold and windy in Petaluma even when the sun is shining. So kind 😊Miel L.

55This spot has buildings, behind which one can hide to practice recall & find-me with your dog's. There's even a small dog agility set up in an inner, fenced yard. Penny L.

55This is a wonderful spot to allow your dog to run and play. There are lots of toys and even some agility equipment to keep your dog engaged. We discovered an honor bar that offered drinks and snacks while you are there. The yard was clean and safe and easy to find. We will definitely bring our pup back! April G.

55This location was excellent! Very spacious, quiet surroundings, and great amenities (plenty of toys, seating, water bowls, blankets, towels, etc.) I really appreciated that the grass was nice and short, I didn’t have to worry about foxtails. The area is very clean and well kept. My dog did a lot of sniffing, followed by lots of running and playing, and she had an awesome time. We will definitely be returning!Kristina N.

55What a fantastic spot! Nancy was very communicative and helpful! I asked beforehand about the kiddie pool feature and right as we got to the spot, she had just filled it up for us.
We loved how much space there was, the kiddie pools, and she even has a snack bar (honor system of donating 50 cents). There was a variety of dog toys to play with too. Fences were secure. We did see some people nearby but our dogs didn’t mind them. Truly a gem of a spot. Will definitely be coming back. Erin F.

55Nancy is so good at keeping up her Sniffspot for us to enjoy. Always keeping ahead of the worst foxtails. Providing honor-system snacks & drinks for the humans. Great places to sit between playing with the dogs. Thanks Nancy! Penny L.

55Harley had a good 15 minutes of running and sniffing today, but it was just too hot for a full hour, so he jumped back in the car. Still, he enjoyed riding in the car with the windows rolled down. We'll be back again!Roxanne G.
