55Amazing spot for our dogs to play together! Felt completely safe letting them off leash and able to roam the yard at their leisure. The pool was gated off so we weren’t worried about the dogs falling in (one cant swim). Cant wait to come again. Elizabeth S.

55The space was exactly as pictured, clean and upkept. Lots of sniffs! The cute messages included here and there made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked through the gate. Thank you for sharing your sniff spot with us. My senior dogs had an blast. It was a great 10th birthday for my golden girl, Nova. Michelle F.

55I almost don’t want to leave a review so we can have the space all to ourselves. Haha! It’s large and clean and my 2 big boys are absolutely tired from sniffing and running. My dog had the zoomies there and he hasn’t had that in a while because he has some medical issues. He was just so excited he ran it off! It’s clean and spacious and with lots of little touches.

55Lovely spot with lots of room to roam! Our pups had an absolute blast as always and enjoyed the wide range of toys. The yard has a mixture of turf and dirt terrains. Water and waste baggies are provided. The tunnel was also fun and offered great enrichment for our more energetic pup. We also appreciated the personalized welcome note and quick response to our questions by the host. Thank you for sharing your wonderful place!Lisbeth M.

55This was our first Sniffspot and it was great! The place was clean and easy to find. We brought our own toys, but there were also toys there. This was the perfect place to let our husky, Avalanche, sniff and run all he wanted.Dawn W.

FAQ about our El Cajon dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
