55We loved it so much we came back the next day! Seriously, the best place to take your pup ever! I will say that this time around, whoever came previously before us did not clean up after their furry ones too well- there were about 3 spots with dog droppings. Even though we did encounter this, I will not be taking a star off because this is not the property owner’s fault what’s so ever! I think it’s so important that we all do our part and clean up after our dogs and messes not only to keep Nancy’s place in prime condition but for the next guests as well and so on… there are plenty of bags provided and trash cans so there should be no excuses for other folks! We are renting the spot after all… it’s the least we can do to keep enjoying the clean space. Thanks again! Megan L.

55Great spot with level ground which is amazing for my tennis ball loving dog! They can run without worry of holes. Freshly mowed grass and a beautiful setting. Ashleigh D.

55Another fabulous day for Loki! He was so excited and ran for the first 10 minutes, after our cruise around the perimeter. Then some ball playing, pointing at birds, locating some people on the road talking (and Loki NOT barking!!! win!!) and then some training. All together an excellent day. For Loki, in training to show him the world is not frightening, this is a perfect place for him to experience all the distractions - wind, animals, smells, people - and see they will not hurt him. He even engaged his brain :)
Field was medium length green grass and dirt, not too muddy. Water available to wash off shoes if necessary. Fencing is secure and tall. Plenty of room for dog and human to have a great time. We will be back!!Kathleen R.

55Out of the 3 sniff spots we went to, this has by far been our favorite. You can tell they really want you to have a great time….I swear there’s 100 tennis balls. We will be regulars!Kayla M.

55This was our first time ever using Sniffspot and our two Jack Russell Terriers had a blast! A huge amount of space to run around and a nice big tree to sit under for shade. We would definitely visit here again in the future. Kyle K.

55Great location! My reactive dog was a little freaked out at times by the cows but had a safe and fun time. We'll be returning for sure! Love the greenery. Elliott P.

55We always love bringing our dog to the Pepper Rd play park. We have a reactive pup and there’s no other place she can run and be off leash. I love how secure and well taken care of it is.Stephanie D.

55My Hazel always loves coming. Being a reactive dog, we can never let her off leash. At the Sniff Spot, she can run to her hearts content and come home a tired pup.Stephanie D.

55Amazing- clean with a beautiful view. Directions to get in were easy to follow. It’s been raining like crazy and my dog was less muddy than when I take him for a walk on leash at Helen putnamMadeline K.

55Best sniffspot we've visited! Huge area, solid fence, not muddy. Included shady areas, multiple benches and chairs, and raised beds for the dogs. Very quiet. There are cows across the road but they were very far away. We felt pretty isolated the whole time. Host was really accommodating of my reactive doggo - mentioned it to their neighbor so they'd keep their dogs inside. We had a blast!Rani M.

55Our pups had a lot of fun at this SniffSpot! It was completely fenced with no gaps. The yard was clean, large and grassy. It wasn’t very muddy but some spots were a bit slippery.
I also really loved the views of Petaluma farmland from here.Leela P.

FAQ about our Fort Bragg 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. 100% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Fort Bragg 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 2 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 1 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.
