55We came to this sniffspot for the first time and were not disappointed! The yard was open and spacious, while also being very private and secure. They had outdoor furniture for owners to sit on and provided a variety of toys and balls for the pups to choose from. Poop bags and an ice water bowl were also readily available, which was a very sweet touch. Overall a great experience, will definitely book again. We left with a couple of happy and tired pups!Dayana I.

55I visited this Sniffpost with my visually impaired 5 month old corgi puppy and her corgi bestie who is blind and deaf. They really enjoyed exploring all the different smells and textures in the yard together. The water provided was nice and cool which they really appreciated in such a warm day. Parking was easy and covered sofa seating was very comfortable for us humans. Hosts were sweet and provided the access code in a timely manner. This was a first time using a Sniffspot and it was a great success. Will definitely be back to this spot. Thank you! Julia C.

55This was a great sniffspot with lots of space for our dog and toddler to run around and play, shaded sitting area for people, dog toys to play with and a fresh water station for pups. communication was great and it was easy to find and enter the yard. It was also very clean and well maintained and we had a great time. It was our dog's bday and adoption anniversary and we live in an apartment so wanted to rent a yard for her to play freely with our toddler since at parks we're wrangling both of them to keep them out of trouble haha. Would highly recommend this spot.Aditi D.

55First time using Sniffspot, as we wanted a big space to host a birthday party!
Area was very spacious and included many amenities for dogs. Parking was easy to find and the gate entry was easily accessible. Since it was a birthday party, the hosts put up a very cute birthday banner for the photos backdrop! This was such a fun party, thank you to the hosts for letting us celebrate here!Tiffany Y.

FAQ about our Fountain Valley 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?
