Beautiful sloped, hiking terrain property, with a fully enclosed fence with a large water cooler with waters for humans and dogs. Dogs had such a fun time running and jumping, we will be frequenting this spot.
55This is a great place to bring your dogs to run and run and run! There are hills and rocks and plenty of room to run freely. I was a bit nervous at first because we noticed some snake or gopher holes but that is to be expected out in a rural area. It does look like the owner has covered several of the holes. My pups are super inquisitive and were able to go under the cactus plant and a few of the other bushes/ trees that had leaves covering the ground. Again, I was a bit nervous about the possibility of snakes. However, this is something to be aware of in all outdoor spaces. My dogs and children left happy and tired! Brandy H.

55Our pups had so much fun!! There were water bowls and toys available, and the space was so fun for them to explore. They loved climbing the rocks, sniffing all the plants and sprinting around. We’ll be back!Chloe W.

55We always have a great time here. I love seeing the steady improvements that Katie makes to her beautiful yard. My dogs get such good exercise running up and down the hill. The views are fantastic! Vickie C.

55We had a great time here. My dog enjoys getting up on rocks, so it was fun for her and she had plenty of room to sniff and explore. The host was communicative and helpful and the spot was pretty clean (a couple of leftover poops, but it’s a big spot so I totally get that it could be easy to miss).
Most of this info the host provided, but in case this info might be helpful to people with reactive dogs who rent SniffSpots to avoid other people/dogs, here it is:
Dogs: Heard a dog/s barking from inside twice. On the way out it seemed like the dog was closer/outside (possibly in a deck?) when the dog was barking which made me a little nervous. My dog does fine with other dogs, but I know a lot of dogs who go to SSs wouldn’t do well with that.
Other Animals:
No other animals visible or audible except lots of little lizards :)
People: The fencing is secure, but see-through, so it was easy to see the neighbor doing gardening/yard work virtually the whole time. I wanted to share this bc I know this could really affect some dogs’ ability to enjoy the spot.
Fencing:
Seemed super secure, didn’t notice any gaps that were relevant to my dog’s sizeJessica S.

55Amazing spot. Lots of rocks and space to climb and roam. Went at 630pm and it was dark out - needed flashlights but there were little dim garden lamps all over that helped. Will be coming back again for sureDan G.

FAQ about our Joshua Tree 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 Joshua Tree 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 90 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 10 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
