55Love this place! Very relaxing and quiet right down the road from central Julian. Our dogs loved it, it was the perfect amount of walking for our senior girl and plenty of room to play ball with our younger guy! The neighbor’s dog did come say hi so I would recommend making sure your dog is comfortable around other dogs before coming here. Karen A.

Chip's 4 Acre Partially Fenced Private Dog Park In Julian | Sniffspot
55Chip was very helpful and response I’ve when I contacted him about any potential dogs on the property since we have a reactive dog. His property has great views along the trails they have made and we got to watch thunderstorms in the distance and saw a rainbow too. The trail was quiet and the only sounds we had were the neighbors dogs when we first drove in but we didn’t have any interaction with them. Parking was plentiful and easy to figure out based on the information Chip provided. We were a little confused on what we should do when we got there and where to go but we quickly saw the cute white handmade signs along the trail. Enjoyed our walk and we would absolutely come back and since he’s located close to us we might use Chip for training for our little reactive guy! Shelly A.

55So fun!! Large open area, lots of different things to do. There’s an obstacle course, a couple kiddie pools, tons of fun toys! Owner was super nice. I’ve visited several Sniffspots over the past few months and this one may be my favorite spot!
I have a leash-reactive dog and live in the city and it was so nice to take a break from our normal training and let him just be a dog enjoying the outdoors (in a safe environment) for an evening.😊
Will definitely be returning and would recommend checking this Sniffspot out!Mariah I.

55For our very first visit to a sniff spot, Circle G Ranch set the standard very high. The owner welcomed us at the gate and gave a thorough introduction to their property. The owner is kind and warm and welcoming. Our dog has so many amazing amenities available. There is plenty of room for lots of running, agility obstacles, lots of sitting places for the humans, a doggy swim pool, for when the weather gets a little warmer, and even a hose if we want to wash off our pups after running around the yard. There was also a covered table for us to sit and enjoy the afternoon. We will definitely be back!X X.

55Everything was perfect! Plenty of space for the pups to run and get out all of their energy. Ryan was super helpful and communicated about the grounds being wet after the rain this last week. We can’t wait to come back!Hannah N.

55It’s always nice to visit Circle G Ranch. My dogs love it there. Everything is clean, there’s nothing plenty for my dogs to do, and the roosters crowing in the background is just a bonus! We highly recommend! Michelle N.

55Our dogs had such a wonderful time at the Circle G Ranch! So much room to run (and run and run and run)! Ryan couldn't have been a more gracious host and provided everything his 4-legged and 2-legged guests could need. He also kept us informed and updated on the damp conditions so we were prepared. This is our first ever Sniffspot visit, and this positive experience has us looking forward to many more.Cheryl P.

FAQ about our Julian 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Julian 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 143 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 19 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
