55It was the perfect afternoon! Luna had so much fun. The owner of this sniff spot had thought of everything! Water, towels, paw scrubbers, even a speaker. It was also a great combination of physical activity and mental stimulation, she is so tired out! We will definitely be coming back :)Shahla P.

55What a fun space! My pal joined us with her dog and I think us girls had more fun than the dogs! We were reminded to play, jump, draw and just enjoy being alive. Everywhere was an opportunity to play with our pups. Chuck it balls, trampoline, slides, swings and lots of open space to roam! We had a blast! Thank youWyn H.

55Love visiting here! My dog loves running up the hill, plenty of space for your fur baby to run and sniff. No holes in the gate. The seating area for owners is really nice and relaxing with pretty lights if you go at night. This is my go to spot without a doubt! Sarah A.

55We had a blast at Canine Canyon for my dogs 10th birthday! Cindy is so kind and made sure we had everything we needed leading up to my baby’s special day. They have a birthday package for a small extra fee which is so cool! The space is huge and the detail put into it is great. There are toys, enrichment areas, a stick library, water bowls, towels, seating for humans, and more! We will definitely be back. Victoria H.

55This backyard is so amazing! Super private, lots of space to run around, lots of toys. Absolutely perfect for my old pup that can’t do dog parks. Host thought of everything! Used the super convenient dog wash station before we left. Would highly recommend and come back!Marie M.

55This sniff spot is top notch and my dogs favorite! Host is always responsive and helpful, the spot is always clean and there are plenty of amenities for you and your dog. My dog can be very reactive, thankfully the play area is large and gated off from the home. Knowing someone isn’t going to accidentally wander into the yard allows me to relax while my dog plays off leash. Thank you for opening your home to us and giving my dog a safe place to get his energy out!Brandon H.

55Perfect little spot! My dog was pooped after just a half hour of playing fetch on the hill. The last half hour he really enjoyed sniffing around the yard. I appreciate that the pricks in the cactus were removed. Will definitely be back. Emily K.

FAQ about our La Mesa dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in La Mesa?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs 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. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
