55This is a very cute place! It would be perfect for summer since it’s very shady with lots of lush cool grass. The host printed out a super cute personalized picture and wrote a welcome note next to some biscuits, water and frisbees.
We have people and dog reactive dogs, and this was very quiet and relaxing. Loved it!Tiffany B.

55This backyard is awesome!! Yair leaves out treats water and toys for you to use. My only recommendation is if your dog is sensitive to noise, pick a time where neighbors won’t be out and about. This is not the hosts fault at all, but we came on a Saturday afternoon, and there was a lot of people coming and going, which distracted our dog. We will definitely be back, just during a weekday! Thank you Yair!! Ashlee H.

55Loved it! Hosts were communicative and helpful, easy parking and entry, tons of different areas to explore in a really delightful space! We were able to hear some barks/activity over the north wall that got mine pretty excited, but I don’t think it would be an issue for most unless you have an extra sensitive dog and need to specifically avoid that. We will be back for sure!Lori D.

55Title is 110% accurate! We’ve got two 80 lb dogs and they had so much area to explore! They both love wading but not swimming, there’s a huge shallow area in the pool, perfect for our girls. Host was very friendly (he likes to greet you on your first visit), the yard is very easy to enter and exit, we’ll definitely be back!David R.

55Nice big yard for playing and throwing the ball around. Umbrella by the pool adds some additional shade. Large Baja step into the pool is perfect for dogs new to swimming or still getting used to the water. Overall it’s a beautiful backyard and we had a great experience. Christine W.

55Wow. What a great place. We were greeted warmly and shown how to open gate, etc…Our pup didn’t know whether to run around the property or jump in the pool. She did both with ears flying and tail wagging. We will definitely return!! Thank you!!Ann P.

55Scout loved his time here and we can’t wait to go back. The pool and yard are very well maintained and the steps in the pool make it very easy for the pup to get in and out of. Drew was a great host and very communicative. We hope to book again soon!Kyle K.

55We took our 4 dogs, ranging in age from 11 years old to 3 1/2 months old. We had the absolute best time. The yard is beautiful, immaculate, and super dog friendly. They were prepared for us. There was water, towels, poo bags and dog toys. Lots of room for the dogs to run around and play with a fantastic swimming pool. I highly recommend this for dogs of all ages and energy levels. 5 stars!! Thank you!!carrie g.

55Excellent host! Yard was amazing - plenty of space for dogs to run and the Baja step in the pool was hit with our pups. Let them have free choice to use or not. Toys and water bowl were provided too. We’ll be back! Ashley P.

55Compared to other properties within a 45 minute radius, which show dead grass, dirt, or just a patio, this spot is great for water loving dogs and/or dogs that want to retrieve, or multiple dogs who want to play. There is grass on either side of the pool and it does get quite sloshy after a lot of swimming, so be sure to bring shoes you don't mind getting messy if you have a dog that likes to swim! Plenty of places to sit, lots of large shade trees and a patio if you want to stay out of the sun, and easy to find entry. The photos are accurate in regards to what to expect. I stay with my folks when visiting the area, and this was a welcomed break from their desert landscaping.Jen M.

FAQ about our Lake Montezuma 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. 99% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Lake Montezuma 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 16 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 3 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.
