55This spot was great! It was our first time visiting a sniffspot, and their first time hosting. My dog is leash-reactive and generally an anxious boy, so it was so nice to get away from the city and be able to let him off leash without have to drive 45+ minutes from San Diego. We took a 25ft training lead for backup and first walked him around the area on leash so we could check it out and see if there were sreas to avoid. We then let him off and watched him explore! There was so much space for my little guy to run around, and it was so quiet compared to what we're used to. We heard people and caught a glimpse of a neighbor's dog, but Wiggles was occupied sniffing around (and rolling in the dirt lol) so he didnt mind. We could hear birds chirping and there was a beautiful view for the humans. We'll definitely be back!Olivia P.

55First time user of Sniffspot. Good directions, easy to find. The property is as advertised. On the day we were there it was quiet. Plenty of space for my dog to explore and toss the ball. A great experience.Kari L.

55WAY exceeded our expectations! She was very polite and totally offered to give us lots of space and privacy, but also offered to let her dog out to play with ours- they had a BLAST! She seems like a very competent trainer. Our dog is leaving pooped and happy! Will definitely be returning on a regular basis.Tali N.

55Awesome place for dogs who’d rather sniff versus run in open spaces. We have 2 Great Danes and they were exhausted after 25 mins. They were so much more active here compared to open grass areas. So many scents and different places to climb. They loved it and we will be back. I. R.

55The house is beautiful. The yard is awesome. I didn’t pick any fruit but they do have huge fruit trees. Great space for dogs to run around I also brought my 4 year old son and he was running all over and I don’t know who enjoyed it more. :) I even met the owners of the home in passing they were also lovely.

FAQ about our Lakeside 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 Lakeside 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 121 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 17 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.
