55This was our first time using Sniffspot. Michael reached out after we reserved to let us know there was water/mud due to the rains, which we were prepared for. The boys had a great time - and then baths when we got home! There were neighborhood dogs but they were not an issue for our dogs - mine ran the fence with one of them for a while and the others were just hanging out so we had no issuesLori G.

55My dogs had a great time here! It was muddy from the rain but the owner let us know ahead of time! My dog had a lot of fun jumping in the puddles and running around! It’s a great spot for dogs to run around and burn off some energy! We’ll definitely be back! Marisol G.

55Amazing spot! Thor had such a fantastic time, there was so much to play with and so much room in which to do so. There was plenty of comfortable seating, the stick library was adorable and possibly Thor’s favorite part he’ll be bringing some to donate next time. The host was kind and responsive. If I could give more stars I would.Teresa A.

55Such a perfect SniffSpot! There is so much to do, but our dog got the most enjoyment out of running around the large yard and rolling in the mud. I can’t wait to bring him back again.
Location is easy to find and access during reserved hours. There are many amenities like toys, poop scooper and bags. We really liked the seating area and shade. In the seating area there was even a grass mat for your dog to sit in the shade and cool off from playtime too. Our dog loved that.
10/10, thank you for putting in so much effort into creating a safe, fun dog park for our pup. Jenn S.

55First time going to a sniff spot and it was a great experience. If your dog is barrier aggressive I’d recommend staying away from the neighbors side because there dogs will bark at the fence line but other than that the space was clean, there was enough space to sit and relax and my dog really enjoyed the ball bin!

55Great spot! Nice and big with lots of equipment, balls, sticks, and lots of great stuff to sniff. There are other dogs in the area who might come up to the fence line, so heads up if your dogs are reactive. Our two thought this was a great bonus. They've been napping all afternoon. We'll definitely come to this spot again!Jacob L.

55Awesome spot!! There’s some burrs in the field that could be a problem for long haired dogs but we didn’t have any issues - no burrs in his paws or hair! There are dogs on the other side of one of the fences but after saying hi they moved onto something else. The location itself has tons of attention to detail with toys, sticks, agility equipment, tires, etc! Abby B.

55The area was great, the neighbors were nice, the dogs were friendly in the neighbors yards, and the views around the property were beautiful too. My dogs had a great time. My only worry of the day were the thorns that are everywhere. I had to pick some out of my dogs paws which were noticeably painful when they got poked. So a minor suggestion would be to eradicate those thorny plants. Other than that this was a great Sniffspot and we would love to return. Jamie F.

If your dog needs a fully fenced in area to run free this is a great option for you. If you have any questions about if this Sniffspot would work for your dog, message the host - they’re awesome!

FAQ about our Madera 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 Madera 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 61 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 4 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.
