55Gorgeous views, plenty of room to run, and all the necessities in case we forgot anything at home. That hill driving in was a little treacherous, but this place is worth it! Our dog will be sleeping well tonight.Lizzie M.

55Awesome spot! The detailed directions made it easy to locate, and all the thought out extras around the spot were great. We made the mistake of coming in the afternoon on a warm day, so the ground was a little too toasty for our pups' paws. We will definitely be back on a cooler day though! Ashley M.

55What a great spot to let your dog roam! Lots of room to run, sniff and play, with great views for the humans. Super clean with no smell at all. Jen’s directions are perfect. Lucas had a great time and so did we! Thanks Jen. We’ll be back. Irene G.

55I so much enjoyed this beautiful natural spot with my two dogs. I have already made another reservation. The road is steep going up with your car and walking down (a very short walk) to the designated area for your dog you need good shoes especially with my dogs who tend to pull. We loved it and could work on training and playing ball etc. I would definitely recommend Jen's dog paradise (enjoyable for people too)! Rebecca L.

55It was a clean and well-kept property. Easy to find using the directions provided by the host. The area was slightly small for our four large dogs for a two hour visit. Overall, it was a good experience for the dogs. We are not sure if there’s a restroom available for guests. Janet V.

55Getting there is part of the adventure. We took 3 dogs and they all had great fun exploring. The initial climb is steep but the rest is a super easy short hike with 2 flat areas. Plenty shade, plenty places to sit. Marlise H.

55Jen was great to be in contact with once I reserved my spot. Everything was as stated on the site and app. It's amazed me and my wife that Jen and her family would be so generous and kind to open up their home for Sniffspot. Our dogs had a blast running around the property and we had a lovely time just enjoying the breathtaking view. I must be honest, I was hesitant to leave a review because I don't want this place to become crowded! But we thought of Jen and her family and wanted to let them know how grateful we are for such a place. It's truly a gem. Thank you guys!Duc T.

55My foster dog and I had a lovely time visiting! It is such a peaceful setting to explore, and my dog quite enjoyed all the smells (and chasing the occasional lizard!). This was a fantastic option for a nice long-line meander without needing to be vigilant about running into other dogs or people. We will definitely be back!Becca S.

FAQ about our Malibu 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?

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 Malibu 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 231 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 35 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
