55The location was a bit hard to find and smaller than I expected, but it is the perfect place for us to train our pups for off leash activities. It was clean, quiet, and secluded. We look forward to coming back soon. Rosie C.

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.

55Such a fun place to bring Kash! He isn’t so great with other people or Dog friends so it’s nice to have the privacy to let him roam and play. Recommend to any and everyone whenever I get the chance! Summer S.

55just lovely! i have an elderly dog who likes exploring on his own and a younger reactionary dog that enjoys running and exploring but we cant take her hiking because we always fear her reaction to off leash dogs. this place was a godsend. both our pups and my husband and i has a fabulous time. the hubby’s first comment after we got in the car: “so when are we coming back?” love this place and love them for opening up their land to us. THANK YOU for your generosity. also great instructions and tips for making it an A+ experience. Jacky H.

55Todays adventure at Quail View Ranch was great! Me and my dog had an amazing time connecting with the nature, and we didn't have to worry about running into any other dogs or any kind of troubles, of course! This is an excellent playground for any type of dog, everything was super convenient, plenty of space to run and sniff. We had fun! I did not want to leave. Zhanna K.

55We had a great time! The spot was spacious and all the amenities (sunscreen, poop bags, wifi, etc) were there as described. No issues reaching the spot with our Toyota Corolla. It was in the 90s when we went so a bit hot for the dogs, but we will be back especially in cooler weather!Rachel A.

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.

55Great location, plenty of space for my dog to run around and sniff safely. So grateful for the owners to share their property with us. Hope to be back again soon ! We did a 1.5 hour time slot which gave us plenty of time to explore and sit/relax. Directions were exactly as described and easy to follow.Katie M.

55A nice place to allow the pups off leash. A short little hike and well maintained area in the middle of picturesque nature. Dogs got tuckered out.
Directions to the site were excellent, thank you.Christine F.

55We love coming here! Beau runs around sniffing all the bushes, we throw a ball for him, play chase, and hike around the property. We live in an apartment and go for several long walk a day, but nothing compares to Beau being able to run free! Numerous lounge chairs and tables with chairs dot the property so you can relax and take in this idealic property. Today was hot, and we were glad we brought water and a water bowl for Beau. Our host had sunscreen on the Welcome Table...Thank you!!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful property!!!!Pam 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?
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 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 222 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 32 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.
