55My dog and my friend’s dog really enjoyed sniffing around the yard. Lots for them to explore. We booked very last minute (less than 20 mins before) so our host didn’t have time to clean off the furniture and set it up for the humans. We were happy we brought our own water bowl for the dogs, too. I am sure things would be different if we booked in advance. The host was very nice and welcoming. Thank you for allowing us to use your yard. Laura M.

55Nice spot with a decent sized shady and grassy run way for playing ball. Some tree branches are a little low along with a string of overhead lights but it wasn’t a problem for me considering my height, just had to be mindful of how I threw the ball. Monce V.

55Alex’s backyard was awesome. There was plenty of space for my large doberman and malinois puppy to run around. It was my puppy’s first time running in a yard and he was so stoked. The host was also so nice and accommodating. Highly recommend. Ara L.

55Very nice patch of green grass with nice tall fences and hedges. A bowl of fresh water and cold bottle of water were there on our arrival. Our Otis really enjoyed his visit and the early evening breeze. Lots of sun and plenty of shade, and a few nice chairs for us to be lazy. It was easy to park on the street and the space felt very secluded. We couldn’t be happier about our visit. Thank you to Alex! We love the rainbow paint job. Just right.Josh N.

55We had a great time. Plenty of space to romp, sniff, and explore. It rained recently which provided some good mud patches to trot through (just enough to have fun without getting too messy). We will definitely be back to this spot. Stephanie G.

FAQ about our Malibu small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Malibu?
There are 133 small dog parks in the Malibu area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
