55After a slight hiccup with scheduling (she didn’t realize her site was live) she graciously allowed us to visit her sniff spot. She’s still in the process of getting everything set up to open and I have to say she’s off to a great start. There were so many places for my dog to explore. We will be back once she’s up and running. Sofie V.

55We loved Aspen’s SniffSpot! It was huuuuge and we were able to find a huge spot in the corner of the property where all 3 of our dogs were running and having the time of their life without distractions. We will definitely be back!Melissa C.

55Our dogs had a nice time! TL;DR: this is a good sized property with a lot of natural water and amenities still in development.
The app doesn't seem to be working seamlessly for Aspen: it hadn't notified her we were coming. But she came right out and let us in. Hopefully the company can get things working for her.
The property, Aspen said, is 4-5 acres total. It's fully surrounded by a 6-foot chainlink fence -- very secure. Aspen's home and her own handful of dogs are inside the fence. She put her dogs on lines when we came in and directed us to use the portion of the property that's downhill, away from the house -- a parcel of (I'm guessing here) about 3 acres.
So, if you have a dog that's very reactive and can't be trusted to stay with you, it's important to understand that the owner and the owner's dogs will be inside the fence with you. Your dog could potentially run up to the house and start trouble. For this reason we kept our dogs on leash (they're very large and one is really a problem with other dogs). But for most dogs, the situation should be fine. And Aspen mentioned she plans to add more fencing to separate the Sniffspot from the rest of the property.
The Sniffspot area consists of a grassy field with some logs, and also a natural pond surrounded by floodplain planted densely with eucalytus. Tons of birds! This large wet area is bordered by a raised dirt road, which is nicely maintained and pleasant to walk. So, you can walk a nice figure-eight around the field and the floodplain on completely dry ground.
If you have a dog who likes getting wet, bring towels, because there's water and mud aplenty.
There's plenty of farm-type stuff around (tires, vehicles, wood, etc), so you'll want to be able to call your dog away from anything you don't want them messing with.
All in all, a great spot!Alex B.

55Enjoyed our little adventure! We came out on a minutes notice during a wet, cloudy day. We expected soft grass, mud, and puddles. But there was enough space to find a generous patch of grass that our furbabes could enjoy. And so did we! The only thing that concerned us was the other small dogs on the property. However, they did not approach us. Overall we felt like we had the place to ourselves and it was a great time!Charvet F.

55So fun! The dogs really loved the toys and the wading area. I was worried about their feet because it was 104 when we went, but there was so much shade it wasn’t an issue at all. Great amenities, lots of seating, even a little grass potty patch. Excellent spot!Carrie M.

55Stopped by this spot on the way to LA with soba. This spot is beautiful! The yard itself is very green with trees and many birds singing. The host even told me that sometimes there are wild turkeys in the area (although I don’t think they are ever in the sniff spot itself). From some spots in the yard you can see the surrounding foothills which are breathtakingly gorgeous. The yard is much bigger than it looks since it wraps around the house. There is plenty of room for fetch made even better since there is a hill on one side of the yard. The grass was longer than usual since it had been so wet, this was great for soba for sniff and explore. The host also left out an amazing box of goodies for soba to enjoy, including a frisbee and some other chew toys. There were also two bowls of water. Very fun!David A.

55This was my first time using SniffSpot. The hosts were very friendly and kind. Our dog got some great excercise! He is dog reactive so its just what he needs. The backyard is large and has some uneven ground. We watched out for foxtail -- didn't see any.Sarah L.

FAQ about our Modesto 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.
