55Awesome Sniffspot. I think this one is my favorite so far. No sounds of other dogs distracting us. We were lucky to go after a couple of week's worth of rain, so the property was green and lush, but also freshly mowed, so we were able to run and play in the grass. It is really huge and beautiful. Unlike some of the properties we've been on, the land is mostly flat and level so we were able to utilize the entire space. I liked the driveway parking, and being enclosed by an automatic gate after pulling in. There were tons of shiny new tennis balls everywhere, which my doggo loved! There is also a shady spot under a tree with chairs and a table for dog guardians to relax.Connie S.

55We really enjoyed playing in Vincent’s private dog park! Our puppy was able to run up and down the hill and chase the ball in the flat areas. It’s a great space and fully fenced so we didn’t have to worry about anything! We will definitely be back! Fernanda V.

55This was an amazing yard. LOTS of room to run around and play Frisbee. They had water out for my dog, & lots of toys around to play with. Parking is on their property, so we didn't have to drive around trying to find a spot. karen b.

55This was our first visit to a Sniffspot and it was so much fun! The location is huge and well fenced in. Our Pyrenees loved walking the perimeter. It was nice having so many toys provided and two large containers of water. I also really appreciate how transparent the posting is about foxtails- my dogs have long, double coats so it took some time pulling the foxtails off after we got home, but the space was well worth it. I’m excited to come back! Megan F.

55I am not lying when I tell you this is THE SPOT!!, Astro had a blast! From Sniffing to running to playing catch and run up and down the hill, we definitely left home with a tired Pup !
We called them 5 min before arriving to the spot, they answered fast, and gave instructions on how to enter and where to park. Looking forward to our next visit! Montserrat P.

55Wonderful as always. Clean, plenty of toys for the dogs, sometimes water can be empty so I do recommend bring a bottle or 2 just in case. Other than that, friendly and well kept. I love coming here with my dog Krissy W.

55Vincent’s place is very nice. Lots of space, fresh water and toys for the boys! Parking was a bit confusing so I parked on the next street but later found out I could park in the driveway
Overall a great experience for my dogs! Will return Carol D.

FAQ about our National City dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
