55We had a lovely time here today with our dog. The yard is so relaxing and spacious with comfy seats in the shade and lots of toys for pups! We decided to add on the extra option to use their outdoor dog bath and our pup loved it. We highly recommend this fun spot and will definitely be coming back again! Katie T.

55This is a fun and well kept spot. It is perfect for my doggo who is quite the explorer. Lots of toys and fun activities. But if you have a dog-like mine- that is all about climbing and scouting they will love it. Fencing is all the way around so no worries there.
Please follow the owner's instructions and be mindful you are walking into a canyon space. They put effort in making it safe as long as you adhere to their details.

55Fun get away in the city. The Canine canyon park was easy to find. The stairs are steeper in person but there is a guard rail that made it easy to navigate. There's water, toys, dog treats and there was doggy clean up station on site. Our dogs loved racing up and down the hill! Fernando R.

55Our boys had an absolute blast! Plenty of space to run around, play, and sniff. The hill at Cindyβs property will definitely tire your dogs out. I was concerned that my dogs wouldnβt want to play and just sit around us, but they actually ran around and played with all the different toys available. We canβt wait to be back!! Valery G.

55Lots to explore. Plenty of activities to keep you and your dog entertained. This isn't a long walk kind of place, but if you want to engage in play with your pup... this is the place.Erin B.

55The place is exactly the same as the one on the photo! There are water bowls provided and a water hose to refill the water. My dog only cares about his balls so he didn't really explored the place but overall our time was well spent. Thank you!Karen R.

55Omg this backyard was magical! We brought my 2 year old pitty for her birthday party who is reactive and it was so incredible to see her have her own space to run around with her friends. This place had everything!! Trampoline, balls, sticks, water, shade, a table, plenty of chairs, truly everything and more! We had so much fun and I am eternally grateful to Cindy for letting us borrow her space πππEvelyn H.

55Our pups had so much fun at this Sniffspot! The tea was clean, no foxtails (which is a huge plus and surprisingly hard to come by this time of year) and all set up for us. The pups enjoyed the bubbles, the enrichment puzzle, the toys, and loved the trampoline! We canβt wait to come back! Adrienne Z.

FAQ about our National City dog water parks
Are dog water 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in National City?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs 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. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water 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 dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training 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.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
