55Great hosts! They had a lovely backyard for the dogs to run around and play in. They provided us with water, a ball and sticks for the dogs to play with. 10/10 would recommend! Gabbie G.

55Heather's backyard was a spacious and beautiful Sniffspot! There were tons of interesting things to smell and lots of space to run around. We were also given toys, water, and treats while we were there. We heard occasional barks from neighbor dogs. The entrance is through the house, and Heather was present intermittently during our visit. This was fine with us because our dog met her and felt comfortable; if your dog is fearful of strangers, you may want to ask to be let in the side gate and request more privacy.Karli R.

55Spanky had a lovely time at this new SniffSpot! He was tired from the day before so he didn’t want to run around or chase his ball, but there were lots of good plant sniffs and definitely room for zoomies 😁
Our host, Sonia, was great at communicating immediately about any questions I had.
The next door neighbor has a big dog who barked aggressively at the fence but since Spanky couldn’t see him, he didn’t react. A super reactive dog might have a different response.
A lovely little spot!Debra R.

55This place is so peaceful and beautiful, the dogs loved sniffing all the sniffs and exploring the grounds. Very good directions on how to get there and where to go once you arrive. It was our first time trying something like this and will definitely be back. Jessica P.

55The directions say keep gong until you reach a sign that reads “Private Property”- they aren’t kidding! Once there, all was well. The area is be and quiet. My dog loved it. After a while, he was venturing into the safe. Having him in a safe natural setting was my wish! Thank you! Jessica V.

55Was easy to find, and property is easy to navigate once you get the lay of the land. I arrived early, so I waited at the bottom of the driveway so as to not disrupt someone else's appointment/experience.
For owners of dogs who are very sensitive/high arousal/reactive, there are chickens in a coop in the shade next to the house, but they are pretty inconspicuous. It's a calm and quiet environment. I was leaving just as someone arrived on the property and there was a dog indoors that barked once, for anyone who needs to manage their sound sensitive dogs. They were not visible.
I am so thrilled I was able to give my sweet, shy dog this private experience on a beautiful and tranquil ranch. It was a wonderful reprieve to be able to let him roam and explore off leash without having to constantly anticipate other folks and their dogs. Thank you Jen for opening up your beautiful haven to other people to enjoy. It was amazing to watch my dog blossom and be so carefree and happy. Steph L.

55First time doing this and visiting. Absolutely loved this spot! Our dogs enjoyed running around and exploring off leash which they can't normally do! This location was very clean and the directions were great. This is our new favorite spot. So peaceful too. Eleni S.

55This is a beautiful place with an even better view. The driveway is steep as she clearly states, my volt almost didn't make it but mustered up enough power to get up. Follow the directions, and you'll have no problem and a very nice time. There is a nice welcome table set up, with unexpected extras for you and your dog.
Once we got to the off leash area, it was like my dog knew he was okay to relax and be free. My old, reactive dog got to experience off-leash freedom for the first time! For that I am so grateful. He mostly sniffed and meandered, and was ready to leave before our time was up. But he made the best out if it in his own way and that's what it's all about.
I will definitely be back with my dogs!Alison K.

55Great off the beaten path spot! My pup (a Husky/German Shepherd mix) thoroughly enjoyed himself. Highly recommend that you drive there in a Jeep or truck as the drive can get a lil bumpy. Also, you should most definitely wear a tennis shoe with good tread as some areas of the property can be a lil steep and you may slide while walking down in som dirt areas. Shelly Y.

55We had a great visit. My pup was very happy being able to sniff and roam as she pleased. For dog mom and dad, the place was beautiful to be in. It was also nice not to have to worry about running into any other dogs. Instructions to get to the property were super helpful. We really appreciated the opportunity to spend time here. Natania C.

FAQ about our Oxnard 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 Oxnard 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 93 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 18 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.
