55Wonderful space! My puppy loved running around, exploring, and testing out swimming in the pond (first time swimming). We met Antoni near the end of our visit. He was so welcoming and great with my puppy who kept requesting pets from him. Antoni showed us around and asked for ways to improve the spot - he seems very invested in creating a great spot for dogs to enjoy. I can't wait to visit again and explore more of the property!Eryn V.

55One of our new favorites! This was a beautiful space with so much room to roam around and explore, plus a flat grassy area for playing fetch. Our dog Maisy absolutely loved it and actually didn’t want to leave when it was time to go home! Heads up that since there are pretty big hills, it gets pretty muddy at the base of the hill so just wear shoes that can get wet! Thank you so much Antoni for sharing your wonderful space with us, we will absolutely be back! Michelle C.

55Beautiful property, my dog loved it! Easy to get to/find and get in. Loved the water station and hose especially on a muddier day, thanks! My only precaution would be that there is mostly tall grass so beware of ticks, just be cautious :) Kirsten W.

55The dogs had a wonderful time racing up and down the hills. They definitely came home tired (and muddy!). Found a few ticks on them, but that’s totally expected for this time of year. I’m sure we will be back! Aryn H.

55Ideally located for Petalumans. Very large and scenic. I’ll have to return after my new-to-me rescue dog has more training with a better recall. He loved running about, but we were premature in bringing him to such a nice spot before he would come back to us when it was time to leave. We’ll be return after we’re able to get him to leave! Dog heaven.Cynthia T.

55My dogs had an excellent time. Lots of areas to run and explore. A flat area for throwing ball and hilly areas for roaming and sniffing. Glad I brought study shoes and hiking poles. Sandra D.

55This was by far the most fun sniffspot our dogs have gone to. Definitely worth the 50 minute drive to see our dogs run around freely, exploring to their hearts content. It's also peaceful for the humans, being away from cities and towns and enjoying the quiet landscape. I think what makes this spot stand out is the variety of landscape (not just one big lot). Thanks, Antoni. We have no complaints and will be back in the future.Betty K.

55Antoni’s sniff spot is a complete gem! Plenty of space for zoomies and wandering - definitely worth it. Our dog loved going in and out of the little pond and basking in the sun on the big hillside. We did see a few mushrooms in the shadier areas, which is expected given the heavy rains lately and was not a problem during our time there. We can’t wait to come back!Kasey S.

55Great spot for dogs to run and sniff around! A couple hills to run up and really tire the dogs out and a flat surface for our older dog to run. Garbages, toys, balls and water bowls located around the property. Quiet peaceful place surrounded by hills and trees Krista D.

55Great property in a rural, secure setting. It was easy to find with Google Maps, and the host instructions were very clear. The fencing appeared very secure at all points I saw. It was a cool, foggy morning, so the abundant grass was wet, and with the blessedly rainy winter so far, being in a hilly area there was still some water moving through the property. I was fine with waterproof hiking shoes, and the dogs got a bit muddy in one place, but nothing bad. Most of the property is quite grassy, which the dogs loved. The valley views are lovely. It is hilly, but the footing was good and the grades not bad. We explored most of the property, and each dog got to have fun choosing their activity - chasing each other, exploring, chasing a ball, obsessively following me lol. There are a few distinct but connected areas which makes for nice variety.David L.

55This place is in a very bucolic setting. We saw cows, horses and even deer on the lovely green hillsides. There was plenty to see and do and my dog loved the pond, the tall grass and running up the hillside. We were lucky the rain stopped to give us a beautiful sunny day, but I recommend everyone wear waterproof shoes that work for water and mud. There is a very wet, muddy section you have to cross to get to the larger pasture. Other than that small inconvenience that probably isn’t an issue in drier weather, this place is PERFECT! Thank you for sharing your beautiful space with us! 💛Beth M.

FAQ about our Petaluma 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.

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 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.
