55Easy access from Santa Rosa which we really appreciated. Super friendly hosts, with clear and concise entry instructions. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed the plethora and variety of balls for chewing and chasing. Always a good sign when he conks out before our time is up :)Arika A.

55This spot was awesome! Super easy to find and park. The space was just as described and my pups loved it! There were many balls and a ball thrower that one of my dogs greatly appreciated. The space was super wide opened, great for my other dog that can run all day long and we even got to say hi to one of the horses near by. This is a great spot and will definitely be back!Luana A.

55A perfect spot to allow your dog to roam and chase balls. Fenced in and clean. Nice place for rest and shade under the pergola. My dog had so much fun and we will definitely be going back!Vicky G.

55Yet another great visit at this property. Clean and well trimmed grass so my dog was able to run freely and I was able to see where she dropped the some balls as we played. Vicky G.

55My two Anatolian Shepherds love to visit this huge expanse of flat pasture land. After analyzing the smells left by other visitors, chasing each other from one end to the other, and communing with "Joe" (the senior horse in an adjacent pasture) they are worn out for the rest of the day. Bret M.

55Wonderful location and setting! This was the first time for my 30 pound McNab Shepherd, who usually just sits in the corner in a new area because of unfamiliarity. But as soon as she got inside the fenced in area, and off leash, she happily ran around and explored the entire ranch.Michael O.

55This was our first time to any Sniffspot & it was a great experience! The owner greeted us when we arrived (since it was our first time), gave us a short overview & off we went. We have a reactive dog (to other dogs) so this spot was ideal for him. As they stated, you could hear chickens & a dog barking in a far distance but not enough for my dog to have big feelings about them. There is a horse in the next field at the far corner of the property but not to worry - he's a calm guy & doesn't move quickly. It was good practice for my dog to observe the horse without barking & disengaged when he was ready to do so. The property is mowed with lots and lots of room sniffing, running, sprinting, fetching. My dog had a good mental & physical exercise.cathy w.

55Our first time visiting and the dogs had a great time. Our small dog has lots if energy and this was a great place for Finn to get it out, running hard in large open space.
Very easy to find and access. There is a great gazebo with plastic chairs and small table that provides shade for the doggies. Also fresh water for the dogs. The fence was secure and allowed us to let the dogs run free. We will return for sure!Jennifer H.

FAQ about our Pope Valley 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Pope Valley 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 79 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 15 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.
