55This backyard is beautiful and big with lots of space to run! I appreciated that there was water and lots of great balls to throw.
As some other reviewers have mentioned, this spot isn't super ideal for reactive dogs because of the neighbors' dogs. Fortunately, they only barked when we were right next to the fence. My dog is very reactive, and we were expecting it, so we saw it as a good training opportunity. :) But it was hard to draw him away to play instead of running back to the fence. Just something for other folks with reactive dogs to be aware of.Alison K.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience, definitely positive! Large beautiful yard easy to find and access. Some shade and more sunny spots. I brought a blanket to sit in the grass and have a little picnic in the shade , very relaxing to just let my dog be free while we enjoy the out doors together without other dogs to worry about. Would definitely go back! Setareh X.

55Beautiful yard, spacious and lots of tennis balls and plants for the dogs to investigate. There were definitely some neighbor dogs barking audibly if that’s a trigger for your dog. Connie K.

55So so lovely! Great space with lots of shade and sun. The only thing is there are lots of neighbor dogs, which our pup wasn’t a huge fan of. But overall so fun! :) Elise M.

FAQ about our San Pablo 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 San Pablo 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 125 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
