55Excellent communication and arrival details, lovely grounds to walk and sniff! There’s a wonderful welcome area with a much appreciated out house for humans :-) There’s lovely chaise lounges in the shade, overlooking an amazing view. We hope to be back, and look forward to seeing how the flora and fauna changes through the seasons. Patricia T.

55Lovely spot for my two rescues. I was a bit worried at first for my blind dog, but I kept an eye on her and they had a great time. Both were passed out on the ride home. Very quiet, saw some birds.
Follow the instructions and you won’t have any issues (fantastic and detailed). We left a bit early with the bugs after us! One lovely bee seemed to want to go home with us after hanging out on my car for so long! Thanks for making your space available. I’ll continue to take my rescues and fosters here!Lillian T.

55This is my first time trying Sniffspot and I feel like I’ve hit the jackpot already! I have been wanting off leash time with my dog Xenon for a while now and this had it all, trails chairs, tables for relaxing and perfect ambiance! The directions were clear and the whole area was well taken care of. So thrilled to have found this spot! Melody R.

55Good directions, clear layout upon arrival greatly appreciated. We walked all over, my dog had a good sniff and then enjoyed chasing her ball. Flawless first experience with SniffSpot and this location. We will be back, having purchased a membership!Cynthia F.

55First time visiting and we loved it! A little tricky to find (for me) but I was able to turn around down the road and then found the gate quickly after that. Lots of hills. Bring good shoes. I let my dogs off leash once we got to the flat patio part and they did great with recall. I kept the harnesses on just incase though since it was our first time. There was water running through the hill which the dogs loved 🥰. We had fun. Highly recommend this spot and the host is a great communicator. Aveleigh O.

55Beautiful peaceful and quiet - loved the little stream running down the mountain and the many places to sit and enjoy the view. Even saw some quail running across the hill! Wonderful spot, thank you so much for sharing it with other doggies :) Lindsey H.

55I was unable to enter the property, there is no cel service so I was not able to get in touch with the host. BUT: I am giving a five star rating because as soon as my host realized the problem she refunded my money. Since I had to drive away to contact the host I decided to leave but I am going to return another time. Kate B.

55Very nice open space for the dogs. A bit hard to get to because the gate code has to be entered quite a few times before it opens and there is no cell service. But other than that it is perfect. Mint A.

55Great, open spot, tucked away in the canyon in a beautiful setting. Kept our dogs on a long lead, but might try off leash next time. They had fun exploring, and the amenities for humans were nice on a hot day!Trish D.

55If you don't mind (or, better yet, enjoy)dust and dirt road driving, followed by hiking the same, then this is the spot!
Its amazingly beautiful, and depending on what you choose to do it can be physically challenging.
If you're not sure that you can control your dog off leash, then this is not a place to test it. There's so much for a dog to explore, but if you're capable of handling a long leash, then the 20 ft leash available to borrow will let your dog have all the fun while still being relatively safe. I had mine on 100 ft leash, but could have been fine with 50 ft.
Amenities are very well kept up with.
Make sure your car can handle steep slopes and serpentine roads. Liza P.

FAQ about our Thousand Oaks 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. 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Thousand Oaks?
There are 129 small dog parks in the Thousand Oaks area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
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 doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. 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.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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 small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties 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. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
