Almaden Acres - 1.5 Acre San Jose Fully Fenced Private Dog Park | Sniffspot
55Had an amazing time at Almaden acres this morning! Such a huge piece of property, with lots of different terrains for dogs to explore. Great amenities and such peace of mind to be able to let my four-legged kids run free and know that everything is securely fenced. Will definitely book here again!Judi M.

55This place is the best Sniffspot in the South Bay.
These are the good things about this place:
1. There are clear signs that show the entrance and parking spot.
2. There is a private entrance.
3. A tall fence completely separates the land, with no holes or gaps.
4. The land has a flat area.
5. There are shades.
6. There is a clean-shaded area with a new bench for guardians.
7. There is a water hose and several buckets to fill.
These are the things that make this place challenging for reactive dogs:
1. There are chickens on the other side of the fence in the neighbor’s yard. They are visible.
2. Sometimes, unattended dogs bark a lot in the neighbor’s yard. They are not visible.
3. There is a shelter on top of the hill; sometimes, you can see and hear dogs and people.

55This was my first time going to a sniff spot and it was everything promised! Parking spot was right in front of the gated entrance with a wonderful picnic bench in a wooden overhang for comfortable shade. There was deep shade at the fence line that was perfect to walk in and for my dog to rest in. Property was extremely well maintained. No foxtails at all! The hillside was perfect to tire out my girl and when she got hot there was a wonderful kiddie pool with water and huge bowls of water for her to drink. We had a blast! Thank you so much to Kristie for the perfect spot.

55This was our first time using Sniffspot and the hosts were so kind. It was super clean and the dogs enjoyed all the new smells, the kiddie pool, and the 2 acres to run around. There is a specific parking spot just for Sniffspot, which I totally drove past, but should have seen becasue it's clearly marked. They really make you and your dogs feel welcome and safe.Kim L.

55This service and property is a God send. My one year old Doberman Pinscher and I both have peace of mind. The fence around the property contains working dogs. The vast terrain contains flat ground and hills for a great workout and training. Clean and very well organized. Luger and I are very blessed to have found this place.Melody L.

FAQ about our Ben Lomond dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
How can I find dog fields in Ben Lomond?
There are 10 dog fields in the Ben Lomond area. The most popular dog field is First Fork Forest 🌲. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Ben Lomond area range from $ and $. The least expensive dog field is . The most expensive dog field is . Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
