55Thank you so much for your hospitality!! We had a spectacular visit to the ranch. This was our first Sniff Spot adventure and by far exceeded my expectations. We felt so welcome and at home. We will definitely be regulars and come back for regular visits, both to play and train.
I also want to thank you, Ryan, for being absolutely incredible with Stanley. You obviously have experience greeting new dogs. Stanley was recently rescued and he can get on high alert and overly anxious in new situations. You gave him the ability to have a calm and polite start to his adventure. It’s really so important for his development and reintegration to the world. Thank you.
❤️❤️❤️🐶
I definitely recommend taking a visit to the Circle G Ranch!!!

55Visited for the first time and it was a great experience. The land is great and open especially for a dog that loves to run around. There are a good amount of dog toys and activities to keep them entertained and very easy to access the property. Looking forward to coming back more!Chris A.

55Ryan’s place is always well kept. He really thinks outside the box to make every doggy feel safe. He is very communicative and understands the needs of our dogs and us humans. Ryan’s place is our favorite so we don’t mind driving there. Erik G.

55My new rescue Molly spent an incredible hour burning off her energy at Circle G Ranch this weekend. She loved the expansive room to run and explore. There is a large selection of toys and balls and items for the pups to play or chase after. Agility equipment and slides too! Humans can sit back and relax if they choose to do so, under an umbrella on comfy chairs, where there is also a table laden with well thought out items to peruse. Additional sitting areas are scattered throughout the property. The area is so large that the neighbors on adjacent property are quite far away. Ryan is a gracious host and goes out of his way to insure both pups and people feel right at home. We will be back, hopefully as regulars! Kim U.

55Ryan and his private dog park was exactly what my babies needed. They are dog reactive, and unfortunately we are living in an apartment temporarily, so they haven’t been able to get all their energy out for quite sometime. Ryan’s dog park is massive, and I’m pretty sure my dogs ran over 5 miles in laps alone within one hour! The yard is completely secure with fencing all the way around and it is MASSIVE! Ryan also provides toys, water bowls, doggy bags and more. We will definitely be returning with our pups! Abby S.

55This place always delivers! And today I even brought my sister and her puppies along. It was perfect! I always recommend this place to everyone who owns a reactive puppy. It's clean, flat, large, and so many places to sit and relax. Just enjoy the sounds of the birds and know that your puppies are safe in an enclosed space.Brigette B.

55We had an amazing time at The Circle G Ranch! We felt completely safe and confident to let our four dogs run and play freely! As the owners of a german shepherd who is not very social among other dogs, we really appreciated the opportunity to let her play off leash in a big open space! The Circle G Ranch provided water, bags and toys for the perfect experience. Thank you so much for hosting our dog family, we will definitely be back soon! Fernanda V.

55Such a wonderful space! It is nice and open, which was great for my dogs to zoom around. I have two huskies and there was more than enough space for them to get their energy out. One of my dogs prefers to run wild and enjoyed playing with some of the toys and agility equipment. My other dog is more of a sniffer and wandered around the space taking in all of the scents. The space is extremely well kept and offers many areas to sit if you’d like. Ryan was so kind and helpful during our visit. The small touches, such as books to read while your dogs play and sanitizing wipes, took this space over the top! It also doesn’t hurt that Ryan is a big Padres fan and knows his team well! I recommend this space to all! As a note, there are chickens, but they were t close enough to tempt either of my dogs. I was able to sort of hear them, but overall it was not a concern. Tarn A.

55Great sniffspot - my dog had a blast! Ryan was super welcoming and clearly invested in making sure pups and their humans have a good time. He has thought of everything! Love that there is a good amount of flat space for my dog to chase balls and plenty of shade. Will be back!Laura C.

FAQ about our Descanso 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 Descanso?
There are 35 dog fields in the Descanso area. The most popular dog field is Buddy Private Dog Park In Julian. 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.
