55Pup Paradise was true to its name! Amazingly clean, tons of open space, secure gating, and great amenities for pups. I was so excited to leave a review because they truly deserve it. I’m not new to Sniffspot, so i’ve had my fair share in experiences and this by far was one of the best! My dog loves fresh grass and they had plenty of it. I always bring my pup her own water and toys, but it was great to see fresh water in a large bowl and toys available. Riley’s first time seeing chickens, and she did amazing. I would keep this in mind if your dog doesn’t do well with farm life. Riley’s still learning to be around other dogs, and we didn’t encounter one at all. Planning my next visit and even thinking of a subscription for this spot. Thank you for a great experience and opening up your space to us. Riley is tired, happy, and grateful for your yard!

55This was the best Sniffspot we have ever been to! Marcos and Crystal really set the space to accommodate dogs. Everything was so well thought out and the area was so clean and organized. They had a cabana with new couches, had cold water, and treats for the dogs.
They also supplied fresh water, a kiddie pool, a hose, and lots of areas to sit. The area itself was beautiful, filled with lots of trees and different plants for the dogs to explore.
The hosts were so nice and understanding. We will definitely book this space again! Thank you so much. Don M.

55This place exceeded my expectations. The space was incredibly clean and well-maintained, which made it a safe and fun environment for my dog to explore. You can really tell the hosts put a lot of thought and effort into making sure every detail is just right, from the setup to the cleanliness. The area was spacious, with plenty of room for my dog to run around and enjoy some off-leash time. There were even a few toys and water available, which was a nice touch. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in a secure, fenced-in space. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend this Sniffspot to anyone looking for a safe and enjoyable place for their dog to play!Coleen S.

55Our first time using sniffspot and this spot is very clean and thoughtful. I will definitely come back more often since I have 3 crazy and active dogs. They had so much fun and very curious with the chickens coops. We rented for 2 hours and the first 45 mins my dogs already tired but it doesn’t stop them for having fun. Ruth N.

55This is probably my favorite SniffSpot we’ve visited! My dog felt like she was at the zoo with the hen house. The property is huge, so it can be hard to keep an eye on your dog if you have a troublemaker. The property is very clean and well-maintained. I would absolutely visit again! I wouldn’t recommend this property for a dog who is not good with hens. Moorea P.

FAQ about our El Cajon 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 El Cajon?
There are 85 small dog parks in the El Cajon 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.
