55Since it’s very large, the owner kindly showed me around which was very helpful. Very welcoming. The arena is huge and of course you should always check fencing and exit doors before allowing dog off leash, it should work for most dogs. There’s one gap in the fencing at the far end which could be more secured but maybe not every dog will find it. Horses and goats are in separate fields near the arena. I didn’t visit the large warehouse yet, next time. For my reactive dog, I think it’s going to be a good place to go for a quiet hike (through fields and on a track) where you know you won’t meet unexpected dogs or people. While walking around on leash, You’ll walk by horses, goats, llamas and other animals in their own fields, very nice to see them. Lauren D.

55This was my first experience using a Sniff Spot and my dogs and I were not disappointed. I have two young working line retrievers who appreciate room to run and really stretch out their legs. Being able to do this in a safe, secure environment was awesome! The barnyard residents who watched safely from a distance were adorable. I think we all benefited from the afternoon enrichment. This was a great place to let my dogs run and sniff and practice recalls in a safe location. Jennie K.

55We had a lovely time playing and training today and enjoying the nearby goats, horses, donkeys and the zebra! The arena felt safe and secure and was dry, not muddy at all even with yesterday's rain. Definitely recommend and will definitely go again soon.Debbie E.

55This place is our favorite place in the world! The drive there is beautiful, the location is gorgeous and getting a chance to walk into this magical world of wildlife is really special.
We normally play at the warehouse (another listing, located at the same property) but we decided to try some outdoor fun. Having seen a review noting there might be other pups that live there, we decided to make this an introduction visit. Charlie doesn’t understand how loud her bark is and hasn’t learned how to interact with dogs when she’s on leash.... so we were nervous.
When we arrived, parked and started to walk down to the fenced in sniffspot we DID encounter two collies.
The most behaved collies you’ve ever met! They never came close, they wanted to! But you could tell they’d been trained only to come if invited. It’s the first time Charlie was ever able to keep her cool around an off leash dog! We had no barking! They were very sweet and Charlie must have known. Anyone who is able to control their dog would likely NOT have an issue with their pups quickly walking through. We even stopped to use it as a training opportunity. Maybe she just had a good day- but I would beg anyone who is curious to please try! Once we were at the sniffspot fenced in area it was pure heaven! Samantha S.

55Had a great time at this sniff spot! It's a large area with secure fencing (even for a small dog). The footing is a little bit uneven in places along the perimeter (asphalt chunks, old irrigation pieces, some metal and glass found), so be mindful for you and your dogs. The weeds along the perimeter are getting pretty tall, too.
Between the goats on-site, and the dairy cows across the street, there were tons of great sniffs to be had! Wouldn't hesitate to come back.Lynn L.

55So we had a great time BUT the 2 resident dogs were not properly fenced in and the gate in back of the houses yard was wide open, couldn’t be locked and my wife had to hold it shut so the two border collies couldn’t get out and to my dogs. The pen was great and secure but I kept picking up large 6-8 inch long nails and 6 inch long pointy drip sprinkler stakes all over the field. These could easily have injured a hard playing/running dog. That said, we had a great time and the dogs ran and were happy and exhausted. Joseph B.

55Easy to follow instructions for entering the property, parking and locating the field. Host was outside and was very considerate to ask if my dog was ok with her two dogs being near by in another fenced yard by the parking spot. (No where near the actual field though). My dogs had a fun time sniffing around the grass, playing and fetching and watching the goats. I very much appreciate being able to have a safe fenced are to let them play! Thanks! Aryn H.

55Our puppies had a great time at this beautiful farm! Tons of room to run and play! The puppies also enjoyed looking at all of the farm animals. I recommended that the host provide a trash can for poop bags. My puppy had a poop and I cleaned it up and noticed 3 other poop bags near the entrance of the arena. We took all 4 bags with us to throw them away at home. Amber M.

55Charlie and Marley had a blast! It was so clean and safe at the warehouse, which was so wonderful on such a wet and cold day! While there are no lights, even on this gloomy day it was bright enough about an hour before sunset. The views are beautiful as well, we cannot wait to go back! Bring extra balls we lost ours immediately (as usual!) Samantha S.

FAQ about our Glen Ellen 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.
