for humans as well as dogs. Thanks to an attentive host, Nancy. Penny L.

55We LOVE Pepper Road Playpark! Nancy keeps it mowed, which is super appreciated during tick season. It's stocked with toys Bianca looks forward to and has nice human comforts. Water is easy and there are wading pools for hot days. And a covered spot for the rainy days ahead.Miel L.

55Elli my pitbull had a wonderful time! The minute she got out of the car she raced around. Then she fell in love with the big blue ball. Emma my Boston terrier mix isn’t a toy dog but she just explored everything. My big takeaway from this being the first time was realizing we were going to come home and need a bath. Nancy has so many thoughtful touches with toys, different areas, plenty of places to sit in shade or sun. Looking forward to our next visit Thursday.Alice L.

55My wife and I -- and most importantly our pup -- really love this Sniffspot: lots of clean space to roam and play, grass well trimmed, everything properly fenced in with no gaps, lovely surrounding views, nice shaded spot to sit down, plenty of toys and running water for the dog, and the drinks and snacks for a small donation are an especially nice touch during a visit. Will definitely be back again soon!Sunil S.

55This Sniffspot is a beaut! The owner keeps up the huge space. There are snacks for humans & dogs alike. There is shade, plenty of water & a shed for shelter from the rain if needed. My go-to spot

55This was a perfect spot for us! Most Sniff Spots do not work for us because my younger pup is very reactive. I am very grateful for this spot. Thank you!Shawn B.

55This is a great spot! My dogs don't chase balls but there was plenty of space to run and explore. Nancy has tried to think of everything to make your visit fun and comfortable for the people and the dogs. She even has thoughtful little touches like a blanket available for cooler days. My dogs have voted and it looks like we will be back. 👍Jenner Y.

FAQ about our Glen Ellen 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 Glen Ellen?
There are 70 small dog parks in the Glen Ellen 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.
