55A pawsitive experience at IB Pawsitive! Marie is so thoughtful with the little details. There were large fresh water bowls, a basket full of doggie stuff, and treats for both me and my pup. There's tons of shades under a big tree in her private backyard, grass, and a peaceful relaxing chill spot for humans too. We felt very welcomed.
It was easy to find and within walking distance from our place! Both my dog Zoë and I loved our visit to our new local SniffSpot and will definitely be back. So happy to finally have one in IB!
Pro tip: if you wanted to take your dog to the beach off the north end of Palm (the allowed leashed dog area), you could tire them out at this SniffSpot beforehand.Jill N.

55Great spot! Yard is really big with a tree right in the middle for shade, right next to Palm Ave restaurants so if you need the restroom or want food after it's right there, and complimentary waters, snacks and toys. The bubbles provided were a great addition to the experience, our 7 month old puppy had a blast chasing them. We will definitely be back, he loved running around in an open space and was pooped afterwards. Alexandra C.

55Absolutely wonderful space! Marie had lots of thoughtful and personal touches for me and my 6 dogs! Multiple bowls of fresh water, snacks and water for humans. A basket full of toys and treats. They yard is a great size for running around and playing fetch. Cute little area for the PERFRCT photo op. Plenty of shade and also a few blocks from the beach, so there's a wonderful ocean breeze. The fence is high and I only heard very minimal voices from people walking on the sidewalk on the west side. Not a big enough deal for my dogs to care at all! Love love love this spot and so do my dogs! You'll be happy with it if you book! Thank you, Marie!Kelly W.

55My husband and I brought our pup by here this evening and she had the greatest time! The area was very clean and there was plenty of room. It was great for her to run around since we have a smaller apartment. Our pup has been napping since we got home because she had so much fun that she wore herself out! It is so worth $15 and we’re definitely going to be regular customers. This is such an awesome concept. Thank you for providing this for us! Tatum B.

55This yard was the best! There was a ton of space for them to run & play freely. I was not expecting dog treats to be available too! Just awesome. Marie was so lovely and accommodating. The only negative was that my dog is afraid of loud engines/motorcycles & there were a ton out today! He barked way more than I thought he would. It was a bummer. We’d have to come back in times of less traffic outside. Thanks so much!Natasha M.

55Our dog absolutely loved coming here! They had toys to play with, water to run in, and shade to lay in! My husband was able to sit in a shaded area while our two dogs spent the hour playing! The host is incredibly nice. We can’t wait to bring them back for more fun! We are in the middle of moving so it’s nice to have a secluded area for our dogs to burn a little bit of energy.

55Our favorite SniffSpot!!! We're regular members and it's ALWAYS a positive experience at IB Pawsitive! There's plenty of parking, a private entrance, large grassy yard, huge tree for shade, relaxing seating area, treats for people and pups, and thoughtful items like sunscreen, bug spray, hand sanitizer, etc. Everything is so clean and neat plus the toy selection is top notch. I usually pack a big bag for adventures, but here we have everything we need. We just love going to Miss Marie's! I know she puts a lot of effort into making it a great experience for doggies and their humans. My doggo, Zoë, leads us directly to her house.Jill N.

55We had a wonderful time! We loved the cozy beach vibe. The yard was big enough for my pup to run endless laps. We threw the ball and used some of the ones the host offered. The treats (for humans and pups), water bowls, hand sanitizer, and chairs are a nice bonus. Heads up, the adjoining fence is chainlink and sometimes you can see the next door neighbor in his backyard lol.b r.

The yard was clean nice patio Comfortable chairs to sit in. And they even offer a bathroom which I did not use but I thought it was a nice touch.Chrissy P.

FAQ about our Imperial Beach 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.
Are dog parks safe?

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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Imperial Beach area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 136 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 14 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
