55My dogs had a great time. They are a bit skittish with new places… so they would not touch the pool but they definitely enjoyed the yard…Zoomies and playing catch. The gated yard was great, no distractions . Thank you for sharing your yard. Inez M.

55Amazing! This was our first time booking with Sniffspot. Our two year old Rottweiler, Vandaal, is leash reactive. She loves to swim, we have gone to Bone Adventures, but it is so nice to have spot like Hala’s closer to where we live. The yard was clean, fresh water in a bowls, dog toys, pooper scooper and bags were available. Clear sign on the gate to let us know where to go. Secure, safe yard, fence looked strong. We will definitely be going back soon. Dave D.

55Hala’s yard was our first time using Sniff-spot. My Husband & I were a little apprehensive at first, also because we have two Rottweilers!! ‘Butter’ (our 100lb female Rottweiler) had an absolute blast playing with all the toys provided by Hala’s yard. She got to play fetch and run her little heart out!! ‘Omega’ (our slightly smaller male) loved exploring the various plants and trees and even got to sun bath in the tall grass. Overall, the entire family loved our experience. We would definitely come back and highly recommend to other pet owners.Sarah k.

FAQ about our Mission Viejo 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 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.

Small dog parks in the Mission Viejo area range from $2.0 and $100.0. The least expensive small dog park is Dominique's Private Dog Park In Paramount.

Can I have an event or party at a small dog park?
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.
