55Fantastic place as always! This is my dog’s favorite sniffspot and since the last time we visited, there were a lot of new additions to it. My dog loved the ample space to get her zoomies in while chasing tennis balls whereas us humans loved the shade and comfy chairs. Even our foster dog thoroughly enjoyed such a large yard. He now has a positive association with tennis balls and trampolines. We will be back!Camille D.

55Such a great spot! Beautiful views, seating strategically placed in shade, and a big hill for a dog to run up and down. I also loved the notes with instructions (thanks for saving the world from poop bag plastic with a shovel!) and alllll the tennis balls. Breanna P.

55Our dogs had the best time! We really appreciated having the kiddie pool for our thick coated, black dog so he could cool down and keep playing! rebecca k.

55Wonderful space! My dog enjoyed the toys, watching lizards, and chasing the ball. The cacti on the left of the photos don’t have spikes FYI! No cheat grass found either. Dogs can be heard from across the canyon as stated. Thanks for an awesome visit! Lindsey N.

55This is the best sniff spot!! There is a ton of running space, variety of toys, and a few nicely shaded areas. We brought the dog we were sitting but would love to be back with our own pup. We could hear another dog barking nearby but I didn’t see where it was, so be aware if your dog is reactive to that.ellie p.

55We haven’t been here in a couple months mostly due to timing/ schedules but also because as much as my dog loves fetch, he is obsessive with it and usually all he wants to do in this great Sniffspot is chase the ball for an hour. We’ve been working with a reactivity trainer and have learned that fetch sort of feeds into his obsessiveness and intensity which in his case can make his reactivity worse. So we have been doing flirt pole, foraging and enrichment only type of activities with him in recent months. So when I saw that they added a ball pen here that can help simulate foraging I was excited to give it a try! There are several new enrichment activities and I really appreciate how Cindy tries to think outside the box and offer so many different and fun activities and add on’s (even a raised dog wash!). We really appreciate this and as always she’s a great communicator

55This was a cool spot! The main yard being down the hill definitely gave us great privacy as I’m a trainer and hosted two classes here. There was fresh water, bed, a canopy rest area and lots of fun objects for the dogs to explore like a slide, playground and in ground trampoline. I recommend early morning or late afternoon as there isn’t multiple shade spots for sunny days if you have multiple dogs. Great spot! Stephanie S.
