The Ranch - 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Gilroy | Sniffspot
55Great sniff spot! The host is quick to respond, friendly, helpful and I was able to book a last minute visit. It’s a beautiful property about 10 minutes off 101 in Gilroy. Easy to get to with clear and simple instructions from the host. The dog area was clean and safe. There are animals visible from the area. They piqued my guy’s interest but were not close enough to be a total distraction. There was water available and a few balls, ropes and of course plenty of sticks to play with; however, it was the interesting and new smells of a ranch that kept my guy busy and happy. We enjoyed our outing and will surely visit again when we are in the area. Tamara C.

55I enjoyed talking with the host Vince. Site was perfect for our girl. There are 2 fenced areas one mostly dirt and the other is grassy. She had a great time sniffing all over. There were chickens and ducks running around the property but not in the areas we used. There was a chicken coop in the neighboring property which Nirvana found interesting. There are a few toys, and water. We will be back soon.Chris V.

55Our 2nd time here and my pup, Charli absolutely loves romping around, playing ball, and visiting with the neighbors chickens. There is so much room to explore and the hour went by so quickly. Signage for parking and entrance to the fully gated property are visible and make it very easy once you arrive. The host, Kristie is responsive, kind and welcomed us back which means a lot. This is definitely going to be a regular Sniffspot for us!Tracy H.

55Very large area for dogs to run around and play with short grass covering the entire area. It rained a good amount while we were there, but some of the trees on the property provided good cover from the rain. Definitely would recommend this spot for dogs that love to run/play fetchRyan M.

55Third time there! Love it so much that I am joining the Sniffpass today so I can go regularly. Highly recommend this place. Perfect for my reactive dog to have a safe place to romp. Rarely see neighbors on the other side of fence which is a godsend for us. Jeanine S.

55This Sniffspot was amazing! It was clean & there were no dogs nearby so my dog & his friend could run around freely without worrying about other dogs. The space is huge so our dogs were able to explore off leash & they were super happy by the end of the visit. Priscilla R.

55Absolutely lived up to all the reviews. Instructions were perfect, including a designated area for parking. The field was massive with shade, sunlight and a ton of space for dogs to run. It’s heaven for dogs. Will absolutely return. Steven N.

55We had great second trip here, our dogs loved exploring the area it was a good size for the explore but still be able to have visuals on them.This was our second time visiting this spot, the first time wasn’t ideal the area was coved in maybe cow pies and holes that made me nervous of our dogs getting caught while they ran. We took a chance and tried it again and the experience was SO much better! The area was clean and the holes were filled in, there was also large water buckets for the dogs which they absolutely loved so happy we decided to give it a second chance our dogs had a blast!

55The place was very inviting, water and clean up supplies were easy access. The field had a nice hill where even my wife and I was able to get in a nice walk, walking the field and not having to have a leash on Bodie. We all three left happy and excised.Lonnie P.

FAQ about our Gilroy dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Gilroy area range from $15.0 and $15.0. The least expensive dog field is Stagnaro Stables Puppy Romper Room ;). The most expensive dog field is Stagnaro Stables Puppy Romper Room ;). Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
