55great spot! very clean, clear walkways, and private. also a huuuge space given that its oakland, and lots of shade and some places to sit which is perfect for summer. at the very end of our visit as we were leaving, the owner’s dog was on their balcony and was visible and barking momentarily. otherwise no dogs seen or heard during the 2-hour visit and it was not disruptive at all. also chickens could be heard next door but not visible and it was generally a quiet spot.

55What a beautiful oasis! So many places to sniff, different terrains to walk on, logs to do up ups, birds to watch, lots of room to throw a frisbee, wonderful shade spots and nice sunny spots! Just a pure delight to be at. My dog wore herself out in an hour!
Fencing was solid on the upper area. Lower area had solid fencing on 1 side and chain link on the other 2. We did not hear any dogs or people.
Lovely magical place! Thank you for sharing your yard with dogs who need a safe place to explore!Melanie L.

55John and Lilly's home is beautiful, their large garden has a lot of interesting sniff spots for our pups, they had so much fun smelling and racing! They also have a few spots to sit down and chill under the huge trees shade. Very quite place, we could barely hear any noice from the city. Our dogs are dog reactive, we didn't have any problems, no other animals or humans around.

55Very nice yard with lots of space to explore. Note that while the fence is 6+' solid wood in most places, there is a section of 3' chain link.Dave M.

55First of all, I left with total and complete garden envy. The trees, flowers and other plants were heavenly. I love growing my own food and take inspiration from their garden. But, back to the pups.
My boys loved romping under the trees and up and down the hill. You could hear dogs barking in the distance and we arrived to yappy little dogs on a balcony nextdoor. Eventually, the neighbors brought them in and they were far enough away that our dogs paid them no mind. Lots of balls, shade and things to sniff kept them busy. My reactive boy didn't care because he was having so much fun! Phew!! Everything was secure here but the many steps may be a challenge if you prefer flatter surfaces. We brought our dinner and enjoyed a cool summer evening on sturdy chairs and a cafe table. Definitely will return and highly recommend this spot!Cathy T.

55Huge yard, all the amenities like balls, treats, water. Super nice owner who was watering as I arrived. The yard was dry so my scruffy haired terrier got burrs in his fur so I sadly couldn’t stay the whole time. But would come back after the dry season! Connie C.

55My dog had a blast running up and down the gorgeous, spacious yard, chasing the balls John and Lilly provide. We play hide and seek and there were plenty of places for me to hide. Lilly is such a kind and gracious host, and I really enjoyed talking with her. There are chairs in every corner of the yard, for the humans to rest while the pups play. When we were visiting, there was a wet area in the middle with slick mud so watch your step there, and maybe watch your dog too -- mine decided to cool off by laying down and rolling in the muck. Joke's on her though, because I took her straight to the pet wash after her fun Sniffspot romp :PConnie K.

55I have 3 small canine escape artists. Knowing the owner also has a small dog made me more comfortable with the fencing. And my 3 didn’t find any gaps or holes!
The area was lovely, it’s really a 3 dimensional space and my dogs raced up and down the hill. Tons of clover ground covering that they tromped through.
Owner was very nice and friendly. She directed me to fresh water for the dogs she had already set out.
Absolutely going to bring my guys back here. Caity R.

55The garden was such a fun place to explore! Lots of grass, shade, and areas to sniff and run around. The fence is a bit short on one side so if you have a big dog who is a jumper I would be careful. Great for our dogs though. Lilly was so nice and pointed out where the treats, toys, and water were from a safe distance. Thank you so much!Sarah F.

55Lily is so heartwarming & kind! This is my first sniff spot, I was so nervous and after speaking with her she made me feel so welcome & explained where everything is. Property is huge garden and hilly, great exercise & room for the pup to run up and down, lots of plants to sniff and explore! We will be back! Thank you! Irene V.

FAQ about our Brentwood fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Brentwood?

How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog 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.
