55What a magical place. We did the stream hike add on. The hosts give very detailed instructions on how to get there. Answered any questions we had. All together it took us about 30 minutes to get to the stream but we are regular hikers. Dogs had a blast! The stream was a great confidence builder for our timid rescue. Such a beautiful place, worth the price. Our pups slept the whole ride home!Katelyn P.

55We had a great time and the hosts were super helpful and accommodating. Make sure you text them before you get past downtown Fallbrook because the signal gets spotty. Google maps and Apple Maps aren’t going to get you there. You need the directions from the hosts 💓Family E.

55My sister and I brought our 4 dogs here. We did the stream hike and our dogs loved it! Even the two who don’t normally like water went in. The host was extremely helpful when we got a bit lost. Be sure to check your Sniffspot messages the morning of your booking for details on how to get there.
We will certainly be back!Rachel P.

55This place is a gem! Went with my Jagdterrier and wasn't expecting to be able to actually let her run off leash in such a big area, but to my surprise I could! We had a wonderful, relaxing time: the hosts' directions were helpful, the trails clearly visible, the place is peaceful, clean and safe. Definitely recommend the creek hike as it is a hidden paradise spot. It can get pretty hot during the day, but the trees offer a nice balance of sun and shade on the trails. My advice is to wear trail/hiking shoes rather than sneakers/running shoes. David and Alma are responsive and welcoming, we will go back!Letizia G.

55What a fairytale SniffSpot! Alma was very helpful in guiding where to drive. The cell service was spotty so be sure to get the directions before arriving. The hike was both easy and moderate only when it got steep. There’s plenty of shade to cool off in. The creek was not far into the hike. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to locate the SniffSpot. The water was crystal clear. Loved the swing, hammock and picnic table. Plenty of chairs to watch pups enjoy the water. My dogs had such a blast! Can’t wait to come back! Donalene F.

55Excellent spot. Directions were perfect and the host was communicative and friendly. The avocado groves had well maintained paths and lots of shade. We spent most of our time at the add-on creek adventure, with the dogs splashing around and me hopping from boulder to boulder. We had a small incident when a neighbor hiked through and said we didn’t belong there. I guess there is a property line dispute, but the host took care of it. We did the avocado picking add-on after our hiking time was up. The host picked us up in an off-road vehicle and drove us around looking for trees with good-sized avocados. She had a long pole picker and let us take about 10 avocados home. Overall wonderful experience. Will definitely be back. Elaine M.

FAQ about our Dana Point 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 Dana Point area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog field is Friendly yard near Lincoln Park. The most expensive dog field is Friendly yard near Lincoln Park. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
