55Always great to visit and my dogs love all the sniffs and scents, treats and toys. Araceli's heart for people and animals is reflected in all the things she provides for us and our dogs.

55We started coming here before our 11 yr old Blanca was diagnosed with an aggressive skin cancer. At home, she now understandably just wants to lay down. I try to walk her, but we don't get passed the driveway before she stops and heads back to our front door.
But I bring her here to Araceli's, and I get to see her run and explore with her tail wagging. We usually book 2 hours, so she plays long, with little rests in between. So special to come here!Dorecca S.

55Araceli greeted us right when we walked in and showed us all the amenities available. We brought our three dogs here and the space was way more than enough for our dogs to run and play around. The pool was too cold for us to use today, but we can’t wait to come back next summer to try it out!Claire C.

55This was our first Sniffspot and I don’t know how we will top it. Araceli has thought of everything! It’s a total doggo and human oasis and if we lived closer we’d be regulars. The dogs are sound asleep snoring next to me as I type, success!Megan Q.

FAQ about our Desert Hot Springs dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are 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 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Desert Hot Springs area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 164 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 13 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
