55Our pups had a blast. The yard was clean, and the toys and water bowl were nice perks. They had a good amount of fully fenced space to frolic around. Nice and quiet neighborhood, we heard no dogs barking around us. I'd come back and recommend this sniffspot to others!b r.

55Yard was clean and engaging for sniffs, and my boy Mav got to enjoy a lot of fun fetch time. Sometimes it’s hard getting him tired and he was pooped today! I should note that I made my reservation relatively soon before the appointment and there was a fresh water bowl for Mav ready for us. Gabrielle B.

55We had a really nice time in this space! Plenty of space for the dogs to run around, no disturbances, with plenty of toys to choose from. There was even a little sign with our dog’s name on the outside fence which was a nice, welcoming touch. Definitely planning to return to this spot 🙂Marlee K.

55This was our first sniffspot and it was so much fun! The dogs were able to run around and sniff everything without us being worried that they’ll escape. They had so many toys for the dogs to use and had our dog’s names on the sign at the entrance.Donna A.

55A perfect sniffspot! Nice, wide open space and a very communicate host. My dogs had a total blast running around, chasing toys (generously provided by host) and just being dogs. And the fence is completely secure, which I really appreciate! I also loved that a first aid kit was included with the hand sanitizer and instructions—thankfully not needed, but a very thoughtful touch. We’ll be back! Angelica G.

55My dog Winston had a blast here with his new friend Rocco! It was very clean and we especially loved that there was turf for them to run around on. There were plenty of toys and water for the dogs! We didn’t hear or see any other animals during our visit. We will definitely be back! LIsa C.

55Amazing spot for our dogs to play together! Felt completely safe letting them off leash and able to roam the yard at their leisure. The pool was gated off so we weren’t worried about the dogs falling in (one cant swim). Cant wait to come again. Elizabeth S.

FAQ about our El Cajon 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.
