55This spot was perfect for our dog who loves to explore! Lots of rocks for her to climb on and plants to learn about. The terrain was really diverse too which was fun for everyone. It was hot out but there was lots of shady spots and a nice picnic area set up in the shade. We will definitely be coming back! Jess N.

55Very responsive host and easy to find spot. The neighbors were on their court playing pickle ball with their Golden tied up. Caused a bit of a pickle for a few minutes when we first got there but then Molly figured out there were lizards and she had an absolutely amazing time trying to find them. An hour is not long enough in this yard! Definitely come early in the morning or later in the day as it feels like it can get quite warm.Krystle F.

55Great as always. There is a very sweet golden retriever at the bottom of the hill property, he is an adolescent and it sounds like from the owners geting freaked out by all the new dogs coming and going, so maybe call your dogs away from the bottom fence when the owners are out so they don't have to have words.

55What an adventure! So first and foremost this is a horse property. My pupper is a bit reactive and has never been around horses so when I got there I wasn't sure how it would go. She didn't see them right away as they were in corrals to the side of the property, once spotted she approached, the sniffed each other, she barked a little and then let them be! What a relief! Just be aware if your pup is aggressive they would have access to the horses. The horses were highly socialized with dogs and people. Adib was an excellent host, he had great communication anticipating our needs starting with directions. Wear boots as it was muddy in places. She had an absolute blast and the property was the ultimate "Sniff" Spot. Because of the horses she had to smell everything! We got a lot of training in around recall, and it was actually really great having some safe distractions. Thanks Adib, we'll be back!Aislyn W.

55This was a very well rounded and stimulating spot for our dog Stella. There was lots of places for her to observe and explore. She had a blast running around, jumping around, sniffing and finding pinecones and sticks. There are horses within their sniff spot but they are very well socialized to dogs and people. My husband and I really enjoyed the opportunity to meet the horses ourselves. This was Stella’s first interaction with horses. She was pretty nervous at first did bark at them but it was a great opportunity to socialize Stella to horse with lots of treats. While the horses were very calm, we kept Stella on a long lead as a training precaution since she would have access to them. It was a great opportunity to combine play, redirection, and training.
The hosts were very hospitable. They welcomed us to use their large tent with a beautiful space to rest in between playtimes. The hosts were very kind and checked in with us to ensure we were comfortable and Stella was comfortable with the horses. Towards the end of our stay some family came to say hello to the horses but we were able comfortable enjoy the large tent at the other end of the space.
I would 100% recommend this space for friendly dogs. However the spot may be too stimulating for reactive dogs. Neda N.

55Host is very helpful my dogs were very excited to run and explore the property . Host has horses on property in a coral my younger dog was afraid at first but she was fine after 10 min. It was a good experience for her so next time she meets a horse she won’t be nervous. I wish the fence was higher in certain parts of the yard. Jessica K.

55Amazing and huge! Definitely go toward the end of the day bc it’s pretty hot in this area, but there are a few trees at the top that offer shade. Overall my boy LOVED all the space! They have a little fountain at the entrance that was sprinkling him with water lol. I saw some foxtails, red ants, and gopher holes, but I think that’s totally natural in a plot of land that big!Danae A.

55This spot was exactly what I’ve been looking for! I have a reactive dog, so finding a trigger-free spot for him near our home has been difficult. This space was large and peaceful. Although there were some people visible in the area, there weren’t any other animals in earshot. My dog loved running up and down the hill. There was plenty of shade in the morning and benches to sit on at the bottom and top of the hill. We will absolutely be returning!Summer O.

55Everyone loved their time at the Artsy Dog Place. It was wonderful. Lots of seating in the shade, water & toys. It was hot 🥵 today, so we stuck mostly to the shaded areas, but my boxer was able to retrieve his ball. And, my old lady lab loves exploring & sniffing everything. Thank you, Monica. We would love to come again in the near future. Georgia H.

FAQ about our Escondido 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.
