55This time, I added the creek hike and it was amazing. The area is set up with chairs and a picnic table. The weather was perfect and the dogs and humans both enjoyed splashing in the stream. My almost twelve year old Aussie girl had a ball sniffing everywhere and snorting through the leaves. Oh, and the lemonade is to die for. We can't wait to go back! Tammy B.

55Such a beautiful property for our pup to explore! This was our first time using Sniffspot and it was a great and easy experience. Alma and David were wonderful at communicating and sending detailed directions. They even checked in with us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and had everything we needed. Thanks again and we hope to visit again soon!Emilia P.

55Alma was super quick at responding! She provides detailed directions so don’t follow your GPS all the way! It’s fully enclosed so I felt very comfortable letting my dog off leash. There are some steep inclines so be aware of that. The creek was awesome and the dogs had SO MUCH FUN! I highly recommend bringing your pup here for a visit. Jessica L.

55This spot was a dream! We drove all the way from LA and it was worth the trek. We were late coming in and the hosts graciously gifted us extra time to make up for it. They were also super communicative and gave very clear photo instructions on how to access the property and trails.
We added the stream hike and definitely recommend it. Next time I think I’ll pick some tangerines too.

55This place is heaven on earth! Our dog had such a great time running around off leash, we got to work on recall training and it felt nice knowing we wouldn’t bump into people or other dogs on the trail. And the creek was beautiful. This was our first Sniffspot experience, we had to drive two hours but it was so worth it, the directions given to us by the hosts were also very easy to understand, we had no trouble finding our way there. We will definitely be coming here often. Thank you so much David and Alma!Carmen O.

55Excellent communication! Alma was great in sending information before arrival and checking in on us that everything was going great. The creek was wonderful and our pups jumped right in the water. Great spot to allow hiking and off-leash play without having to worry about other dogs. Definitely plan to visit again in the future and will recommend to friends! :) Carina A.

55I've been to Alma & David's spot multiple times with my reactive dog, but this was the first time I went down to the creek and I LOVED it! It's such a relaxing area, large enough that Kono could explore while I sat in the lounge chair and relaxed, but not so large that I worried about him getting swept away :D We'll be back for the creek hike for sure!Michelle C.

55Milhouse celebrated his 7th birthday here and he had a blast. We usually do a hike for his bday but he’s reactive to dogs and has gotten attacked often (he just has that punchable face). It was nice for me to not have to be on alert knowing we’d have the space to myself. Milhouse lived his best life. First time off leash without concern. Thank y’all.

55This place was Incredible- we were lucky to be able to experience it! We brought our four dogs and to see them be able to run around and sniff everything off leash (while also getting to practice their recall) was so amazing.
And 10/10 recommend adding the stream. Our pups loved it. We will be back and plan to bring a bag lunch with us next time!
One small note- the walk/hike down to the stream is definitely steep! So if you have hiking poles, bring them. We managed fine without them and so did my parents who came with us but they would’ve made our lives easier for sure!Colleen M.

The stream hike is a must if your dog loves water. We ended up spending all our time by the stream while my dog jumped around and explored the water and surrounding area.Carlos V.

FAQ about our Fountain Valley 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.
How can I find dog fields in Fountain Valley?
There are 24 dog fields in the Fountain Valley area. The most popular dog field is Sara's Private Dog Park In Santa Ana. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
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 Fountain Valley area range from $40.0 and $40.0. The least expensive dog field is Sara's Private Dog Park In Santa Ana. The most expensive dog field is Sara's Private Dog Park In Santa Ana. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
