55Monroe had so much fun! Fully fenced area, a little muddy on the edges because of the recent rain (and my golden loves to be a dirty dog,) but overall a great experience! We will def be back. Susie was super friendly and met us at the gate and showed us the area and where to park. There are other animals around but the fenced arena is fully fenced and is a good space for doggos to run! Plus beautiful views! Kelly L.

55I recently visited this great dog ranch, and I must say, my pup had an absolute blast! The large space provided plenty of room for my little guy to play and run around to his heart's content. Susie, the owner, is a sweetheart who clearly adores dogs. She warmly welcomed us and gave us a tour of the ranch, her passion for what she does shows.
As we left, my puppy couldn't take his eyes off the ranch, reminiscent of a child saying farwell to Disneyland for the first time. The experience was heartwarming and memorable. I recommend this dog ranch to anyone looking for a loving and spacious environment for their fur baby. Thank you, Susie, for providing such a wonderful place for our fur baby to enjoy!Cassie B.

55What a Gem ! We had a lovely time at Susie's Ranch. The designated sniff spot area is safe and secure with lots of room to play ball etc. A fabulous find for us whilst travelling down the coast in our travel trailer with our reactive girl. Thank you Susie for having us. We for sure will be back. :)

FAQ about our Goleta 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. 100% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Goleta 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 8 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
