55Leslie’s place was the most amazing first Sniffspot. We are definitely coming back, as Barnabas had such a fun time! Seeing him roaming free brought tears to my eyes. He is a reactive dog, and I can’t remember last time he was off-leash due to city living. He/We enjoyed the big, well-maintained backyard and swimming in the beautiful pool. The toy chest full of tennis balls was a nice surprise. The place is so great, with water provided, snacks, toys, etc. we can’t wait to come back! Susanne J.

55It was our first time using SniffSpot and it was a great experience! From the moment we arrived everything was great and exceeded our expectations. Leslie’s clear instructions on how to enter and details explaining everything, made us feel comfortable. My dogs loved all the space they had to run and chase each other around. The best part was the pool! My big dog hasn’t gone into a pool since he was a puppy and it was my smaller dogs first time. Leslie had everything we needed including life vests for the dogs which really came in handy. The space is so clean and Leslie is so welcoming and kind. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your space!Sydney R.

This spot is wonderful! Having 2 dogs who love to swim, and usually driving more than an hour to find pool time, we are beyond thrilled to have found this place so close to home. The pool and grounds are beautiful and clean, and everything was exactly as described. The cooler of iced-cold water and dog bowls were so appreciated in this heat, but there is also shade to take a break from the sun. Everything you could possibly need is provided. And since this was our first time using SniffSpot, we had a lot of questions ahead of time, but Leslie graciously answered all of them and was so quick to respond. I cannot say enough good things about this spot. This was such a great find, and we cannot wait to go back! Gina A.

I recommend her spot for anyone that wants to see their pup have a great time! Here is a picture of her after the pool and cooling off in the Yiki Bar!!Nancy M.

55Leslie’s yard was beyond our expectations. Our 3 dogs had an absolute blast running around the yard. The pool was a great addition and very much enjoyed on this hot day. Leslie had water and dog bowls and treats with a personalized message waiting for us. We definitely will be back. One thing for future first time visitors. There is a dog in the neighboring yard. There is a very tall privacy fence so you they cant see each other but if your dog is reactive to other barks maybe daytime working hours are good options that the dog maybe inside.
We had a blast thanks Leslie! Nina N.

55There's a huge space for dogs to run and have fun! There's not only a doggie hydration station but also a whole crate of toys, which our pups enjoyed tremendously. We also opted for a pool pass, and we're so glad we did! The water is clean, just the right temperature, and so enjoyable on a hot summer day. We appreciated the doggie swim vests available for use. All in all, it was a magnificent experience, which we will repeat over and over this summer! A fabulous host!ivana s.

FAQ about our Hawthorne 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Hawthorne 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 464 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 99 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.
