55This is probably my favorite SniffSpot we’ve visited! My dog felt like she was at the zoo with the hen house. The property is huge, so it can be hard to keep an eye on your dog if you have a troublemaker. The property is very clean and well-maintained. I would absolutely visit again! I wouldn’t recommend this property for a dog who is not good with hens. Moorea P.

55Victoria’s pup paradise is just that: a wonder for dogs and humans alike. The area is very expansive with lots of different areas peaking the curiosity of both hoomans and dogs. They offer seasonal fruits for a small additional fee. I’m enjoying my pomegranate as we speak. Thanks Victoria! Amber M.

55Our first time using sniffspot and this spot is very clean and thoughtful. I will definitely come back more often since I have 3 crazy and active dogs. They had so much fun and very curious with the chickens coops. We rented for 2 hours and the first 45 mins my dogs already tired but it doesn’t stop them for having fun. Ruth N.

55This place exceeded my expectations. The space was incredibly clean and well-maintained, which made it a safe and fun environment for my dog to explore. You can really tell the hosts put a lot of thought and effort into making sure every detail is just right, from the setup to the cleanliness. The area was spacious, with plenty of room for my dog to run around and enjoy some off-leash time. There were even a few toys and water available, which was a nice touch. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in a secure, fenced-in space. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend this Sniffspot to anyone looking for a safe and enjoyable place for their dog to play!Coleen S.

55This was the best Sniffspot we have ever been to! Marcos and Crystal really set the space to accommodate dogs. Everything was so well thought out and the area was so clean and organized. They had a cabana with new couches, had cold water, and treats for the dogs.
They also supplied fresh water, a kiddie pool, a hose, and lots of areas to sit. The area itself was beautiful, filled with lots of trees and different plants for the dogs to explore.
The hosts were so nice and understanding. We will definitely book this space again! Thank you so much. Don M.

55Pup Paradise was true to its name! Amazingly clean, tons of open space, secure gating, and great amenities for pups. I was so excited to leave a review because they truly deserve it. I’m not new to Sniffspot, so i’ve had my fair share in experiences and this by far was one of the best! My dog loves fresh grass and they had plenty of it. I always bring my pup her own water and toys, but it was great to see fresh water in a large bowl and toys available. Riley’s first time seeing chickens, and she did amazing. I would keep this in mind if your dog doesn’t do well with farm life. Riley’s still learning to be around other dogs, and we didn’t encounter one at all. Planning my next visit and even thinking of a subscription for this spot. Thank you for a great experience and opening up your space to us. Riley is tired, happy, and grateful for your yard!

55This was a great spot for us!! It’s close to our house, easy to access (signs and great instructions), and the yard was great. I went at 10 am and there was a lot of shade in the area in the back where we played fetch. We will be back for sure!! Kristen A.

55My dog and I will be back at this spot! Aside from the ants(werent a problem), there was so much space for her to run in and lots of smells. The shade from the tree was also a big plus. I would say that the only downside to this is their neighbor. The neighbor has two dogs and was barking the whole hour we were there. (neighbor’s fault so won’t be taking away stars) :)Coleen S.

Frequently asked questions about Imperial dog parks
Are there dog parks in Imperial for reactive dogs?
Yes! Imperial has 14 private dog parks specifically designed for reactive, anxious, or dog-selective pets. Unlike public dog parks where unexpected encounters can trigger your reactive dog, Sniffspot offers completely private bookings. That means only you and your dogs will be there. We enforce 30-minute buffers between visits so you won't run into other park users when arriving or leaving. This makes Imperial Sniffspots perfect for reactive dogs who need safe off-leash exercise.
How many private dog parks are in Imperial?
Imperial has 14 private Sniffspot locations ranging from cozy backyard spaces to expansive properties spanning 7.51+ acres. You'll find fully fenced dog parks, dog water parks, and small dog parks options, each offering complete privacy during your reserved time. Browse listings to compare sizes, amenities, fencing, and reviews from other Imperial dog owners.
Are Imperial dog parks friendly for all dog types?
Absolutely! Imperial Sniffspot locations work for every type of dog: puppies learning socialization, senior dogs needing gentle exercise, small dogs who feel safer away from large breeds, high-energy dogs requiring space to run, and yes, reactive or anxious dogs needing privacy. Because bookings are completely private, you can customize the experience to your dog's specific needs—whether that's careful puppy introductions or stress-free exercise for nervous dogs.
Will there be other dogs at Imperial dog parks?
No, that's what makes Sniffspot different from public dog parks! We only allow one booking at a time, and host dogs must be kept away during your visit. When you book a Imperial dog park, you have the entire space to yourself (plus any dog-owning friends you invite). This privacy is crucial for reactive dogs, puppies in training, or any dog who needs space from other animals.
What makes Imperial dog parks safe for anxious dogs?
Imperial Sniffspot locations provide controlled, predictable environments without the chaos of public dog parks. There are no aggressive dogs, no inattentive owners, and no unexpected encounters that could traumatize anxious or fearful dogs. All guests must have vaccinated dogs (or titers), and hosts maintain clean spaces. 93% of Sniffspot reviews are 5 stars, with many highlighting how safe their reactive or anxious dogs felt.
Can puppies use Imperial dog parks?
Absolutely! Imperial dog parks are ideal for puppy socialization because they provide controlled, distraction-free environments. Puppies can practice recall, build confidence, and explore without the overwhelming chaos of public dog parks. Just ensure your puppy has age-appropriate vaccinations before visiting any Imperial Sniffspot.
Are Imperial dog parks good for small dogs?
Yes! Many Imperial Sniffspot hosts mark their spaces as "small dog friendly," meaning they're appropriately sized for toy breeds and small dogs. Unlike public dog parks where small dogs risk being overwhelmed or injured by larger breeds, Imperial private bookings give your small dog the entire space to themselves. Look for secure fencing with minimal gaps and hosts who understand petite pup needs.
What are the requirements for Imperial dog parks?
All dogs must have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. Each Imperial host may have additional requirements listed on their booking page. Most welcome all breeds, sizes, and temperament levels, including reactive dogs who can't safely visit traditional public dog parks.
