55The property is huge and full of things for dogs to sniff and investigate— stumps, trees, a tire wall, and even big lichen covered boulders. Eucalyptus trees on the far side of the area provide shade for exploring dogs.
There are some foxtails here and there but overall I was very impressed with how well-mown the huge sloped property is.
Most of the yard is very sloped but there are a few flat areas for a very good game of tug or fetch. I would watch out for gopher holes on the slope that connects the two halves of the property and keep games of fetch to the grassy area closest to the driveway.
There is a nice shaded area for the humans, complete water bottles, snacks, and even spray sunscreen.
Overall I think there’s something here for every dog. Places to play with your dog or places for your dog to run around and explore on their own. Great if you want to jog around with your dog and great if you just want to chill in the shade.
A perfect place for my big, energetic, dog-reactive shepherd who needs lots of space to exercise and explore. We had a great time and will be back. K t.

55This spot was great!
When you arrive there is a small sniffspot parking sign , we drove all the way down to the gate & messaged we arrived & then let ourselves in at our booking time.
The space itself is a huge, fenced in area. Our dog Bella ran , jumped and sniffed all over. There was lots of areas to run around & the sounds of ground squirrels / neighboring chickens kept Bella running/sniffing around. There were lots of random toys around to play with & we brought our own just to have.
There was a seating area in shade with snacks/water/sunscreen/tissues. There is a hose & dog water bowl right next to this area. Overall 10/10 Lauren M.

55Very large securely fenced in area. A neighbor has goats and a pony that are visible, but the fence is very secure between the property’s. Our dog didn’t really even notice. It was actually a great place to do some training with distractions. The property is on a slope, but it made chasing balls more excited. The host provided an umbrella for shade, seats and even snacks!Emily U.

55My dad took my boys out for the first time at a sniffspot location and they had a blast! He FaceTimed me and they looked so happy. The yard was soooo big and they left snack and water 🤎 definitely will be coming back and so happy we all had a great experience. The honest is very nice and accommodating! I was so worried because one of my dogs is very reactive so it’s nice to know I can find a place for him to explore and get his energy out. nandi g.

55Huge property to run and explore. My dog even got to exchange nose sniffs with a calm, small horse in an adjacent property.
The host provides snacks/water and a shaded area for hot humans and dogs to rest under, which was a really great touch.
Note, the driveway to the parking spot is pretty steep, so if you’re not comfortable with driving that, this might be something for you to consider.
My dog loved this Sniffspot. Would come to this spot all the time if I lived closer! Suhan X.

55What an amazing addition to the sniff spot family! I took my two dogs and my neighbor’s dog to this running heaven. They had such a great time and was exhausted by the end of it. They had snacks and water available for visitors. Next time, I’ll bring a picnic blanket and enjoy the atmosphere more as my dogs happily frolic the property.
Some things to consider (which personally does not impact my 5 star rating): 1. There are foxtails in this spot. My dogs are not huge sniffers and their physical features typically are not an issue for foxtails besides their toes. If your dog has issues with foxtails, I highly recommend buying the head cover from outfox field. 2. You do see some/hear some livestocks and dogs from other people’s properties. Along the furthest side fence with leafy bushes, your dog may hear/see the neighbors dog through the fence. There is another dog that is visible within 20ft from the neighbor’s fence close to the parking entrance that you may need to be mindful of. We didn’t see it when we arrived, but saw the dog as we left. This is why it’s important to walk in the property with the dogs leashed. It stays in the front from what I can tell and we don’t see it when we are in the sniff spot.
Overall, amazing experience. I will bring more activities for my dogs and I next time we reserve a spot. Anna N.

55If I could give six stars, I would!! I'd also love to gatekeep Masoun's place, but it's too good not to share.
Space: TONS of it - great long stretches in two main directions for the longest fetch runs we've seen yet. There's flatter spots and more hilly areas for variety, lots of shade from the eucalyptus trees next door (smells great too), and even a patio area for humans.
It feels like you're in a private nature park, but with secure fencing all the way around.
There's one small patch of prickly cottony plants by the gate facing the neighbors with horses/eucalyptus - try to keep your balls out of that zone. We lost one in the fluff!
Amenities: I didn't explore much but there's a lovely basket of snacks, water, sunscreen, and tissues provided in the guest patio area. Bring your own toys, though there are a few balls around the space.
Cleanliness: Great, didn't see any other dog poop and the trash can to dump your dogs business is clearly marked and bright green. Marisa G.

55One of our very favorite locations! The plot is huge, with plenty of room to run and roam and sniff. Grass had recently been cut back, so while there are still foxtails, it is a relatively clear area. Clear instructions, designated parking right by the entrance, a nice seating area and even snacks, with water and sunscreen. Got to meet the host who was lovely and accommodating. Absolutely love this spot, we will be back!K G.

55Nice open area for the pup... Very nice interaction with the owners and they provided snacks and water! That's awesome. The area has quite a slope but you quickly figure out how to make your dog do the hill work, they don't care - if you have a reactive dog(me) there is a neighbor dog on the other side of the fence, where you pull into the driveway ... the fence has a screen up so we didn't see the dog but it barked when my guy jumped out... Which got a tiny reaction from him, but the prospect of getting to run around and play a long game of fetch off leash meant he was going to listen to me, getting back in the car was easy because my boy was really tired and couldn't be bothered to be reactive- ... if you know your dog won't recover quickly from hearing or seeing another dog you might want to think of a plan to get them into the gated area and guard against a fence encounter. After we were inside the gate we didn't hear from that dog again- so they must not have access to go back that far. We also saw goats but my guy had minimal interest, leave it seemed to do the trick. That's all, great little spot, my dog Mike came home and slept the rest of the day... Thanks for offering up your space!!Melodie M.

55A cute place! Loved that there was much for my dogs to sniff. The host and I met for a brief moment but she was attentive and kind!
I will agree with some previous reviewers that:
- the staircase down is a bit dangerous so make sure your ankles are in good shape!
- there are foxtails around so make sure to check your dogs. I pulled some out of mine.
- wish there was a bit more grass but it was fine.
May book another stay when there’s more foliage and less foxtails.Elisa H.

55What a great oasis for my nervous reactive pup. A lot of space and a gorgeous garden, many things to sniff and enough space to play a tiring game of fetch. There are a good amount of steps, and longer haired dogs will get a certain amount of debris to clean out of their fur. You could hear a dog and chickens nearby but just enough distance that my dog was curious but not over threshold which is perfect for training/desensitizing. all in all my dog and I can’t wait to be back!Roxy T.

FAQ about our Lathrop 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Lathrop 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 121 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 14 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.
