I’m the proud owner of two Labrador Retrievers, but they are kept indoors and out of sight during all bookings. They do not have access to the yard while guests are present, ensuring the space remains completely private and distraction-free for trainers and their dogs.

You will never see anyone during your booking. The yard is surrounded by six-foot white vinyl fencing, providing full visual privacy. The property sits on a large lot with a 100-foot setback from the street, so it is well removed from sidewalks and public areas. The residents are not home during bookings and will not come outside, ensuring complete privacy and a quiet, uninterrupted experience for trainers and their dogs.

Private entry

Yes (Always)

Arrival and private entry are contactless and straightforward. After booking you will receive gate access instructions and any temporary keypad code needed for your session. Park directly in the private space in front of the outer gate and, if needed, back your vehicle up beside the garage for quick unloading. Enter through the exterior gate, close and secure it, then open the secondary inner gate to access the yard. Keep the inner gate closed while dogs are transferring and during the session to maintain two layers of containment. When you leave, close and secure both gates and remove any personal items. If you are arriving in multiple vehicles or need extra parking, notify me in advance so I can confirm arrangement. Ring floodlight and security cameras monitor the entry and yard for safety. Host contact information and emergency procedures are provided after a trainer is verified and a booking is confirmed.

Los Altos Hills, California

Description

Trainers Only – 4+ Dogs Required This yard is reserved exclusively for professional dog trainers hosting group play sessions, structured training, or supervised socialization. Located at 13970 La Paloma Rd in Los Altos Hills, right at the corner of La Paloma Rd and W Fremont Rd, this private yard is fully enclosed with six-foot white vinyl fencing and designed specifically for multi-dog sessions. The property sits between Foothill College and Downtown Los Altos, just minutes from I-280 and El Monte Road, with easy access from Mountain View, Palo Alto, and Cupertino. I’ve been hosting professional dog trainers on Sniffspot for almost two years and am reopening the yard in December 2025 after a full renovation. The space is quiet, secure, and easy to access, making it ideal for recurring sessions or structured group play. ⸻ Now Accepting New Trainer Clients After taking time off to renovate and upgrade the property, the yard will officially reopen for professional use in December 2025. The entire space has been improved from the ground up with new mulch and landscaping fabric, brand-new six-foot white vinyl fencing, and an industrial-grade dog bath for added convenience. I’m now welcoming new long-term trainers and dog industry professionals who are looking for a secure, private, and well-maintained location for group play sessions or training activities. This is a great opportunity to be among the first to use the updated yard and establish a recurring schedule. Discounted weekly and monthly rates are available, and regular clients can reserve exclusive time blocks for consistent access. ⸻ Pricing • Listed rate: $75 per hour (set higher to discourage casual users) • Trainer rate: $40–$50 per hour once approved • Discounts: available for multi-day or recurring bookings When messaging, please include your typical group size, focus of your sessions, and preferred schedule. ⸻ Booking Requirements • Minimum of four dogs per session • Trainers only (no individual pet owners) ⸻ About the Space The yard is large, clean, and completely private. It’s enclosed with six-foot white vinyl fencing installed in 2025 and has a double-gate entry for safe, controlled access. You’ll have private parking right in front of the gate, and trainers can back up beside the garage for easy loading and unloading. The space is equipped with Ring floodlight and security cameras for visibility and peace of mind, and the property sits well off the street for total privacy. Amenities include: • Large bin of dog toys (please return after use) • Complimentary dog treats (avoid if allergies) • Auto-fill water bowls, hoses, and stainless steel bowls • Ample seating for handlers and assistants • Poop bags and disposal area • Inflatable and standard pools, towels available on request ⸻ Dog Bathing Station (Add-On Amenity) An industrial-grade dog bath will be available for trainers who want to rinse or bathe dogs after play sessions. It’s large enough to fit big breeds comfortably and has strong water pressure for quick cleaning. Use of the bath is available for an additional fee per session. Towels can be provided for a small extra charge, though guests are encouraged to bring their own. ⸻ Surface and Safety The entire yard has been professionally mulched and resurfaced in 2025 with landscaping fabric installed underneath to prevent any weed growth. There are no weeds, no foxtails, and no hazards anywhere on the property. The surface is clean, level, and soft underfoot, providing a safe and comfortable play area for all dogs. ⸻ Privacy and Security You won’t see anyone during your booking. The property sits more than 100 feet back from the road and is surrounded by tall white vinyl fencing that fully blocks outside visibility. The residents are not home during bookings and will not come outside, so you can enjoy total peace, quiet, and privacy during every session. ⸻ Access Access to the property is private and simple. After your booking is confirmed, you’ll receive detailed gate instructions and a temporary keypad code. Drive up the private driveway, park in front of the gate or beside the garage, and enter through the outer gate. Close it securely before opening the inner gate to the yard. Ring cameras monitor the entry for safety, but no one will interrupt your session. When finished, close and latch both gates, remove your items, and leave the yard tidy. ⸻ Dog Details I’m the proud owner of two Labrador Retrievers, but they are always kept indoors and out of sight during all bookings. The yard is used exclusively by guests during their reserved sessions. ⸻ Dog Birthday Parties and Events Dog birthday parties and small group events are welcome. Please message me for a custom quote. Party bookings typically start at an additional $200, which covers event planning, decorations, setup, parking coordination, and post-event cleaning. Guests may use the indoor restroom upon request. ⸻ Additional Rules • This space is for professional dog trainers only. • A minimum of four dogs is required per session. • Keep both gates closed at all times and supervise all dogs. • No digging, smoking, or glass containers on the property. • Please clean up all waste before leaving. • Keep noise to a reasonable level. • Do not adjust or cover the security cameras. • Close and latch both gates before departure.

Cleanliness

86% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

There are no hazards in the yard. The entire space has been professionally mulched and resurfaced in 2025, covering all previous areas where weeds once grew. Landscaping fabric has been installed underneath the mulch to fully prevent regrowth, so no weeds or foxtails are present anywhere on the property. All older reviews that mentioned weeds are outdated and no longer relevant. The surface is now clean, even, and safe for dogs to run and play freely.

Extras

Dog Birthday Parties & Events200 credits

This is a private, undeveloped, forested spot. If you are interested in this spot, you and your dog should be up for a mini adventure. This spot is not a manicured, backyard park. It is wild and beautiful, and a rare find in this area. THERE IS NO TRASH SERVICE AT THIS FOREST LOCATION. PACK EVERYTHING OUT WITH YOU, INCLUDING DOG POOP BAGGIES. The trail starts at the west (downhill) end of the parking spot, and winds downhill to the creek (there are a couple of switchbacks). The trail from the parking area to the creek is less than 5 minutes long. At the bottom of the trail, is a deck. Beyond the deck is a year-round creek with a swimming hole. There are fish, frogs, newts, and crawdads. All wildlife is protected, so please don't catch or remove them. You may walk up and down along the creek exploring, as long as you turn around before the bend that is downstream. The trail that leads downhill to the creek is intermediate, not for beginners or flip-flops. There should be no poison oak or ticks on the trail, but if you venture off the trail, you may encounter poison oak or ticks. There are blackberry bushes to the sides of the trail that resemble poison oak. There should be no foxtails. You may see wild animals. As a wild spot, you may encounter typical hazards that are present in most local forest trails, such as wildlife, water, and trip-and-fall hazards. This is a private spot, and there should be no other people or dogs during your booking. If you see someone during your booking, please let us know as soon as possible, so that we can take steps to prevent them from trespassing again. There is no lighting at this spot, so if you book before sunrise or after sunset, please bring a headlamp or flashlight. Maximum 2 people per dog. There is no trash collection service at this location, so please pack out any trash. Thank you!

Dog Heaven 3 Acre Fully Fenced Private Property

2 people max per reservation. Additional guests can be added by purchasing the “Extra Guest Add-On” for each person. For directions, please take screenshots of the “photos for access” in case you lose reception in the area and in case people take off our Sniffspot logo signs. Plan to arrive 15 min before your scheduled visit to make sure you have time to find the spot, park, walk etc. We are home with our dogs so please don’t get too close to the big house to avoid our dogs from wanting to come out and play. Small house and basketball court ok to be around. Magical place for dogs and owners. The property is beautiful and interesting to explore and relax with benches throughout. Bring your own pic-nic and enjoy it in the secret garden. Or shoot some hoops in the basketball court. It’s an experience for both dog and owner. Come enjoy 3+ acres of fully fenced area! A true hidden gem with entrance from the awesome San Vincent public hike trail with access to free parking. UNEVEN TERRAIN: Entrance can be steep and there are hills in the property and uneven terrain. Terrain takes a couple of days after rain to fully dry out so wear good shoes and always watch your step. We have three dogs who will be kept indoors and out of sight during your visit. Getting into the property is an adventure of its own, just follow the signs. 2-5 min walk from parking lot. Once you are here you can explore freely and take it all in :) IMPORTANT: Public parking at entrance of trail and entrance to property is via hike trail. Every now and then you might encounter a person walking a dog there or riding a horse. Please come prepared! We do not provide bags or trash cans (so please try to take your dog’s poop with you, if you can find it) We provide water but you must get it yourself. You can find a bowl at the outdoor sink next to the green house on the west door. The water from the sink is clean well water. Please leave bowl on the same spot. Restrooms are not available. If plum trees have fruit feel free to pick some and enjoy! Fun gopher holes they can put their nose in, but please stop your dog from digging! 😅 Note for reactive dogs: We completely understand how important safety is for reactive dogs, and many guests choose our space for that reason. That said, please note that the trail to get to our property is public and not something we can control. You may run into another dog or horse on the public trail. Additionally, at the corner of the western side, there is heavy fencing and dense bushes that act as an additional barrier, but a neighboring dog might be present and bark. Our space itself is secure, fully fenced, and a safe environment. All just for you. No other animals inside the property unless you request a playdate with one of our dogs. Please don’t forget to download the photos and pay attention to the directions to know the proper address to put on your GPS. And remember you might lose reception here so copy those as well. Feel free to ask me any questions before booking :) We look forward to your visit!

Winter Creek Dog Park In San Jose

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

June 22: The parking area to the fully-fenced area have been mowed short. We have tried to eliminate as many foxtails as possible. I am waiting on a tractor service for the hillside - the grass is taller w/ foxtails so recommend avoiding until it is mowed. SUMMER: Recommend AM visits before 10am or evening after 5pm. Our spot is full sun with very limited shade. We are trying to eliminate the foxtails but we have a large property and cannot guarantee we get all of them. **Horses visible in adjacent property occasionally Additionally, guests can enjoy the adjacent hillside which is partially-fenced. You are welcome to enjoy this off-leash or, if you're more comfortable, take a little stroll through the grass. NOTE: There may be foxtails and ticks in this area.

You can find a bowl at the outdoor sink next to the green house on the west door. The water from the sink is clean well water. Please leave bowl on the same spot. Restrooms are not available. If plum trees have fruit feel free to pick some and enjoy! Fun gopher holes they can put their nose in, but please stop your dog from digging! 😅 Note for reactive dogs: We completely understand how important safety is for reactive dogs, and many guests choose our space for that reason. That said, please note that the trail to get to our property is public and not something we can control. You may run into another dog or horse on the public trail. Additionally, at the corner of the western side, there is heavy fencing and dense bushes that act as an additional barrier, but a neighboring dog might be present and bark. Our space itself is secure, fully fenced, and a safe environment. All just for you. No other animals inside the property unless you request a playdate with one of our dogs. Please don’t forget to download the photos and pay attention to the directions to know the proper address to put on your GPS. And remember you might lose reception here so copy those as well. Feel free to ask me any questions before booking :) We look forward to your visit!

Winter Creek Dog Park In San Jose

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

June 22: The parking area to the fully-fenced area have been mowed short. We have tried to eliminate as many foxtails as possible. I am waiting on a tractor service for the hillside - the grass is taller w/ foxtails so recommend avoiding until it is mowed. SUMMER: Recommend AM visits before 10am or evening after 5pm. Our spot is full sun with very limited shade. We are trying to eliminate the foxtails but we have a large property and cannot guarantee we get all of them. **Horses visible in adjacent property occasionally Additionally, guests can enjoy the adjacent hillside which is partially-fenced. You are welcome to enjoy this off-leash or, if you're more comfortable, take a little stroll through the grass. NOTE: There may be foxtails and ticks in this area.

I look forward to welcoming you to one of the best Sniffspots in the area. My backyard offers a comfortable, private space for dogs to play and for you to relax and enjoy your visit. Homes in my neighborhood are close together, and I strive to be respectful of my neighbors. Occasional barking is, of course, normal, but if your dog is likely to bark continuously throughout the visit, this Sniffspot may not be the best fit.
