55Great hosts! They had a lovely backyard for the dogs to run around and play in. They provided us with water, a ball and sticks for the dogs to play with. 10/10 would recommend! Gabbie G.

55Heather's backyard was a spacious and beautiful Sniffspot! There were tons of interesting things to smell and lots of space to run around. We were also given toys, water, and treats while we were there. We heard occasional barks from neighbor dogs. The entrance is through the house, and Heather was present intermittently during our visit. This was fine with us because our dog met her and felt comfortable; if your dog is fearful of strangers, you may want to ask to be let in the side gate and request more privacy.Karli R.

55What a great spot! Our dogs loved it, they had a blast running around and 'investigating' everything. The views were lovely, and there were places for us to sit and relax. We can't wait to go back!Kristen R.

55The directions say keep gong until you reach a sign that reads “Private Property”- they aren’t kidding! Once there, all was well. The area is be and quiet. My dog loved it. After a while, he was venturing into the safe. Having him in a safe natural setting was my wish! Thank you! Jessica V.

55Was easy to find, and property is easy to navigate once you get the lay of the land. I arrived early, so I waited at the bottom of the driveway so as to not disrupt someone else's appointment/experience.
For owners of dogs who are very sensitive/high arousal/reactive, there are chickens in a coop in the shade next to the house, but they are pretty inconspicuous. It's a calm and quiet environment. I was leaving just as someone arrived on the property and there was a dog indoors that barked once, for anyone who needs to manage their sound sensitive dogs. They were not visible.
I am so thrilled I was able to give my sweet, shy dog this private experience on a beautiful and tranquil ranch. It was a wonderful reprieve to be able to let him roam and explore off leash without having to constantly anticipate other folks and their dogs. Thank you Jen for opening up your beautiful haven to other people to enjoy. It was amazing to watch my dog blossom and be so carefree and happy. Steph L.

55First time doing this and visiting. Absolutely loved this spot! Our dogs enjoyed running around and exploring off leash which they can't normally do! This location was very clean and the directions were great. This is our new favorite spot. So peaceful too. Eleni S.

55This is a beautiful place with an even better view. The driveway is steep as she clearly states, my volt almost didn't make it but mustered up enough power to get up. Follow the directions, and you'll have no problem and a very nice time. There is a nice welcome table set up, with unexpected extras for you and your dog.
Once we got to the off leash area, it was like my dog knew he was okay to relax and be free. My old, reactive dog got to experience off-leash freedom for the first time! For that I am so grateful. He mostly sniffed and meandered, and was ready to leave before our time was up. But he made the best out if it in his own way and that's what it's all about.
I will definitely be back with my dogs!Alison K.

55Awesome spot! The detailed directions made it easy to locate, and all the thought out extras around the spot were great. We made the mistake of coming in the afternoon on a warm day, so the ground was a little too toasty for our pups' paws. We will definitely be back on a cooler day though! Ashley M.

55Great location, plenty of space for my dog to run around and sniff safely. So grateful for the owners to share their property with us. Hope to be back again soon ! We did a 1.5 hour time slot which gave us plenty of time to explore and sit/relax. Directions were exactly as described and easy to follow.Katie M.

FAQ about our Oxnard 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.
