55Our dog absolutely loved his time here! He wasn't too sure about the pool at first but he enjoyed being able to cool off and he seemed to really like running up and down the hill. You can tell the owners put a lot into making it a nice clean and safe space for dogs. We're already excited for our next visit!Danielle H.

55We had such a wonderful time at Canine Canyon! Our pup Presley is leash reactive so we rely on Sniffspots for him to have some fun off leash play time. He had a blast in the pool and loved playing ball! We will definitely be back - everything was clean and ready for use and Cindy was an awesome host! Canβt wait to come back!Karla S.

55This was our second Sniffspot and it was so incredible. Everything is built and created with love and with the wellbeing and joy of dogs in mind. There are multiple shaded spots for humans to hang out and they even have misters that make sitting there so much more comfortable in the heat of SD. That's also where dogs have their water station and can relax. The hill is great for dogs to get their energy out. Our dog doesn't love water but their pool would be just perfect for a hot day. We loved it and will definitely be back. Olivia P.

55Such a fun place! My dog had an amazing time! He played fetch, enjoyed running around and loved playing fetch uphill. Really tired him out. We also used the pool area, which is so cute and has everything your pup needs including life vests! Although, my giant dog preferred the baby pool.ποΏΌ
On our way out I noticed a dog washing station, but we didn't have time. This place has everything you need and things you didn't even think of.! Brianne C.

55What an amazing space!!! They have the most beautiful backyard and have set it up with so much love, intention and sensory stimulation for dogs. It was so amazing to introduce the trampoline to our dog and to just explore and play with the tons of toys available. Great communication, an abundance of play options, stunning yard and view with great spots to sit and relax. Thank you for an amazing experience!!Alexandra O.

55Big space and lots of activities for the pups to keep them busy. It does get pretty dusty though so something to watch out for if your dog has long fur! Dasha K.

55Great spot! My dogs really enjoyed playing here. I like that they have a little sniff spot logo out front so you know youβre at the right place too. One note (and this will only apply to a few)- the slope down from the house is fairly steep. My 2 y/o dog loved running up and down, had an awesome time & it was a nice extra to get the energy out. My older dog with back issues also had a great time, but did almost wipe out coming down, so be cautious with the less agile dogs (he has IVDD so I was worried heβd fall and mess up his back more).
Overall a wonderful spot, and very cute yard with spots to sit etc. I must try the doggie treats next time!!Melanie R.

55This spot is super cute and easy to find. I have a pit mix and a chihuahua mix that both enjoyed the yard, and all 3 of us had fun on the trampoline and slide :) I paid a little extra to have the host fill the ball pit, and it was a good call! Threw some treats in there and watched their little noses go. Thank you!Belkis G.

55I have a reactive dog, so this was absolutely perfect for him and his one friend. They were able to run free and be dogs without the worry of someone coming in. They were so tired after, there so much for the fur babies to do! We will definitely be back! Everything we needed was there, Cindy is a great host! Thank you so much!!Stephanie M.

55So fun! So many things to do and try, lots of smells to be smelt. Atlas loved the pool (it's deeper than it looks so she did surprise herself on her first entrance - but after that it was very exciting). Our hour went by really fast - next time we'll have to book two!Ashley X.

FAQ about our San Diego dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in San Diego?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
