55Lovely place to take your dog to. My Lady girl had so much fun, thank you for providing water and having some toys out as well. There’s a table and chairs with shade and the tree provided shade for Lady when she needed a break from playing. Ahrcel J.

Great experience overall!
The water felt warm, though I’m not sure if it was heated.
We’ll definitely be returning a couple of times a month. :)Park c.

55My dog absolutely loved it here! 🐶 The yard was impeccably clean with high fence that ensured our pup's privacy from neighbors. The thoughtful addition of toys and fresh water was a lovely surprise. Plus, the host was fantastic—very nice, polite, and flexible with our booking. Highly recommended! Pari T.

55This space has everything you could think of ! Plenty of space, toys, kiddie pools, water everything. My dog is reactive and doesn’t get to run freely in so it was so nice to give him such a nice space to run and feel safe Channing T.

55Our American Mastiff’s enjoyed their morning exploring the 2 acres. The surrounding farm animals, horses, chickens, cows reminded them of Napa where they grew up. It is a beautiful, amazing, very organized and clean facility. We plan to visit again soon!!Myrla U.

55We love this SniffSpot. You have to book in advance because other dog families have figured it out! Super close to our home, shade trees, you can hear chickens and peacocks, quiet and relaxed, very safe. Our dogs know the minute we get near the road where you turn! They LOVE resting and cooling off in the kiddie pools!Susan R.

55Great fenced area to run out train your dog. T his is a working rescue so you will see other dogs being walked on leash far away. I took advantage and had my dog enjoy watching them rather than reacting. I have a high energy gsp mix. This spot is the first one she got tired out on :). Easy to find signs at gate, also signs for parking area and dedicated Sniffspot fenced area.Jeremy I.

55This place has been a lifesaver for our two pittie mixes who absolutely love swimming. The owner is very considerate and flexible when there's a genuine need, which we really appreciate. The pool is always clean—something my dogs clearly enjoy—and I love that I don’t have to give them a soap wash afterward. The area is securely fenced, so I can let them roam freely and safely. Highly recommend!

FAQ About San Jose 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. 3% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the San Jose 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 211 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 330 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.
