55Stopped by this spot on the way to LA with soba. This spot is beautiful! The yard itself is very green with trees and many birds singing. The host even told me that sometimes there are wild turkeys in the area (although I don’t think they are ever in the sniff spot itself). From some spots in the yard you can see the surrounding foothills which are breathtakingly gorgeous. The yard is much bigger than it looks since it wraps around the house. There is plenty of room for fetch made even better since there is a hill on one side of the yard. The grass was longer than usual since it had been so wet, this was great for soba for sniff and explore. The host also left out an amazing box of goodies for soba to enjoy, including a frisbee and some other chew toys. There were also two bowls of water. Very fun!David A.

55This was my first time using SniffSpot. The hosts were very friendly and kind. Our dog got some great excercise! He is dog reactive so its just what he needs. The backyard is large and has some uneven ground. We watched out for foxtail -- didn't see any.Sarah L.

55The yard was lovely -- great size, easy to access, secure fence, nicely lit after sunset, and perfect for romping. Ollie and Teddy had a great time chasing their ball and sniffing around. Cat W.

55Yard was great! Totally secure and very spacious. Description is accurate that it’s mostly dirt, but my dog didn’t care a bit. Comfy furniture for humans to sit on between rounds of fetch.Cheryl R.

55We have a recently adopted Siberian Husky "Husko" that we are not sure about bringing to a dog park but really want to give him some off-leash time, and Amanda's backyard is perfect! Grass and trees and bushes, lots of places to smell around and run. Amanda is great to talk to and very helpful - awesome experience for us and Husko! We will visit often!Ivy M.

55Amanda's yard is very nice and spacious, especially for San Jose. She was very curteous and always made sure we were comfortable. Our border collie mix had a blast trying to "herd" her kids (who were also courteous and asked permission before stepping outside with our dog). An added bonus, Amanda taught my dog "spin". 10/10, Would recommend.Ruby M.

FAQ about our San Jose fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in San Jose?
There are 108 fully fenced dog parks in the San Jose area. The most popular fully fenced park is . You can browse all of our fully fenced dog parks here.
How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog 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.
