Palmhill is a working organic farm. One may observe an employee come and go from time to time but it would be just occasionally and for the briefest length of time. There is never an occasion when an employee would ever interact with a guest or their dog/s.

There is a self-serve chainlink gate in the northeast corner of the Sniffspot Field right off Mactan Road. I suggest backing up to and through the gate, park, make sure to close the gate, and then simply release the hounds! This way, you'll be within the 3 acre enclosed, fully-fenced Sniffspot venue where you'll have exclusive use of the space for the period of time that you're booked. There, you'll find fresh filtered water for your canine kiddos, an abundance of toys, Chuckit balls and launchers, and guest supplies. Please make yourself at home and have fun! 🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾♥️

Description

The Sniffspot venue is a 3 acre fully fenced area that you and your dog will have unsupervised, exclusive use of for the time that you have booked. There, you will find fresh filtered (RO) water for your canine companions, an abundance of toys, Chuckit balls and launchers, including guest supplies and other listed amenities. The entire farm is 36 fenced acres. For anyone interested, I will gladly provide supervised walks around the entire property for additional psychological enrichment at no additional cost. Note: Palmhill is a working organic farm. There may be an occasional worker sighting, but absolutely no reason for any employee to ever interact with a guest or their dogs. My interests lie in offering an affordable, stress-free, large, safe, clean, offleash venue for guests and their canine companions. Thanks to an awesome group of guests who have been with us since first opening the venue, this has been a very rewarding experience. However, there have been, a few guests who have not been doing a very good job of cleaning up after their own dogs which makes it very unpleasant for the guests who come in to the venue next. I have many visitors who pick up dog droppings of other people's dogs and don't say a word, and also return toys and balls to the recepticles, but they shouldn't have to! I actually had a guest say to me once, "Oh, I thought you had people to do that!" No, everyone is responsible for cleaning up after themselves before they leave the field. That's how we keep the venue tidy and affordable! I don't think that's an unreasonable expectation. I've had to post a list of reminders at the venue, (thank you, Michele) which I feel terrible about because they're not relevant for the MAJOROTY of Palmhill's guests. It's just a handful of mostly newer guests who aren't being very team friendly. I've met some awesome people and even more so awesome dogs, but sorry to say, if you don't play fair, you will be asked not to come back to this venue. Everyone is welcome including, large groups, highly reactive dogs, special needs dogs- dogs with anxiety, physical handicaps, previous dog park trauma dogs, etc. We love them all and will do our best to make everyone feel welcome! Thanks so much for your support! 🐾❤️🐾

Cleanliness

Hazards

HOST NOTE

There is always the possibility of a venomous snake during rattlesnake season! Be Observant during those months that rattlers may be out and about! My own dogs have all had the Rattlesnake vaccine and boosters just in case, as well as avoidance training. Rattlers are part of the Southern California landscape, period. Although I've never seen one on this property, we do occasionally see Gopher snakes or (my favorite) the majestic King snake! It would be foolish to pretend like Rattlers couldn't be here, somewhere. It's best to be vigilant, particularly if you see your dog fixated on something "in the grass." Be safe, have fun!

Additional rules

Sorry, but in an effort to avoid any last minute surprises, I'm going to ask for at least a 12 hour window before making any changes to your scheduled visits once booked. Please don't allow your dog to dig holes in the Sniffspot venue as it creates a hazard for other dogs that may be running in the space. Sorry to say, but many guests are not doing a very thorough job of picking up their dogs' droppings! In order to keep a clean venue for all to enjoy, I ask that everyone do their best to clean up after their dog\dogs. Also, please return all toys and balls to their assigned recepticles before leaving the field. Thank you! Enjoy!

The Artsy Dog Place 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Southwest Escondido

Fully Fenced
1 acre

Picture this: You and your pup, nestled in the shade of magnificent oak and pepper trees, perched atop a gentle hill. As you both catch your breath, you’ll be captivated by the view that stretches out before you in this unique one-acre fenced open space in Southwest Escondido. It’s the perfect blend of tranquility and countryside feel, all within easy reach of Rancho Bernardo, Lake Hodges, 4S Ranch, Peñasquitos, and San Marcos, just 5 minutes from I-15. At The Artsy Dog Place, you can take the leash off and let your puppy enjoy the freedom of exploring while you tap into your own artistic talents. Art supplies are available at no extra cost, allowing you to unleash your creativity while your dog scampers up and down the hill. Leave your mark on our community shed—a message, a signature, or a whimsical drawing—or paint a rock to add to our growing collection! It’s a place where dreams take shape, fostering a sense of togetherness and inspiration. Thoughtfully designed with your pet’s safety in mind, the park is securely fenced, with two sides at 6 feet and the other two at 4 and 5 feet, ensuring your dog can play freely and safely. As you enjoy the serene surroundings, you might hear chickens, roosters, and goats in the distance or catch glimpses of squirrels and hawks. Nature truly thrives here! When you arrive, simply park horizontally next to the fence and enter through the black metal door, which will be open for your convenience. Doggy bags are always available, and we kindly ask that you please clean up after your dog to help keep the park beautiful for everyone. A Note on Safety and Park Care: Please be aware that ground squirrels also call our property home, so there may be some holes. We recommend wearing appropriate footwear (no heels) for your safety. To help us keep the ground safe and beautiful for all our guests, we also ask that you prevent your dog from digging, as this can create tripping hazards. We know some pups just love to dig! If your dog does make a hole, we kindly ask that you use the provided shovel to fill it in and return the area to its original condition before you leave. Rainy Day Amenities: On rainy days, our rinsing station is available to help clean up muddy paws before heading home. We also ask that you please leave any dirty tennis balls in the blue tub with soapy water, located on the other side of the fence, to keep them fresh for the next guest. Two beautiful horses have moved in next door! While they are not always visible, you might hear a friendly “hee” every now and then. To ensure a harmonious environment for everyone, we kindly request that you maintain a distance of at least 5 feet from our neighbor’s fence at the top of the property. Our neighbor values their privacy, and respecting this boundary helps us keep The Artsy Dog Place open for all to enjoy. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Come and experience the magic of The Artsy Dog Place, where art and dog lovers meet. We can’t wait to welcome you! Tag us on Instagram @artsydogplace and share your story!
