2 people per dog are allowed with no extra charge. After 2 people, each additional person is $10. However, a total of 4 people per visit (no matter how many dogs) are allowed with no extra charge. After 4 people, each additional person is $10 per hour.

As you explore the creek, if you walk down the creek and see a bend, turn around. There is a private residence around that bend. If conditions are safe and you use the fire pit, keep a close eye on it, and keep the flames below waist level. Importantly, use the bucket (next to the fire) to douse the fire with creek water to fully extinguish the fire before you leave. The spot is on private property. The land on the opposite side of the creek is Open Space preserve, and not included in the spot. Although sniffspot allows 2 hour cancellation, please give 24 hours notice if you need to cancel a weekend or holiday spot. Those days often book solid from morning til night, and if you cancel only 2 hours beforehand, it doesn't give enough time for others to take your time slot because they have already seen that our spot was fully booked that day. We will have to block people who do this more than once.
| Dogs must be leashed when entering and exiting the spot. | |

My ranch is a peaceful sanctuary away from the busy downtown or high-traffic regional parks. I have a large 2 acre pasture enclosed by horse fence that has picnic tables under large oak trees. Lots of room to run, dig, and chase sticks. They can also play in the kiddy pool. Other areas can be explored as well, but are not enclosed. A dog wash station is available to wash muddy paws.

2/3 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Agility field
Our Sniffspot is located on a quiet dead end in the back of Montara, CA. It is fully fenced. It contains 2 fields, a lower and upper, both suitable for use. I will have agility courses set up a portion of the time. Please do not move equipment if there is a numbered course set up. You are free to use tunnels and jumps, but please be careful on the contact obstacles if they are set up. Please watch your dogs and do not allow them to mark the obstacles, tunnels, jumps or weave poles. If they do, can you kindly rinse with the watering can. Do not place any human items or treats on the dog walk. Do not rest or lean on the dog walk. It is an expensive piece of equipment, not a table. Note: there are chickens and horses next door at times, please do not allow your dogs to bark or charge the fence at them. Also, do not let your dogs repeatedly run up to the horses if they are near the fence, and potentially scare them. They are not as visible from the lower field. I have an older dog that sometimes barks from inside the house but she is not visible. Thanks for exploring our Sniffspot!
