55Had a great time at Taylor Pond this morning! I booked for an hour and a half and actually left a little early cause my dogs were pooped out already! My pitsky Tilly swam in water for the first time and it was so awesome to see her loving the water... she was trying to get to the ducks to no avail. My boxer Lennox barely got his toes wet and my lab/pit Samba enjoyed running through the pond. Thank you David for coming to say hello and offering your amazing place... we will be back again soon!Do C.

55Very pretty spot. Our dogs loved how much room they had to run and they played in the water too. Our new pup did not want to get in the car when it was time to leave. Jessica K.

55This was our third time here and it seems to get better every time. Mandy loves this spot and I appreciate all of the room and the balls hidden around the area. Thank you! Stacee E.

55Really great time! My 14 year old got to go for a swim for the first time in years and all 3 of my pups loved exploring the space! My youngest dog who has some significant reactivity did great! I kept him on a 30 ft leash and knew that I would have to stay engaged with him during our visit, but with those expectations he had a wonderful time, and so did i!Lindsey L.

55Molly and I thoroughly enjoyed Taylor Pond at sunset, lots of ducks to chase today. We also enjoyed watching Keithan and his Dad catch some fish! An electric gate opener has been installed and will be very helpful; thanks Dan! Kim U.

55Had another fun visit to Taylor Pond! We ran into 3 different groups of people during the 1.5 hour visit, some with small children, so had to share the pond area and moved around the pond as the other groups moved so as to respect their space. The space is large enough that it didnt affect our visit very much and my dog had a great time zooming and sniffing and splashing in the pond. It is very important that your dog is friendly to strangers or have a good recall just in case there are other guests at the pond too.Annie D.

55We visit Taylor’s pond several times a week and always have the greatest time with our pup. This is a fantastic location and we are so grateful for Dave’s hospitality. Deanna P.

55This is a slice of heaven for everyone. From the ducks to the trail to the docks to the hammocks to the mud to the hose! 100 stars! I’ll be a regular now and would even pitch a tent and live there if I could. Our two dogs have never, ever had so much fun. Pure joy. Lou H.

55So much space for the dogs to run free! Beautiful location and completely fenced. Clean water bowls for use and extra doggy bags. There is a bathroom on site too. The dogs loved watching the ducks in the pond and chased dragonflies. Krista H.

55Absolutely perfect! Totally gorgeous! We had the best time here. We drove from Carlsbad and was worried it would be too hot for our dogs, and us, but the grounds were cool and one dog cooled down in the water and the other one we soaked with the hose. So grateful for the hose right by the parking spot and nice towels waiting for us. That was such a nice touch. This was the main event for our Sunday! We're already planning to have our dogs birthday there next year! Elizabeth Z.

55Wow, this place is such a treat for dogs in San Diego - where else would they have access to a private pond?? My dogs loved roaming the property and checking out all the sights and smells. I've never seen them so thrilled with a Sniff Spot before :)
The owners were present, and we enjoyed a nice chat and one of my dogs loved getting some extra pets from them. We'll definitely be back!Jessica W.

FAQ about our Alpine dog hiking trails
Are dog hiking trails 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 a city or county park. With a Sniffspot off-leash area 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. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.
