55This is our new “go to” place. I have a 14.5 year old dog who is still recovering from cancer surgery. Taylor Pond is safe for her and she gets some rehab exploring and swimming. The owner is extremely nice and the place is beautiful!Judy F.

55This is a really pleasant sniffspot with nice shady places to sit, beautiful water birds, fish in the lake, and even water lilies! My dog went swimming and had a blast! This is a perfect place to go on a hot day to help your dog cool off.Victoria K.

55We had such a great time at Taylor's Pond! Not only did our dogs enjoy themselves but we did too. We enjoyed the quiet, nature and just watching our doggies have a wonderful time. Thanks so much!Nicole S.

55Taylor’s Pond is awesome!! My dog had a blast swimming in the pond. The trail goes all the way around the pond which allows you to get your daily steps in too! Parking was super easy and it was very clean. Taylor’s pond is definitely an awesome spot and we will absolutely be back. Megan H.

55I can't remember the last time I saw my dog this happy! He had a great time exploring around the pond and stepping in the water to cool off. The hose and water bowl by the parking area was appreciated! Kim W.

55Such a wonderful spot! It was great to have a place so big yet still fully fenced in for my dog and his friends to run around freely. Will definitely be coming back!! Lillian L.

55This place is amazing! There are loads of places to sniff, several different textures of walking path (gravel, dirt, grass, rocks), and not to mention the pond.
This was our first time actually going off leash and I was concerned for a few reasons; however, I felt so much better once I got there and noticed that I could see the entire place (and in theory, her) wherever I stood. There are a few outbuildings, so she did manage to sneak away, but always waited for me to appear.
David came out to talk for a few minutes and he was very friendly and welcoming. I loved the set up near the parking that had dog treats, toys, and water.
Overall, this is definitely a top spot for both of us and I know we’ll be back again and again. Stacee E.

55Taylor Pond's close proximity, ambience, wide trail to run on, and friendly owner is the best thing to happen to my rescue Aussie. The new fun thing today was a candy dispenser machine that had tasty dog treats in it. Great idea for those who forgot treats or want to try something new! Somebody left a couple quarters on top for us to use (thank you to whomever did that)! We then paid it forward and left a couple quarters for the next guest. Kim U.

55This place is great, we drove 2+ hours to get there and it was totally worth it! Our 3 pups had an adventure ...swimming, sniffing, checking out the ducks, fetching all the sticks. There were some people around working on things, not a problem at all, everyone was friendly towards us and the dogs.. even when our super nosey dog wandered in one of the building soaking wet.
Over all the place was peaceful, full of good surprises, and clean for a natural somewhat wild setting. We will be back for sure.Clay C.

55This was the perfect spot for my reactive dog! She had blast having the whole place to herself, able to sniff and swim stress free. The property and pond were very clean and well kept. The owner was very kind and made sure we were able to find the location and had everything we needed including water bowls, a dog washing station, dog shampoo and towels. Will definitely be bringing my girls back here. Ansley E.

55This was my first Sniffspot experience and we had a great time. The property was clearly marked as was the Sniffspot entrance and parking area. After closing the gate I unleashed my dog and we took a lap around the pond to check everything out. Everything was secure and I had the place to myself- I didn’t see any one around and there were no cars driving through. I did see a few people walking on the trail behind the property. There were some dogs barking on an adjacent property but they weren’t visible and didn’t bother my dog. She spent the whole time in the pond, chasing ducks or her tennis ball off the dock. She did get quite dirty so I hosed her off before getting back in the car and gave her a bath at home. It was very peaceful and the pond is beautiful- I didn’t have an issue with bugs but I was there in the morning. We will definitely be back- my dog did not want to leave and could have spent hours playing in the water. Megan G.

55My Aussie Molly always has a blast at Taylor Pond! She gets her Ya-Ya's out on a wide dirt trail that circles the pond, chases the waterfowl, and gets a kick out of all the other activity on the property. I think at this point she believes that Taylor Pond is her very own special hangout and the owners are part of her pack! Kim U.

55My friend and I brought our three dogs and they were in heaven. Two ran in and out of the water and one spent the entire time swimming after the ducks in the pond. We met a few people on the property and everyone was incredibly nice. We are definitely going backClaudia L.

FAQ about our Highland dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Highland area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is Small Yard in West Seattle. The most expensive dog field is Small Yard in West Seattle. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
