55Great private walk around the pond! This was my first Sniffspot experience and am very pleased with the privacy and access to the spot. My dogs enjoyed a dip in the pond so be prepared to wash your dog if they go in. I believe there’s a hose available to do a quick wash down but I opted to take them for baths. Had a great time and will be back! Thanks to the hostMichelle M.

55This was the perfect place for us to build trust with our puppy being off leash. She did great and it’s all because the fencing made us feel safe she wouldn’t run off but it still felt like we were on a hike. Definitely visiting often! Valerie P.

55We love it here and so does our dog. Lots of shade, easy walking path, beautiful scenery, and thoughtful amenities (trash cans, hose for spraying off, plenty of parking). And what a treat to find a fresh water lake that allows dogs here in So Cal! Judy G.

55This place is hands down my favorite Sniffspot. We come at least once a month. It’s great for the dogs whether it’s for running around or swimming. We love it. Sarina C.

55Renting this spot out for mine and two out of our 4 dogs birthdays. Will definitely be back! The property was a pot of fun for both humans and dogs, plenty of spots to sit, swings, hammocks, and the host let me use one of the paddle boats when I asked. 100% will be back soon 😊 Ash T.

55I visit Taylor pond 1-2 times a week to do water training with my Retriever. The water there is the cleanest in so cal, there’s Tules/bulrushes in one corner and even a couple of docks for dogs to leap off. I’ve never had any major issues with other dogs though there is a boarding facility there.Ray S.

55Great location! Dogs had a great time. Just be aware that Airbnb guests may come & go through the main gate, so make sure your dog either has good recall, or you can grab them quickly (I had a new foster with me for his first outing and I learned a few valuable things 😂).Mackenzie S.

55I loved this place, the only concern was the amount of people in and out. My dog is friendly with everyone, however, can be reactive to unknown dogs. I was on edge all the time wondering if another dog would pop out of nowhere. We did enjoy this place, not as private as I thought it would be. Elizabeth I.

55Easy to find. Fully fenced. Super sweet host. Safe area. Tons of seating around the pond. Road around pond perfect for walk. Towels, water, chairs in shade. Can’t ask for anything more! Best sniffspot I’ve been to! My girls are all sleeping hard after such a fun play date. Jennifer D.

55This is a great water spot for dogs that love to swim. Clear pond, not muddy. The fences are secure and there are ducks and birds. There were a fair number of people in the area with us, so if your dog has poor recall or is reactive to strangers this would not be a good choice. There were two people fishing, people outside the home, a couple outside their camper, and a man kayaking while we were there. Braden B.

55Spot was great for the dogs. Everything that they love - water, nature, trails. There are people coming and going so if your dog has issues with new people or is overly protective it may not be the place. (We had a great time, but I felt bad because one of my dogs was barking at people on the property - that’s a training/temperament thing and not a property issue.) Katie H.

55Will definitely be going back! Here are some of my observations about the spot:
Easy to get to and park, instructions were clear on entering. Great property with a little pathway to walk around the pond and tons of interesting sniffs for my dog. Grateful for the hose provided to rinse my dog off with after his swim, and for the public restrooms, furniture, toys and towels!
The property has a bunch of other stuff going on. Caution to people with reactive dogs: they have a doggie daycare nearby and little trailers for people to camp in on site, so you could be sharing the spot with them or any of the residents that live nearby. My dog isn't reactive, but there was someone that decided to go fishing halfway through our stay which made me feel bad to let my dog keep swimming and disturb the fish. Oh, and my dog managed to snag a floating fish hook and narrowly avoid stepping on the hook itself but I quickly threw it away. It's an unfortunate but normal occurrence around lakes/ponds so just stay vigilant!
Otherwise, great time and my dog LOVED this place!Krista C.

FAQ about our Lakeside 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.
