My Great Dane and Boxer absolutely love Taylor Pond. Perfect place for my aggressive dog to get exercise he needs to thrive.

We rented for 2 hours and it was just the perfect amount of time. We had all sorts of variety of dogs with us and it was perfect for all of them!! The puppies loved running around and playing in the grass and dirt. The older dogs loved jumping off the dock, and the pond had so many balls and was supplied with other toys at the front. A really cute border collie (I think the homeowners dog) broke into our little dog fiesta and tried to join but a little while later his owner noticed and got him back in. This was no problem for us, however there are also a few people you might see around aswell so this might not be suitable for dogs who have issues with either. The interactions were very limited and caused us no personal issues. Everyone was friendly. It was a great time, so much space, and the dogs were exhausted after. The pricing is also done very fairly for all the amenities there.

Such a fun spot! Our dogs loved this place. There is a lot to explore and our dogs loved swimming in the pond which had some ducks swimming in it. So if your dog isn’t a good swimmer maybe have them in a life vest. The owner was around, and his dog too. But the dog stayed out of the fenced area while we were there. The owner pointed out some poison oak that was on the property.

Don communicated with me throughout the whole process and was very accommodating! The space itself was very clean and didnt have any holes or gaps in the fencing. My dog had a blast and we’ll definitely be back :)

My dogs had a blast here! We were so impressed with the space - plenty of room for the dogs to run and play, agility course, and seated areas in the shade. Don the host is great, very friendly and even provided dog toys for my pups to play with during their time! We will definitely be back!

Cool, clean and awesome place! We will definitely come back! Host was easy to communicate with. Overall experience was great!

This is an amazing spot! Super clean, well fenced, and easy to find. Don was friendly and very accommodating. He took us in through another entrance while a class ended to help my reactive dog and offered toys once we were inside. This will definitely be a spot we return to. Thanks for everything!

Incredibly clean. Water bowls filled, hose available if more water needed. Host greeted us and asked if we needed anything, and kindly provided a tug toy. We loved the agility jumps and weave. Two yards, one dirt, one turf. Spent most of our time in the turf yard but the dirt was nice for sniffs. We'll be back!

Don's spot is amazing! Very clean, well-kept and set up specifically for our canine family members! There is a separate yard where the dogs can go to the bathroom before going to the nice turf side of the property. I really love this because it helps the dogs to have so much to sniff and go faster and also keeps the play side of the yard even cleaner! There are plenty of space and shade covers. I could not be happier and can't wait to visit again! In the pictures, there are sectioned-off areas that are all accessible through gated doors. The fencing is sturdy and these little areas made fetch a little more fun and challenging for the dogs which was a plus in my book! We could throw the ball in the wide open yard or throw them into these little sections and the dogs would have to figure out where the door was to get in and out. I like to keep things interesting if I can and Don's spot was perfect for that!

Great place to take your dogs if you need somewhere quiet with no other dogs around. Don was super helpful. He showed me around and filled up the water bowls before we went in. I had to cancel once because of the rain and he was super understanding. My dogs had a great time sniffing in the dirt yard and generally running around in the turf yard. He offered us toys as well. My dogs are reactive to other dogs so they don’t get to run off leash normally and this was such a nice alternative for them. It was quiet with no one else around to stress them out. Also it was really secure, one of my dogs climbs fences but there was no way for him to get out. I will definitely be booking again!

Jessica B.

Large space with turf, plenty of space with some shade from a pergola. There was water and bowls available, all fencing was secure, and the agility equipment was a fun bonus

Crafty Canine is a terrific facility - clean, nicely equipped with agility equipment, shady areas, astro turf, seating for we humans. My focus was off-leash training and the size of the main area was perfect - large enough to separate but stay safe. We’ll be back!

The space was wonderful, clean, and very well maintained. There are shaded areas for you & your pup to rest, and there were several full bowls of water ready for my dog when he needed to take a break from playing. The owner, Don, was friendly and gave us our space, but made himself available if we needed anything. Finn & I had a great time!

FAQ about our Poway dog parks
