55It was our second time visiting Taylor’s Pond and it was as wonderful as the last time. It was me and two dogs, both dogs had zoomies after some time of being there because they were so excited by the scents. Different from the first time we visited, the weather was a bit chilly this time and even though the main attraction is the pond the dogs still had an amazing time. It was clean, calm, and with the right amount of distractions. Reina M.

55A little piece of heaven for dogs and their people not far from the city. We took our four sighthounds there today and we can attest to the property being fully and securely fenced. All four dogs ran 'til they couldn't run any more, swam, and we got a nice walk in on the path surrounding the pond. Will definitely be returning soon.Lisa F.

55Easy to find, just follow instructions on this website. Beautiful, very large pond with ducks and a dock. There are hammocks and swings. The dirt walking area goes around the pond, you can easily walk it several times. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely return often. Liz R.

55My husband and I had such a fun time here with our pup! All the tall eucalyptus trees and the duck filled pond made it so relaxing. There was plenty of space to sniff and explore for two hours. We enjoyed looping around the pond as it reminded us of how we used to hike off leash with our dog in the bay area. We did occasionally see some people walking on a trail on the side opposite to the entrance. We saw a couple with their dog but luckily our dog did not notice so it wasn't an issue. Will definitely be back!Victoria N.

55So cool— dogs had fun, lots of room to run, swim, explore! Also fun things around the property — was kind of like summer camp! Easy to follow the directions to park and get into the spot. Note, there were two sets of adults and kids fishing so if your dog is human reacrive / aggressive check with the owner. Can’t wait to add this as a weekly treat!Terri H.

55Beautiful property! My dog absolutely loved it. The hosts were very welcoming and kind, and it was a very relaxing environment. One of my dogs has a prey drive and there were ducks in the pond, so I leashed her and took a few laps around while my other dog played in the water. Highly recommend!Elise D.

55Great spot, plenty of activities for people. Safe enough for the dogs, as long as you’re watching them. Our pups kept drinking the pond water and wanted to chase the ducks but they resisted the temptation! Will return at some point! Natalie C.

55A hidden gem! This is a really fun spot with a lot of great little touches. Right in the heart of Poway but feels like you're way out in the countryside. Our doggies loved watching the ducks and our water lover went in for a swim. I even relaxed in the hammock for a little bit!Rahima C.

55This is a really wonderful spot! We took the whole family and had a great time. Love the pond and there’s so much for dogs and people to explore and do. The hour flew by! Our dogs had so much fun running around the pond and jumping on and off the dock. We definitely hope to come back soon! Cindy P.

FAQ about our Rancho Santa Fe dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash 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 city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, with Sniffspot 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How can I find dog agility parks in Rancho Santa Fe?
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs 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. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
