55This was a really fun spot! Bring bug spray for you and your pups! Lots of fun wooded areas to explore with a grass area to play fetch or run around with your dog. Tucker was loving all of the new smells and different wooded areas and paths. There were two Aussies that came running and barking right up to the fence- so if your dog is reactive or doesn’t like other dogs I wouldn’t recommend.Leah B.

55Excellent spot! Lots of space and the doggies loved it! They had a blast sniffing and running around. The next door dogs did come out to say hi. They were friendly but just an fyi if your dog is reactive.Erica E.

55Super nice place. Our girl is a huge runner and she was able to have a few textures and some foliage to run through. Parking was super easy and the backyard was very clean. Also it was raining recently but there’s no mud at all. Overall great experience. Sky B.

55It’s a nice, big yard, lots of shade and interesting sniff spots! As others have mentioned there are two of the neighbors dogs along the fence, they initially weren’t very friendly but warmed up to my dog fairly quickly. The down side of that is then my dog wouldn’t play ball or anything because he was obsessed with the other dogs :)Jodi L.

FAQ About Carmel Dog Parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. 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 place for you and your dog. 16% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Carmel area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 284 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 453 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
