55Caren was so kind. Greeted me when I entered, filled up the water bowls with fresh water and gave me a tour of the toys, sitting area, complimentary poop bags, etc. My dogs zoomed and zoomed and sniffed and sniffed. They loved it. And I loved not having to worry about foxtails, cactuses or any other outdoor threat, lol. This is one of my favorite sniff spots thus far, it’s a very big open space. Thanks Caren for your hospitality!!Ashley B.

55Very nice large and clean property that our Pointers loved to explore. Plenty of room for them to romp around and get tired and thirsty. Host was very thoughtful to leave bottled water out . Jessica K.

55Wonderful safe spacious yard. Easy to find & paved parking.
Nice hosts.
Variated terrain, gently sloping with lots of room for a large dog to run and explore. Everything is well-fenced, areas that are off limits are completely fenced off.
There was a lot of dog poop in several large-ish sections of the yard on our visit, but it was a very rainy wet day, So I doubt anyone reall wanted to be on poop duty! There was a pooper scooper and bottle of water with a dog bowl by the gate.
Very glad to have this new spacious sniff spot close to home, Thank you to the hosts. We'll be back. Michele S.

55This was our second visit and we had a great time playing hide and seek and running around. Huge, fun safe yard
Hosts messaged me after my first visit (which was during the heavy rain), apologizing for all the dog poop in the backyard as they had just returned from out of town and did not know the dog sitter hadn't cleaned up after the dogs. Michele S.

FAQ about our Valley Center 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 Valley Center area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is Big Back Yard/Nice deck to relax. The most expensive dog field is Big Back Yard/Nice deck to relax. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
