55This place was amazing. Great instructions. Nice covered area to sit and plenty for the dogs to do. Would highly recommend. We are visiting out of town for a wedding but wanted to get the dogs out of the Airbnb for a bit, and this place hit the spot! Thanks again!Chelsea H.

55This was such a perfect spot for my dog to run! There’s water set out and poop bags for you if you forgot to bring some. The set up is perfect for some enrichment for your dog, and it’s nice and cozy for you while you watch them play. I definitely will be coming again and am so grateful this place exists:) Sidney L.

Kandi's Private Dog Park In Vista/San Marcos | Sniffspot
55Kandi's Private Dog Park in Twin Oaks area between San Marcos and Vista is beautiful. There are great trails. There are two gates into the property (for cars). Before you let your dogs off the leash, make sure that both are closed. It is the responsibility of the dog owner to make sure the gates are closed if you need them to be for your dogs. Also, be aware that the owner is living on the property, so be respectful of their homes and the things around their homes. I had to steer my dogs away from their personal effects around the homes (because my dogs were so excited, they wanted to explore every corner of the property, if I let them!).
Regardless, one of my dogs got to go swimming. And all three had a blast running all over the property.
Thanks Kandi, for sharing your huge property!Curtis T.

55What a great sniff spot! The space is huge, and it has so much to offer for exercise, training and mental stimulation. You can teach your dpg some agility.
There is plenty of shade under the pergola to take a break.
There is a water bowl and a water hose. Check the water on a hot day. The first part comes out very hot if the hose has been lying in the sun.
The parking and entry instructions are easy to follow.
We'll be back! Alexa F.

55So, we got lost on the way there, but Kandi called me back almost immediately to give me proper directions to her place. My dog Luna had a blast. Now, she has enjoyed all the other Sniffspots as well, but this one has to be her favorite. She jumped in the pond after a thorough inspection of the property and needed a bath after we got home because she was muddy, but I found myself cracking up, having a wonderful time just watching her be a goof.Gabriel B.

FAQ About Vista 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. 1% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Vista 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 310 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 392 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.
