55This spot was SO fun!! I honestly wasn’t expecting my dog to care much about the water because he hasn’t shown much interest in water yet, but he ended up having an absolute blast. I have a big dog and this was plenty of space for tons of zoomies! We can’t wait to come back! Thank you for sharing your space with us :)Jaydin D.

55I have been to a handful of Sniffspots and this one was by far me and my dogs’ favorite so far! The yard was a dream. My dogs absolutely LOVED the water, toys, and running up and down the hill. With all the space and different surfaces (hay, grass, turf, etc) they couldn’t get enough of all the smells. Also had a nice area for the humans to sit and relax while the dogs played.
The host had amazing hospitality and provided us with clear directions, easy access, drinking water, towels, and so many toys. Emily B.

55Steve loved it! Yard was super clean and a decent size for some good run around/ball throwing. Clean water was provided along with an awesome basket of toys that was much needed once he got bored with his regular ball. Easy access with a sniff spot sign which is super helpful when going into someone’s yard. We loved it! Jaydin D.

FAQ About Carlsbad 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. 2% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Carlsbad 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 280 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 358 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.
