55Our second visit to Taylor Pond, even better than the first. The dogs absolutely love being able to run free and have smiles on their faces the whole time. This time we went at 8pm and they were intrigued by all the sounds of the birds and frogs.Jennifer A.

55We love coming here! The dogs love splashing in the water, running on the path around the pond, and sniffing up a storm. Also we didnt encounter any ticks or foxtails which is great.Annie D.

55This is our go-to place for off leash play. We even held a big birthday party for our pup with about 20 of his IG friends back in April. Definitely a picturesque place!Tammy N.

55This is my second time to Taylor Pond and it gets better every time! Last time my puppy wasn’t so sure but now he just turned one and he LOVED it. So much freedom and so much to do, sniff, run and play. Thanks! Janet K.

55Love this place. Fun for my dog and kids. Been multiple times. Not anything against this place… we were already 5 min late showing up and there was a group with their dogs still in their washing their dogs. They didn’t really hustle which is kinda rude. My dog is reactive at times so I didn’t want to share the space. Didn’t get to get in until 15 min after my reserved time. Nothing against this place at all but people should be more respectful of time. Simone D.

55Awesome place to come let your dog run around and be free!! Just a heads up, there were a few people on property just as the host said, but did not interact with us or our dog. This is our dog’s new favorite place!!Elizabeth C.

55This placed transformed my dog, he swam for the first time after he slipped in to the water, funny expression. His swim instinct kicked in, fun to watch. He got out and rolled in the dirt then ran around with a big dog smile. If your dog discovers water, for the first time, stay calm they will figure it out. I would recommend slip on shoes and shorts in case you need to go in to help your pet…. Remember, stay calm.
He, and his pal Copper, sniffed out ever inch of 5 acres. We stayed for an hour and they were wore out. The host is awesome, towels and hose are provided to clean up before heading home.

55My wife and I enjoy this so much we go at least once and at times twice a week with our labradors Gus and Gwen. I think it's their favorite place to be. Miles away they know where we are going and can barley contain the barking and excitement. It is very safe and is fenced. Mark L.

55This sniffspot is great - it has a pond that the dogs can get into and the trail around the pond is a great walk with the dogs. It's clean and quiet and fully fenced. We'll definitely go back. Sara G.

55Beautiful and serene pond! We loved walking around with our pup and he even took a little swim! Very clean. You can hear roosters and dogs but I actually liked that because it was a great learning opportunity for him. Perfect place for training.Sabrina R.

55My girl had so much fun. We saw a couple of people on the property but they kept to themselves. If your pup is overly friendly and goes up to people just be aware some people might fish off the dock! We did a few laps around the pond since shes not too sure about going into the water yet but we will definately be back! Such a beautiful property.Alexis L.

55My first Sniffspot and the loveliest place I’ve been in a long time! Super Serene. Fully fenced, big lake on 5 private acres. My two cattle dogs had a BLAST running and swimming in the lake. Plenty of shade, no other dogs. One million out of ten reccomend and will definitely be back soon! Kayla W.

FAQ about our Bonita dog hiking trails
Are dog hiking trails safe?
While public 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 a city or county park. With a Sniffspot off-leash area 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.
How do I know if a dog hiking trail works for my dog?
Sniffspot provides the tools to find the ideal spot. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing 6 feet tall and distractions, to find a dog park with trails that works for your dog. You can also filter by size if you are looking for a certain acre park, an expansive off-leash dog park. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog hiking trails. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog hiking trails where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Since you are looking for trails, make sure to check photos to see if it the spot has flat trails or gnarly trails. You can also browse by specific amenities, if you are looking for a view or a beach, for instance, or other activities or fun features. You can check whether the spot has off or on street parking, the regular park hours, whether it has paved trails or a modern restroom.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog hiking trail?
In order to hike the trails, we require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot hiking trail 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.
