55We’ve been to this spot many times and Caren always goes above and beyond. She thoroughly cleans the water buckets for the pups and provides more than enough. There’s also so many toys and smells for the dogs to enjoy. And there’s a ton of shade and chairs for the humans. Would highly recommend this sniffspot to anyone, we’ve been to a lot of them and this one is by far the best! Chloe S.

55Caren was so sweet and generous!! It was our first time going anywhere on sniffspot, and I’m so glad we chose Caren’s! Our dogs got to run and play, and had access to lots of clean water!! We have never got to see them run in a huge field and they absolutely loved it, and it wore them out!! Definitely would go again!! Storm B.

55Wow! Incredible host and property. Tyson my Malinois felt right at home right away! Can’t say I have ever seen him so “in his element”. It brought tears to my eyes to see him thriving off leash. I cannot wait to come back early morning or late afternoon. He loved it even with the heat but yes, definitely be mindful of heat exhaustion as it does get much hotter out here than the coast. Can’t say enough GOOD! Fence condition was perfect, so many toys, and fresh cold water, even a bonus dunking tank for really hot days. Already excited for our next visit! Gracie M.

55Our pups had a fabulous time running around the huge three acre property. There was more than enough water available for them, and the shelter provided a nice respite from the sun. There were also so many toys for our dogs to choose from, which they loved!Cassandra O.

FAQ about our Valley Center fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks 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 public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Valley Center?
There are 199 fully fenced dog parks in the Valley Center area. The most popular fully fenced park is . You can browse all of our fully fenced dog parks here.
How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog park 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.
