55This sniffspot was a great open spot for my 2 pups to run around. There weren’t bushes but my girls were sniffing around everywhere and seemed very happy! Only negative was there was some sort of food on one spot on the grass that I had to keep them from and no place to put poop bags, but other than that would book again. Stephany S.

55This was my first time using SniffSpot and it went great! I wanted some more space to work on my puppy’s recall and give him some room to run, well this large backyard with well maintained grass met my needs. I brought my puppy in through the fence door to the right of the house, as instructed, and he practiced and ran around for 30 minutes. There was a deck that he could have ventured under, but thankfully, he didn’t. There were also stairs to the basement, but some gentle redirection kept my puppy focused. Thanks for the space!

55So beautiful and the host went above and beyond to make our visit fun and comfortable. She provided us with our own towel, treats and toys. She opened up the pool for us and our dog was in heaven! Plenty of shady spots to sit and watch our dog have the time of his life. I highly recommend. We will definitely be back regularly.Tracie T.

55Well - this spot is amazing.
Absolutely beautiful, clean, super thoughtful space. M is obviously a dog-lover, gardening master and careful hostess. She knows how to make both dogs and their humans feel at home. The dogs have lots of nooks and crannies to explore- they love the creek! I seriously could go on and on - we played hide and seek with dogs around the little paths in back - so sweet and fun. We will be back! Thanks so much for being so welcoming!!Jennifer T.

55Amazing and Lovely yard! The dogs had so much fun with the unlimited space to run, sniff and explorer! 2 of my doddle dogs loved walking through the pond. The host was very thoughtful providing water, treats (which we forgot to grab) and balls throw. We will definitely be back.

55This space is heaven! And the stream is a lifesaver in the summer. Theres so much to explore and loads of space to run too. Suffice it to say when we left, the pups were asleep within 5 minutes. The most beautiful backyard we've ever seen. You have to see it for yourself. Thank you Monja for letting us play / practice training in your amazing space. #gratefulAnn D.

55Once again our host was amazing. When a neighbor let their dogs out into an adjoining yard, she immediately checked to see what I wanted done. We had zero problem with the other dog (my one pup played with him by running parallel on the fence line for a while), but I very much appreciate her attentiveness to our Sniff Spot experience.
The yard was clean, the water fresh, and the towels left out were very appreciated on a mucky day after all that rain. That her yard is so well mulched was a huge benefit for my pups. I likely would have had to cancel after yesterday's rain if it was grass and dirt/mud. She even had wipes for my pups to use to clean their paws at the end. Kammy K.

FAQ about our Dumfries 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Dumfries 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 233 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 40 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.
