55Just the most darling little yard. PERFECT for off-leash puppy training. Also, the landscaping offers enrichment opportunities unlike a large field. I would have used this gem when my babies were small almost daily. Unfortunately, my boys are bigger and were looking forward to the park and a good run, and this space was too small. Very lovely though. Laurie C.

55I highly recommend this spot! It's a great size, was very quite and gorgeous! Easy to get to as well - right off of major roadways but surprisingly quiet and secluded. Beautifully landscaped with lots of different sections of yard for my dog to explore and enjoy all of the lovely smells - and definitely room for him to run. Not only is this a wonderful place for your dog to decompress, but it is a wonderful place for humans to decompress as well. The yard is so lovely and there were different sections with seating depending on if you wanted to enjoy shade or sunshine. The host is very gracious as well - had a variety of toys, big bucket of water, and some bug spray and sunblock if you wanted it. I'll definitely be back!Mary D.

55This was our first SniffSpot experience, and it was wonderful. A fabulous location, backyard, and host!! Catriona met us at the gate for our first visit to her backyard and graciously welcomed my two 2 fur babies into her yard. She provided cold water for both the dogs and me to enjoy. The yard is perfect… Very private and shaded with a secure fence for big or small dogs. Thank you for this wonderful experience!! We’ll be back. Janice P.

55This spot was perfect! It was quiet and secluded (12-1 pm on a weekday). My dogs loved all of the areas to explore and sniff. The largest part of the yard is perfect for playing fetch. There was ample water and tennis balls. Catriona was very welcoming and even provided the humans beverages. Definitely will be back!Dana C.

55Overall, Amelia's place was exactly what we were looking for: big enough to accommodate multiple dogs (although I only brought mine this time), clean, and easy to find. For the price, you can't beat it. We'll definitely be back again!Brandy Z.

FAQ about our Locust Grove 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 Locust Grove 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 117 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 21 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.
