55We had a really fun time this was a very discreet backyard that is situated on a hill which my pitbull loved. We brought our own ball but he liked the ball she left out for him better (So much exercise) I did not bring my small dog on this visit but the hill is not so big that she would have had any issues. And the fence would not have been an issue for my chihuahua but there is safe chicken wire that ensures she wouldn’t get out. A very spacious clean space with easy self access and easy parking. The little patio area was perfect and out of direct sun also the backyard was against a set of trees on the other side of the fence which also helps for really sunny days. Phantom looooved it there overall plenty of water in the dog bowl with an extra bottle of water and a Gatorade in an insulated bag that she set out on the table. She also left a snack (for me) and a treat stick for phantom which he happily enjoyed in the last stretch of our visit after he tired out. These little touches always make the difference for us because it really helps me feel like I am actually doing something special for my dogs and they really deserve that! We felt so welcomed. Thanks again for sharing your space we will be back 😊Kenesha R.

55This was a nice private location. Gate was secure all the way around. Stephanie left out water and even included two treats for my boys that they really enjoyed once they were tired out from running. There was some cool birds in the surrounding trees and some frogs I saw too which was neat.It might be important to note that this yard is on a bit of an incline, but my boys didn’t mind at all. Would recommend! Carolyn W.

55This sniff spot was our first and what a lovely way for two lab pups to have their meet and greet! The yard is very well kept and on a pretty hillside. It has three levels that make nice run patterns. We have an energetic 8 month pup so the uphill running was a great way to exude extra energy. The patio is nice and we appreciated the convenient water on a hot day. Thank you, Stephanie, for a lovely first visit! :)Kristin W.

55This is the most amazing Sniffspot I have ever seen! They have an entire covered area outside that’s heated has a big screen TV Wi-Fi, a fireplace, two couches, blankets, and pillows so that you can relax while your dog plays! Perfect for when it’s cold, rainy,  or just for any reason!  Free Wi-Fi all of the premium channels you could ever want, blankets, drinks for pups and humans, they even have a bathroom you can use.  I have been to about 80 sniff spots and I have never seen anything like this. It is amazing. It’s amazing for the dogs and it’s amazing for the humans!  The yard is quite large, at least .75 of an acre with a huge area for dogs to run and lots of places for them to sniff and lots of little animals for them to find it’s great! They also have an outdoor fireplace and they will give you wood if you want to start a fire with outdoor seating as well! Very clean, well-maintained yard with just enough stuff for dogs to love and smell and find little critters.
Did I mention that they have a fully heated area outside with a big screen, TV, Wi-Fi, a fireplace, blankets, two couches pillows, drinks and music for humans and dogs to enjoy!  You can come watch the football game while your dog plays. Honestly, I’ve never seen anything like it. And I think it’s such an amazing idea and you should definitely try this place. Priscilla D.

55What a fantastic set up!! Great yard for our 3 dogs and a “green house” with sofas, heaters, and TV with WiFi. There is also a stocked mini fridge, snacks, and fans (when it’s warmer), candles. It’s started to snow (unexpectedly) the day we went so it was soooo cozy warm inside. Karen messaged with me to make sure our stay was good and if we needed anything. Awesome host and awesome spot— we will be back!! Erin G.

55Very nice experience. There is a nice open space for zoomies, and great shade for warm days. Host provided a little greenhouse shelter area which was appreciated. If your dog has reactivity difficulties, there are neighbor dogs that will vocalize and engage at their side of the fence, but it is not on a shared fenceline(about 3ft between) and the way the yard is set up, there is space to create good distance and lessen the trigger. Very good experience for us!mandy s.

55What a cute little spot!! Fully fenced, well maintained grass, safe and quiet. The drive through the neighborhood is gorgeous as well. Water was fresh and cold for the pups! Best part was the parking. You can drive right up to the gate and let your pups in and out with ease! Highly recommend and will definitely come back if I’m in the area again 😊Randi Lyn R.

55Gracious host. Beautiful shaded yard. Was worried it was too hot a day, but because of the shade, it felt very comfortable. My dogs loved sniffing around the wooded lot. Host had water out for the dogs which they used. Although I do live 20 miles away, I will come back as often as I can.Kathy F.

55Had my first visit here on a warm morning and it was such a treat. So much shade which is a major perk with my large, double coated dogs who don’t tolerate heat well. And the host left out two water bowls and a large insulated jug of cool water. Genevieve K.

55Awesome SniffSpot! Great location, beautiful scenery. Quiet except for the singing birds. Lots of seating options. As written in the description, a very small dog could fit through the slats below the deck. One of my pups managed to do this while I wasn’t looking, lol. But only very small/slim dogs who are a little naughty like mine would be able to do that, haha. Description on SniffSpot was accurate and communication was great! We look forward to coming back!Jennifer C.

FAQ about our Bel Air 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Bel Air 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 259 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 36 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.
Does Bel Air have any fully fenced dog parks?
Sniffspot has 259 fully fenced dog parks in or near Bel Air. Browse all fully enclosed options.
