55We love this Sniffspot so much! It is our go-to, with a high fence, lots of room to run and explore, private entrance, and quiet area! We never have to worry about anything when we are here with our pup, who is afraid of strangers and can be reactive. There is a nice table and chairs to sit at, and the lovely host will even set up a kiddie pool if requested. Thank you so much!Alison F.

55CJ can’t wait to come back! The spot was truly perfect. Plenty of space for him to get the “zoomies” out, and a great set up for me to sit and hang out when he just wanted to walk the perimeter to sniff. I felt so safe and comfortable here, and it was very easy to find! The fence offered a great balance of security and privacy. Plenty of street parking in the surrounding streets.
I will definitely bring CJ back here to play and train! Rose M.

55This yard was lovely! It was nicely maintained, including the tall, secure fence. We arrived to bowls filled with cold fresh water, and an assortment of balls and sticks! There was plenty of shade. We were there at 3:30 on a weekday and found parking easily on Ivy St, super close to the house. The house had a Sniffspot sign and it was clear where to enter the yard. Great experience.Suzanne H.

55My dog loved this backyard! It's a good size - not huge but plenty of room for your dog to run around and play fetch. The host provided water and has a bin full of tennis balls, which was really nice. Would definitely recommend. Michelle T.

55My friend and out dogs Taco and Kami had a super fun play date at this Sniffspot. It is a big yard, enough for a medium hound mix and large GSD to run and chase each other and of course plenty of things to sniff. The home owner provides water bowls and hose for fresh water and a nice basket of sticks for tossing and chewing. For the humans there is a table with four chairs to sit, relax and watch the dogs have fun.Jennifer M.

55As always, a great location. The yard is kept very well and some sticks/balls left out along with a few water bowls. Had a great time with our pup today!Patrick G.

55We had a wonderful time here today! We spoke with the owner before visiting and since she let us know that there is a few inches of a gap under the back fence we brought a 30 foot leash for our small dog so she could explore without us worrying. There were two big bowls of water and the grass was a great length. No poop on the ground, which we appreciated. We stayed about half an hour because it was our dog’s first sniff spot and she was tuckered out quickly. 100% would recommend visiting and we can’t wait to come back!Julia H.

55It was Olive’s first sniff spot and it did not disappoint!! She loved romping around and running laps. She was just as happy to take a rest in the shade on the patio. Wonderful spot and we will be back. Emily C.

FAQ about our Chesapeake Beach 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.
