55Krista’s sniff spot was phenomenal! We loved the amount of space available to us as well as how quiet and peaceful it was. We have a very reactive dog who did surprisingly well even though we could see/hear the neighbors dog and the neighbors. I think it was because he has so much room and space, he was more concerned with having fun! Would highly recommend this spot! Alicia R.

55I had to scramble for a place to run private training sessions when I realized I’d booked back to back worried dogs on Memorial Day weekend. Krista was so lovely to work with and took it upon herself to make sure I had all the info I needed to set up successful sessions for both dogs. Both dogs had great sessions and I will absolutely be back!Liz C.

Krissy's 1 Acre Partially Fenced Private Dog Park In Rockville | Sniffspot
55This place is amazing! Just a 30-min drive from North Bethesda. There’s lots of space for the dogs to run, they enjoyed their best hour of the weekend chasing each other and running. The house is easy to find, just make sure you go all the way down the driveway to access the advertised field. We will definitely go back! Nati v.

Krissy's 1 Acre Partially Fenced Private Dog Park In Rockville | Sniffspot
55This spot is amazing for the price. My dog especially liked checking out the old horse stable and following the tracks of animals that had passed through.
Just FYI, the fence between this yard and the neighbors' has gaps wide enough to pass through (which is mentioned in the listing, so it did not affect the rating for me). Also remember to bring your own poop bags and toys.Devon S.

55Our two dogs had a blast at this spot. The area was so large, it inspired them to run around at top speed and explore. Even our older dog was running and rolling on the grass. James G.

55We rented this spot to meet with our pups so they could reunite as they have not seen each other since they were puppies. They loved it! The area was clean and the hosts were welcoming and instructions for use were clear and concise. We will absolutely be visiting again! Callah D.

55Allen was a delight and the yard is huge. Horses and donkeys added a new element for the dogs. Fence had some potential weak spots though. If you have a runner I'd be wary until the fence is fortified. (Allen was working on this per our discussion). Michael B.

FAQ about our Dayton 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.
