55We loved our visit at Dead End dog park! Nichole was very communicative and provided clear instructions and even caution for the slippery entry due to recent rain! The hill was perfect to throw a ball up and down for a good game of fetch! Both dogs LOVED the “forest” part of the yard- it allowed their hound noses to go crazy and they sniffed every inch of ground back there! The 6ft fence was perfect and very secure- my big hound tested his jumping skills when he saw a squirrel in the trees and the dachshund was not able to get under the fence at any point. There were good sunny patches but also lots of wonderful shade to sit in for both people and dogs during the hotter seasons! Overall a very quiet and easy experience, Nichole’s yard provided me great peace of mind as a reactive& flight risk dog owner and we could really relax and have fun. These apartment dogs are exhausted after all their fun here! Emily N.

55This was a great spot. My pup loved it. There are ample shady spots, some woods to explorer too. Plus, they have dog toys, water bowels and little plastic pools to fill up with the hose you’ll have access to. Fun Sniffspot. I’ll be back!Sy S.

55Amazing space with lots to explore. The lawn was very well-kept and the wooded areas were a fun obstacle course for my pup to traverse. The owners were very gracious with their toys and supplies, the location instructions were super clear, and everything about the spot was easy going. Despite there technically being neighbors, the space is rather large and feels very remote, especially towards the back. This is going to the top of our list! Regine C.

55Truly a paradise! My dog loved it! You can’t fully supervise if they go to the back, but its perfect if you want them to do their own thing and be independent. So big and nice for her to run around she was tired in like 30 minutes. Already thinking of going back!Rebeca Sniff R.

55This location was great. The owner was extremely helpful with good communication. She had plenty of toys for the pups, water bowls, and even kids bug spray. The dogs loved the amount of space they had to run and the pool they were able to use. Great spot. We will definitely be back. Jessica S.

55My daughter brought our puppy, Mia, to play today for an hour. We do have a yard but not having a fence and kids being around all the time is very disruptive to her. She played "stick" and fetch for the entire hour I'm told. My daughter said it's a beautiful yard and would definitely take Mia again. She's currently sleeping which is a rare thing! Thank you!Catherine P.

55This sniffspot is spacious, well shaded in the morning, with a variety of puppy experiences - grass, the edge of the woods, a trail through the woods along the fence and a small baby pool for splashing. My lab loved this yard!Sandra S.

FAQ about our Elkridge 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.

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.
