What people say about dog parks around Harrisonburg, Virginia

June 2023

This Sniffspot was so great! Charlie and Sissy had so much fun swimming and playing in the yard. We will certainly be back this summer!

Ceara R.

July 2023

This is my dog (which if course makes it mine also) dream retirement yard. The pool has 2 sets of stairs at perfect heights to lay down when he started getting tired, plenty of grass, perfect fencing, everything was perfect. And it was a hot day so the umbrella and couch for the adults was much appreciated! We will definitely be back and considering buying a membership just for this place! Parking was a bit unclear but we parked on the street / grass and it seemed to be fine (but please let me know if that was wrong for next time!).

Our dog had a GREAT time swimming in the pool. Also, they did a great job of having their blinds down to make it feel more private from the homeowners and their pets. I know my dogs would personally bark up a storm if they knew their were strangers in the backyard - super thoughtful to have the blinds down. Will be returning for sure!

Nicole S.

August 2023

Great spot for swimming! The pool is very pet friendly with steps at either end. We had no issues finding the gate into the yard, it is behind a shrub. All around great experience.

Ceara C.

August 2023

Our dog had the time of his life. He hasn’t had the opportunity to run wild for a couple months now and giving him that chance again was amazing. He ran laps after laps, we don’t like to go to traditional dog parks as he isn’t the best with other dogs so this being a option is awesome. We will definitely be back.

Such a great yard! So much space for the dogs to run. Like most of northern Virginia it can get a bit buggy in the summer. Just bring some bug spray to help combat the gnats.

FAQ About Harrisonburg 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.
