55My pups and I had such a great time. They loved the stream, the sniffs, chasing bumble bees- it truly is a beautiful place for them to be free and explore.
The owners put a great deal of thought and care into making this oasis for the pups and their humans. There are plenty of places to sit and lounge. There are toys for the pups, bug spray and sunscreen for people; water and water bowls, towels, they’ve thought of everything. Kim K.

55Monja is a great host. She provides toys, water, poop bags. We brought our own supplies, but it’s nice that everything you need is there. The yard is big and really fabulous for a dog, and the owner, too:) There were plenty of places for us to sit. Our dog sniffed non-stop and was so happy. We definitely would recommend this spot.Lou K.

55The garden is in full spring bloom and looks lovely. My 2 pups and their besties always have the best time exploring, romping in the stream and fetching balls. Everyone comes home happy and tired. This is a godsend for my one high energy golden that needs to run and be stimulated by new environments! Kay O.

55This spot was amazing, you can hear the birds chirping the stream running. The host was awesome at settling us in for our appointment. Most importantly, the dogs loved it, the ran full speed for the first 5 minutes. One of my dogs loved a blue ball tug toy and had it in her mouth the whole time we were there! This spot is the best!!Jennifer M.

55This is our little guy's (and ours) favorite sniffspot! Monja's yard is so beautiful and has so many places to sniff and explore and is large enough for lots of running too. It is very secure, even for our small-medium sized dog. So many nice touches like treats and clean toys and places to sit. Monja went out of her way to make a fuss for our guy's birthday and we were able to get some awesome photos. You can't go wrong with booking here.Dee B.

55I had a wonderful experience at Secret Oasis nature conservatory. My two dogs had so much fun running around and playing in the expansive yard. The spot was fenced in and secure, so I didn't have to worry about them getting away. In fact, this is hardly the place they would ever run away from because of all the sights, sounds, and smells. This is pure paradise for both furry and non-furry creatures alike. Plus there were plenty of toys, shade, and water.
The host was very friendly and welcoming. She gave me an orientation tour of the spot, showed me where everything was, and answered my numerous questions. She also gave me some tips on how to make sure my pups had a good time.
I would highly recommend this Sniffspot to anyone!RM A.

55It's a beautiful retreat for you and your dog. Monja is a great host and explained everything to me since it was my first time ever! She was friendly to my dog, who took to her right away.
I was able to sit under the gazebo and watch my little man rummage through the toys she provides, then go explore. He found a comfortable spot and spread out in the shade. It was like being in a quaint park listening to birds chirping and enjoying the foliage. I'll definitely go back😊Christine C.

FAQ about our Lorton small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Lorton?
There are 201 small dog parks in the Lorton area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
