55The barking lot is such a GREAT space to have a dog pawty! Alena did more than enough for setting up the pawty and making it super special for us. The snacks, decorations and custom favors for our pups were amazing! Since I live in an apartment, I didn’t have space to have a get together with all the dogs in my pups family. Alena’s yard was so spacious, clean and a safe place for the dogs to have a great time. Def recommend throwing a pawty here or just having the space to let your dogs run free! We will definitely be back! Toni D.

55This place is incredible!! I 100% recommend this place and we’ll definitely be back. Alena was incredible and she put SO much details and thought and care into this backyard. It wasn’t just a treat for my dog but for me too!! We both had so much fun and enjoyed a lot. It was so easy and simple and Alena was so good with communication. The fence was also so sturdy and tall. I worry about this type of stuff since my dog is a rescue and gets very nervous so I don’t want him to get scared and run away. The fence was amazing. There is no way any dog is getting out of there and it had very cute string lights all around with even speakers that you can connect your music and wifi available!! Overall 10/10. I loved it so much!! Thank youu Alena!!Veronica A.

55We very much enjoyed our time here. As soon as we exited the car, Dominoe started to get freaked out by the unfamiliar neighborhood. Strange places and almost everything that moves scares him, so i was afraid it would take a few visits for him to even warm up to the place, but once we got behind Alena's very high fence, he realized it was just me and him and a bunch of room to safely run around. We just got home and my high energy boy is already dozing off in our arm chair. Thank you Alena!!!Chawn C.

55Five stars are not enough! This is one of the best Sniffspots around. Not only is the space perfect for play - it is big, clean, safe, and fully fenced - but there are adorable touches like a small dog house in the shape of a firehouse and a small fire hydrant! There is plenty of space for people to sit comfortably while the dogs play. Most of all, though, Alena is an incredible host. She was patient while I figured out which day would work for us, she checked in, and she made us feel so welcome. We upgraded to the pawty package because it was my pup's 2nd birthday - Alena threw us the best party ever! It was so worth it. She is so tuned in to details and was so thoughtful. Having said all of that, she left us completely alone while we were there (though I would not have minded meeting her!). We felt like we were on vacation. We can't wait to go back. It was perfect. Thank you Alena!Elizabeth L.

55My dog and I have become regulars here over the past month and love the space! The yard is always clean and incredibly secure. Alena, the host, goes out of her way to make sure you and your pup have an enjoyable experience and is the kindest person! The barking lot is the perfect getaway from city life for my anxious reactive rescue. My dog actually knows where we are when we’re pulling into the neighborhood and excited squeals when we get there. I love to study here and get some work done (she allows you to use her wifi!) while my dog runs around like a maniac :) Can’t say enough good things about this spot and it’s host!Bethany S.

55By far the coolest sniffspot we’ve been to! They have everything a dog could ask for- a swimming pool, a ball pit, a spot to dig. And for the humans they have wifi, snacks, a Bluetooth speaker. Will definitely be coming back!Jenny M.

55My 2 dogs absolutely loved it here! The played in almost every inch of the yard! Aspyn’s favorite spot was definitely the dirt pit with the fire hydrant. Millie’s was probably the ball pit. Sydney D.

55How could any dog *not* love this spot?! It’s so much fun. Millie especially loved the ball pit and the bubbles that were provided. The hay was also a cool addition that she enjoyed sniffing, and we of course had to get photos of her in the firehouse. We’ll definitely be back! Marissa G.

55I don’t know who had more fun - the dogs or my daughter! We had an absolute blast at The Barking Lot this morning. The place is totally decked out for Halloween and we couldn’t get over the details. We especially loved the hay display; my female chi loved jumping up and down the three levels! My male chi ran all over the yard. The hour flew by - we will be back, soon! Will spread the word about this great spot on our Instagram! Sarah M.

55The Barking Lot was awesome. It had baby pools that could be filled with the hose, a baby pool filled with balls like a ball pit, a dog house, fire hydrant, and a spot that your dog can dig in. They provided water bowls, water, dog treats, tennis balls, towels, bug spray, and even human snacks. Can’t wait to go back!!Alyssa W.

FAQ about our Media 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.
Are 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 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Media area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 594 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 48 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
