55We loved the quick access to the beautiful fully fenced in back yard. The owner was kind enough to leave fresh water on the deck. Unfortunately Shannon Grace was not feeling well, therefore we were there shorter than we expected. All in all kudos to the owner! The property was fully fenced in and we appreciate the beautiful property. It really is a "Safe Haven". Thanks, Evelyn, John & Shannon Grace. Will let our friends and neighbors know too. Evelyn D.

55This is a great space for chasing balls and furry friends! We had a wonderful play time and the owner was very kind to offer us an earlier slot due to impending rain (which we took advantage of).Nanciann W.

55Great fenced space! Fence is high and secure. Area clean and well-kept. Lots of open grassy space with also a few spots with bushes. Great for exploration and also some long dashing. We’ll be back! Thanks.Janet H.

55FIVE STARS!! Decided to take a scenic detour on a drive up north from DC, and could not have been happier with this spot! It was clean, huge, with lots of balls and frisbees, and plenty of space to sprint and sniff. Amie F.

55This is a great location and yard. Our 2 bigger dogs had so much fun! The fence is over 5’ and no gaps anywhere. I felt very safe with them. So much free running space to go full throttle and chase each other. They came home very tired and very happy! Tricia C.

55Great spot, as usual. We had a great outdoor training session today. Worked on recall, whistle recall, and “search” using birch essence. Ruby was a rock star today! Photo - Ruby at rest..Janet H.

55Another great outing at Release The Hounds! Today the neighbor dog was out and about and did some barking. Ruby gave a few barks and then was just watching with curiosity. This was very positive reaction from Ruby. Also today, Ruby displayed great (voluntary) proximity and prompt recall! Once I was successful at “hiding” by the deck steps where I was out of her sight. I whistled for her. As she came into my view, she didn’t locate me so I gave her another call. Thanks for being a Sniff Spot!Janet H.

55Great spot, excellently maintained. Very quiet and private location with lots of room for running (or ambling). The yard abuts a local neighborhood street and two people walking their dogs passed by while we were there. This led my dog to run the fence line and bark at them, but the neighbors didn’t seem to mind and it was only for a few minutes out of our time at the Sniffspot. The listing does indicate that this could be a possibility. Charlie really enjoyed his time at Release the Hounds and we will plan to return!Donna S.

FAQ about our Morgantown 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 Morgantown 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 540 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 40 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.
