55This is the BEST SniffSpot for our Heeler! Having him off leash seemed like a fantasy before we found this spot. We had such an amazing time and it was truly so awesome seeing him so happy & free! We will DEFINITELY be coming back - totally worth the 45 min drive for us :) The host is wonderful and very communicative. The trails/property are well maintained and absolutely beautiful. We booked 2 hours and there was plenty to explore. It was such a great experience. So happy we found this spot!Amanda Y.

55What a beautiful property with a welcoming and communicative host. My Mom, her dog, and I had the most amazing hike in the woods and the zoomies from Maggie put the biggest smile on our faces. Loved every minute!Cassie M.

55Really clean, well marked trails. Continuously walking, we ended the orange trails in about 40 min. Dogs had a great time and were very interested to see goats (from afar!). Charlotte H.

55WOW, this place is awesome! So much exploration to do, and what seems like never ending trails 🙂 Very cool place! Could easily spend over an hour here. Definitely don’t book under an hour, or you won’t be able to explore it all. Also, I feel I’d be able to let my reactive dog off leash here. It’s so big and private! All we seen was one deer, but I spotted it before my dog did lol. Venus R.

55Excellent location! I loved the cleared field for playing with the dogs. The trails are clearly marked. One of my dogs barked at goats and chickens, but it was nice to see them living together. Had I noticed them ahead of time, I would have given treats for just observing and not barking, but it’s a different environment for the dogs not having been around chickens and goats. I have 2 Rat Terriers. Anyway, they spent a lot of time running around and they had a good nap in the car and on the couch after playing. I would absolutely be back!!Nonie H.

55This is an exceptional sniffspot. Mary Lou has taken a lot of care to mark trails, maintain a large field for ball play. She’s also really responsive to emails and bookings. If you visited her property before you should try it again. It’s even better now and bar was already high. William I.

55Great spot to let my two large dogs off leash. The trails were well marked. Lots of hilly terrain that led to a small stream. I was surprised to drive through a neighborhood to get there. Catyana F.

55This spot is incredible! The host is kind and communicative, the instructions are clear, and the trails are well marked, clean, and private. We had an absolutely wonderful time walking the trails, and our pup loved cooling off in the stream. We enjoyed hearing lots of birds and even saw a beautiful fox. Since this spot isn’t fenced, be sure your dog has excellent recall or plan on going for a leashed walk (which would also be lovely). Highly recommend! Emily C.

55This sniffspot has it all! Well marked, cleared, trails with the ability to go off trail should you choose. A large creek with clean water runs through a large part of the orange and pink trails. Be prepared that it is a lot of uphill hiking for the humans, wear good shoes! There was some muddy spots on the trails down by the creek as well if you have a dog who loves mud like we do. We kept our dog on a 50ft lead and was just fine on the trails since they are cleared. Lots of shade in the woods and sun in the field. Goats are tucked away on the opposite side of the parking if you feel the need to keep your pup away from them. Mary Lou provided all the information we could need, as well as a detailed map! She was available for communication but we did not see her while there. Great sniffspot!! Kate F.

55Our puppies had the best time exploring trails and nature for the first time. The spot was well marked, super clean, and nice. We didn’t see any other humans or animals besides the adorable goats on their property. We had an amazing time and cannot wait to be back!!!! Thanks for having such a nice place for our puppers to roam, learn, and explore. Amanda S.

55Indie had such a great time exploring the trails and playing in the creek! It was great to work with him off leash and have the privacy without other people or dogs around. This was our first Sniffspot experience and I highly recommend this location! Abby C.

55 Nice trails with clear marks. We did all the trails and it took around 40 min. Sprays will be necessary. Found 2 ticks on my dog afterwards. Overall a very good experience Reese C.

55Lovely spot. My GSP girls tired themselves out with loads of sniffing/running/prowling. Pay attention to the markers on the trees, if you don’t see any, you’ve probably strayed off. Good cell service, quiet area, informative host provides all the info you need, along with a map explaining the paths. Angelia G.

55Wonderful private spot! This place was highly recommended from my trainer to work on our e-collar skills. Trails are clearly marked, we had no problems navigating even with the freshly fallen leaves. It was wonderful to be able to let my pup run and sniff without getting tangled in a long-line, or me being paranoid about hunters. Sam C.

FAQ about our Owings 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 Owings area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 310 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.
