55Just had a wonderful time at this sniff spot. I have a large, energetic, dog reactive, city dog and it was so wonderful getting to see him run, fetch and frolic in a huge, safe, fenced field. He had tons of room to run, play and sniff. While there, we didn’t hear a single dog, animal or person. Zen is an apt name for this spot. The host also provided an assortment of provisions for pups and people alike. Faraday very much enjoyed and appreciated his post play milk bone. We will definitely be back!Genevieve K.

55This is a spectacular spot...definitely my favorite sniffspot in the area. There are 2 large fields for some good running/fetching and overall it's just a beautiful spot. The hosts are extremely thoughtful and welcoming...even left snacks for humans and canines. So grateful for spots like this and hosts like this.Lane Brooke F.

55I had to come back and this time with both my dogs. Then rain didn’t bother them at all and the host even left out an umbrella for the people. This is an especially great place for a reactive dog. It is soooooo quiet. Genevieve K.

55My three dogs and I had such a great time this morning. Nevin was so welcoming and the property was gorgeous. I don’t believe my new puppy mill rescue dog has ever had the safe, quiet space to run so freely without distractions. We will definitely visit again soon! Carrie R.

55JJ’s Play Yard is a great spot!! My dog had the best time playing fetch and running around to his heart’s content.
Yurim is a great host, providing treats, agility equipment, and an array of toys for pups as well as waters and hand warmers for the humans!
Great spot. Would definitely come again! Merrijoy V.

55Great yard, thanks for the treats and toys. We had a fun time.
The only downside was that it is close to route 40 and out dog, who's reactive to cars didn't like looking at the cars on the street. Once we got in the yard itself, we had a great time. Thank you for sharing your yard. Ashley S.

55Perfect place to allow our fur baby to run around as our evening winds down. JJ’s provided us with bottled waters, fresh water for our pup, hand warmers, a variety of dog toys, and also dog treats that were specifically labeled for our pup. We live in a townhouse in Columbia, that have a patio that is approximately 10 feet by 10 feet. The dog parks have too many dogs playing at one time, so JJ’s yard is perfect for a quick run around in the yard before dinner. Tanita E.

FAQ about our Pikesville 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 Pikesville 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 360 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 58 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.
