55Absolutely the best! Will be going back again and again. It was heaven for our reactive dog who was able to fully relax and run/explore. So quiet and felt like we had acres to our self with no other people or dogs heard/seen. Bess H.

55My pup, Toki, and I were very impressed with this SniffSpot! It was very clean and the fencing and double gated entrance were great! I had no worries letting Toki run free. We’ll be back! 👍🏻🐾Laura A.

55What a beautiful first Sniffspot experience for my dog! My heart was so happy to see him get to have stress and reactive-free play time in a safe space. The fully fenced in area was secure and amenities (especially the extra water and bowls) was helpful. He was one happy and tired pup, thank you! Nicole A.

55Drove from VA to Madra Feild, traffic was horrible but so worth it. Beautiful and peaceful, well fenced in and loved the sitting area. My dog ran and ran she loved it. Will be back. Heads up no bathroom but down the road a little is a small grocery store with a nice bathroom. Lisa O.

55Wow!!! This sniffspot is amazing with beautiful views for Fall! Plenty of open space for our dog, Dax, to run free. He thoroughly enjoyed himself. He also got to see a horse for the first time! This is our new favorite and we will definitely be returning! Thank you, Rebecca, for helping us provide such a wonderful experience for him.Tricia A.

55This spot was fantastic. The dogs loved it and it gave them the freedom to run hard. They wore themselves out. Everything was provided.... toys, treats, water, bags, even a place for the dog parents if needed. The comfort of knowing your pups are safe and can run is priceless. Rebecca gave great directions to the spot. Amanda Z.

55George and Oliver had a blast playing fetch in the wide-open space. The secure fencing gave us peace of mind, allowing them to run freely and safely. The shelter offered a nice break from the sun, and the chairs made our stay comfortable. We're looking forward to our next visit.Thomas R.

55My cattle dog Zara had so much fun stretching her legs at Madra Training Field!! We drove up from DC and it made for a great little trip out of the city. Field was clean, fence was secure, and Rebecca had all the essentials: toys, water, bowls, frisbees, doggy bags, etc. We will definitely be back! Zoe B.

55Great spot, especially at this time of year as the views are killer. It has everything you need, including water, toys, shelter, and bug spray (which you will likely need) and so much room for your dog to sniff and run. The property is a fairly steep hill so just be prepared if your dogs like to chase toys, but not so much bring them back (ask me how I know, lol). This was my second time here and I will definitely be back. Jen B.

55This was a perfect spot for my dog. He loved running and exploring, and even got to see a deer. Communication was perfect, the space was clean, and the fresh water, toys, and chairs were a huge bonus. The space is a hill, which I loved because I got some exercise, as well :) This was a 40 minute drive for me, and I will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your space!Dara T.

55This place is great for reactive dogs! I watched the entrance video on how to get to the field and it really helped as it is in the middle of the farm for sure. Thanks for all of the supplies and the trash bin. I will be returning very soon!Carter V.

55Our dog Styx had a great time playing with his toys and zooming around the yard. Plenty of shade and some sun and good sniffs (he's a beagle mix)! There was water for Styx and us and chairs to hang out in while he roamed around. Perfect size yard for our beagle!Tordis F.

FAQ about our Poolesville 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 Poolesville 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 517 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 63 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.
