Nathan's 2 Acre Partially Fenced Private Dog Park In Lorton | Sniffspot
55It's only fenced in the back, unfenced front is on a busy road. Must have good recall or e collars. Nathan greeted us, it was nice to meet him, was also greeted by his 3 adorable corgi's. Appreciate him accommodating our last minute request!

55The location is nicely landscaped, clean and secure. The host provides many amenities for dogs and humans to include covered seating, dog treats, toys, water, bug spray, etc. for summer and blankets for humans when it is chilly. She provides towels to clean up the pups and anything else you might need. The host is very personable. We had a great visit.Melinda D.

55AWESOME!! Iβm so happy that I went to this Sniffspot. If you have Rat Terriers or any terrier for that matter, this is a great spot. Mine donβt like to chase balls or frisbees, but they enjoy a flirt pole that I always take to a Sniffspot. At this location, there are birds and squirrels and lots of scents for them to sniff. They ran and ran, and now theyβre resting like angels. I didnβt have to play too much with the flirt pole because they were so engaged with items in the yard and chasing birds.
Monja was great. She meet us and explained everything before we got started. There are benches and chairs to sit on. I normally like to keep an eye on my dogs when Iβm out, and I donβt want to miss them pooping. Anyway, there are toys, treats and water available. There towels in case your pups need a wipe down. She really has thought of everything. I have been to quite a few locations, but this is the first one that the dogs didnβt need me, but I played with them anyway. I will be back.
You will love it!!Nonie H.

55This was our first time ever using Sniffspot and we'll definitely be back! Our dogs loved running and wrestling in the open areas and sniffing all around the perimeter while we loved all of the places to relax and take in the beautifully maintained space! There was even a water station, toy box, anything we could think of for a winter or summer visit. We chose this spot because of all the 5 star reviews and we're happy to pile on with another one. Thank you and we'll see you next time!Sanem K.

55Our dog Rosa had an amazing time here! She didnβt know what to do with all the free roam at first, but she soon realized she could just run and sniff and explore to her heartβs content. The host greeted us kindly and showed us around for our first visit. This Sniffspot is spacious and full of opportunities to explore! The host did a great job communicating about and accommodating our reactive and anxious dogβs needs throughout our interaction with her. It was incredible to see Rosa so happy and confident. This Sniffspot has it all - great host, great experience, and a wonderful yard. We will definitely be coming again. It was a great hour of play, decompression, and exploration for Rosa. Thank you!

FAQ about our Welcome 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 Welcome 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 296 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 51 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.
Sniffspot has 296 fully fenced dog parks in or near Welcome. Browse all fully enclosed options.
