55We had a great time letting our dog run free for her 2nd birthday! The yard is secure, quiet, and neatly maintained. It's away from the street and has some nice foliage, which makes it pleasant for humans as well as dogs. We brought our own balls, but our puppy preferred one that she found there and enjoyed playing fetch with it. The parking is convenient and the gate that leads into the yard is labeled. We were very pleased with the experience and plan to return!Amber L.

FAQ About Alexandria 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. 3% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Alexandria 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 570 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 828 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.
