55This is a great place for our puppy to run and explore in a controlled space. The (kiddie) pool was an added bonus for us as we want our dog to be comfortable around and in water. We’ll be back, for sure.Graham C.

55This was the perfect spot for our dogs to go and enjoy the outdoors. Tons of toys to play with and two baby pools to explore - or in our dogs case - use as huge drinking bowls! Easy to make reservation - and everything we needed was right there! Can’t wait to bring our dogs back for another visit. Highly recommend!!Kelly C.

55The yard was wonderful and Spunky had a lot of fun! He enjoyed most of the enrichment activities but since he's a Hound he sniffed half of the hour. No fault to the host of course. 🤣 I will try for 2 hours next time. Definitely worth it. Spunk enjoyed the pool in the rain, the toys that were there were high quality, he enjoyed 1/2 of the agility equipment because he didn't know the weave poles or the hurdle. But next time if we come back I'm sure he'll enjoy those just the same. We enjoyed the turf grass because we got the thrash around on it and he didn't leave muddy. Not to mention the zoomies! Spunk went back in the corner opposite the gate into the yard to sniff and he set off the dogs inside just a little. Nothing too bad of course. He just heard them, didn't see them. Spunky came to me when I tried to get him away from the grate and didn't bay. Super impressed. I'm sure the other dogs were just surprised to see a dog staring down into their house. 10/10, wonderful fun. Would recommend!!Rachel Y.

55WOW! This was the first sniff spot we ever used and it was incredible. Our pup is a city dog and rarely gets to be off-leash so she loved it! Area was safe, full fence, clean, and quiet. Thank you for sharing this space with the community! Amelia G.

55My dog had so much fun! It was so nice to have her off leash and able to 'just be'. Of the amenities available she enjoyed most the refreshing dog pool. And it was so neat to be able to practice 'weave' while there. Astroturf was awesome! Felt like such a clean environment and standing was so comfortable. Between those two points and how relaxing and worry free it felt? Could have easily napped standing there. Towards the end of session heard faint clucking from a neighboring yard, which was enough for dog to hear but not go over threshold and allowed for light training moment. All in all, great time!Lexie L.

55Great yard & host! All the amenities and clear instructions. A note to those with a nervous pup — my dog takes at least one “good” interaction with anything new before he accepts it’s not scary. He usually opens up on his second visit to a Sniffspot. Not sure if it was all the dog smells or happy smells, but he was zoomie-ing around the yard within the first ten minutes. Looking forward to next visit! Sarah A.

55Wonderful space!! Lots of space and lots of fun activities for the dogs! I wasn’t sure how my dog would feel about the astroturf, but he (and I) loved it! Very clean and quiet. My dog could see the chickens next door through the slats in the fence and was very intrigued, but lots of other space and activities to distract him. Emily N.

55Perfect spot! Easy to find, plenty of parking, easy directions to enter the space, everything was exactly as described. There were obstacles, water, toys, a hose, and clean up was very easy. There was a shaded area to sit, and we really enjoyed our time there! Would definitely return, our dog is very reactive, and she had no issues at all and enjoyed her time investigating off-leash.

55Space as advertised - clean and open yard. Area is easily accessible with street parking available. This was my first experience playing with my dog on turf. No complaints, seems a great way to avoid muddy paws and a dirty car!

FAQ about our Catonsville 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.
