Spacious backyard in quiet neighborhood - space can be private or a play date | Sniffspot
55Easy to find location, nice open space and flexible hosts. We have an anxious dog-reactive dog and the hosts were able to take their dog away and on a walk in a quick manner which helped our dog calm down after seeing them. The space is large and has a lot of different areas that our hound got to happily sniff around. She was a little unsure during this first visit so we are hoping to visit again and build up her confidence so she can play around a bit!Maria R.

55plenty of room for Charlotte (beagle/terrier/spaniel/chi mix) to run, and sunny and shady spots to enjoy. Kip left out a water bowl and there is a nice spot to sit and enjoy the yard. There are a few gaps at the bottom of the fencing which might allow a tossed ball or small pup to escape but it’s visible so you can avoid. In general a wonderful spot!Elizabeth H.

55We had a great time. There is ample shade (for those sweltering hot days) and even a full water bowl. Street parking was easy. My dog loved the toys that were in the sniffspot and I especially appreciated the great Adirondack chairs for myself. Will be back!Yasmine D.

55This was a wonderful spot for Juno to play! There were three doggy pools for her to jump around in and run though and she had a blast. Plenty of space for fetch and lounging. Alana R.

55Really great spot! My dog had so much fun. Very well maintained with amenities like bug spray, a chair, bags, a sprinkler, and a mini pool. It was a little bit of a splurge for us but it was so worth it seeing my dog love it so much— she was actually smiling! Thank you for hosting us! Brittany P.

55Nice big yard on the corner at the top of the hill. Fences were tall enough for our small dogs(20lbs ish). But they might be short for large dogs.Robert H.

55Wonderful backyard space! We went in through the side gate and had no issues. The owners are also very responsive and quickly answered any questions I had. We’re excited to go back when the ice has cleared. Anie J.

55Winnie and I were happy to return to Caren’s backyard where Winnie sniffed and ran to her heart’s content! Caren provided fresh water and a comfortable patio and plenty of toys. Parking was easy and so was the communication. Next time we want to return with a dog friend!Jane A.

FAQ about our College Park 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.
