55You can really tell this space was set up by a dog lover! Our pup had lots of clean space to run. The agility equipment was a bonus because we’ve wanted to see how she would respond to it. Kathy Z.

55My dogs and I loved this spot! Large area for running and smelling. There were lots of gnats in the shade, but the owner provided bug spray! The deck is currently under construction for 2 more weeks, but we found the area still beautiful and nice to use. Dresha D.

55Our two Elkhound mixes and their Corgi friend loved running around this yard. Very spacious and well maintained. Our dogs were not too interested in the agility equipment, but it's a nice option for dogs who are into that. The fence was high and secure, which was reassuring since one of our dogs likes to escape. There was one hole behind the shed that was partially filled in with loose dirt. We moved the children's slide over the hole since we have an escape artist. There wasn't any water or a bowl, so be sure to bring your own. We will definitely be back!Michelle H.

55Jessica’s yard was great! Super spacious and there was so much room for my dog to run around. She also had so much I could use for my pup like toys and balls. It’s in a perfect location. I am definitely coming back! Colleen G.

55This yard and the hosts are awesome! The location and directions were easy to find. Parking was easy. The yard is secure and well kept. The hosts left ice water and bug spray which was a nice touch. The yard was super clean, had great shade, seats for humans and my dog was so happy to run around and chase his ball.
A couple things to note, the front and back yard are connected by one fence. If your dog is reactive to people or other dogs they can make their way to the front where there was some foot traffic. Granted it was Saturday morning so probably busier than usual. It didn’t bother my dog since he was too obsessed with his ball to even explore the front.
The neighbors dog did come out at one point and bark for a minute but stopped after that. Not sure if he went back inside or just lost interest. The fence has gaps between it and the side with the dog doesn’t have another barrier so just be aware if that would be an issue for your pup.
We loved the yard and will definitely be back when it’s a little cooler out. Caroline A.

55Jessica’s yard was large, clean, and had lots of places for sniffing! There were toys out to play with and a nice place to sit on the patio. Ginger had a great time running around and exploring - it was perfect! We will definitely be back with friends.
One heads up - there are a couple relatively deep foot-sized holes in the front yard so just keep an eye out :)Meeghan M.

55Plenty of shade and sniffing spots for dogs. The host left ice cold water out for my dogs that we very much appreciated. We used the yard as a training session for our new puppy and older dog and they had a ton of fun getting used to each other. We will definitely be back!Archida K.

FAQ about our Falls Church small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Falls Church?
There are 226 small dog parks in the Falls Church area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
