55Y’all have to check this place out!! Absolutely our new favorite spot. When you arrive you can just follow along the cornfields and you will find countless places for your dog to run, sniff, and play! There’s a creek with some trails through the woods and a ton of space to run along the cornfield. Feels super private and quiet. Amazing place to let our reactive city pup run off leash but even if you’re not comfortable going off leash this place is still worth it as an on leash hike - great place for a long line!! We saw some deer so just be aware if your dog likes to chase wildlife. Emily M.

55Bring your hiking boots! Lots of great sniffing opportunities but it could get muddy on a rainy day. I didn’t notice any other animals around which was perfect for my reactive dog. He had a ballast zooming around the trails and through the woods. Kaya R.

55I am a repeating customer of this sniff spot and my dog always loves it. They recently added a privacy curtain to their fence so my dog doesn’t see the neighbors’ dog which is a huge thing for us. They have also added more seating in different parts of their big yard so that you can monitor your pup from all parts of the yard. Thank you!Madiy L.

55Both my pups had a blast. The moment they got inside the gate it was endless enjoyment for them. It’s a beautiful backyard with plenty of space to run and play. I enjoyed the privacy it provided and appreciated all three covered seating areas. Can’t wait to bring them back. Kristy L.

55Great sniffspot. Pups had a blast. Lots of running room and places to sit for humans. We couldn't find a water bowl so I would definitely bring one next time. Becky S.

55Our 2 labs had fun today! The yard was spaciousness and clean. The best was the water cooler for the dogs and a shady place to sit on a hot sunny day. Our dogs loved roaming around free and safe.

55Due to a crazy thunderstorm I wasn't able to bring my golden but the host was super helpful and she gave me a code to use within the next 30 days to try again and I definitely will be trying again. I was really looking forward to bring her it would have been the first time using a sniffspot. I'll update when I get to actually go with my golden.Teri B.

55Amazing yard and dog park that had a great seating area with shade and plenty of water for the dogs. There were toys, bowls, and poo bags too. My dogs had a great time. My Lab was eyeing up the pool big time and I know she would have jumped in if it wasn’t fenced in. Annette J.

55This is one of my favorite spots so far everything was so clean and well organized perfect place for my dogs to run nonstop for a half an hour. I would highly recommend this to anyone. There’s not many snifspots in the Eldersburg area that are worth going to, but this one definitely is. Linda P.

55AMAZING!!! they really put in care to making sure it’s a dog friendly space and making sure there’s no nooks and cranny’s for your favorite trouble maker 😆. The yard is so big and beautiful, we use sniff spots for meet and greets for our foster dogs and there was also a really beautiful patio area, as well as a picnic table at the back of the yard. Seriously amazing bang for your buck 🤩 Samantha T.

55This yard is beautiful! My backyard isn’t fenced, so my dog always has to be on a long-line whenever we’re outside. He didn’t know what to do with all this space! He’s spent the first 10 minutes or so just exploring and running free off leash. By the end of our visit, he had a huge, blissed out grin on his face. The only downside is my dog loves to swim, so he kept running back trying to find a way in the pool wanting to jump in. We will be back for sure!Cheryl S.

55Our first time visiting a SniffSpot and it was great! This spot is exactly as listed, very clean, good amenities, and a great balance of sun and shade! My little guy had a blast and the fencing was secure enough for my 12 pound ball of energy! Entry instructions were clear and parking is right outside the entry/exit gate. Would definitely recommend and will be back soon. Thanks so much!Melanie M.

FAQ about our Finksburg 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.
