55Another great visit! This spot is so great for both mental and physical stimulation. There's so much to sniff, sometimes my dog forgets to run around. His favorite thing is to wander far away and then run back to me at full speed. Lots of shady spots to have a seat, too. Meagan B.

55Easy to find, gorgeous property. Our dog lives in an apartment and we take him out regularly and have enough room to play fetch inside a bit, but he used to have a backyard. After changing our living situation pretty abruptly, we have missed being able to play with him outside. This place is great and he had the best time sniffing, running around, and playing fetch. They have water, doggy bags, a few toys, shady spots, and benches/chairs. Absolutely will come again. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

55Had an awesome day at Zen Paw Ranch. My Pup loves to run and explore the grounds. I love that it's fenced and I can let him off lead. The area is clean, has some shade and benches to sit and watch him roam around and sniff to his heart's content. Thanks for having us!Deborah K.

55Our dogs absolutely loved it! They provide toys, water and doggy bags in case you forget anything or didn't have time to pack them! Plenty of space and the area was very clean. We did see a couple deer in the yard next door which was an added bonus.Justin K.

55Huge amount of space, so quiet and peaceful! Love that there are a few different sort of “sections” for the dogs to explore. Shade on the edges and in the stable. One of my fav spots to come and let my dog be a dog without any stress. They even have water, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, seating, a table, trash barrel, and antibacterial wipes. Baltimore K.

55While I didn't make it in time for my second visit to this gorgeous space, the first time I took my dog there, he had a blast. Taking my Doberman to regular dog parks hasn't been easy because of people's perception of the breed. So having this space for him to just enjoy being a dog is amazing. Thank you. Nisha M.

55We love visiting Zen Paw Ranch. It's such a peaceful and quiet place for my hyper-puppy to chill out. We saw a deer and he was Very Interested 😁. It was so hot that day so we didn't stay long (he gave out about 30 minutes in and headed for the gate). The only downside was someone before us must not have picked up after their pets. And my boy just LOVES to roll around in that stuff. So please be mindful and pick up after your pets. It's the polite, respectful and responsible thing to do.Deborah K.

55My pup and I had a great time at Zen Paw Ranch this morning. The place is a clean, wide open fenced field for plenty of running and sniffing. There are shaded areas with benches to relax and cool down. They provide water for your pet, but bring your own bowl. The area is quiet and serene. Just what I needed for my hyper- reactive little fella. Thank you Zen Paw Ranch! We will certainly be returning 👍Deborah K.

55Second time here and it’s great! Super clean, water on site and even some toys to choose from. Lots of wide open spaces. It’s on a bit of a hill so if your dog has trouble with that just keep that in mind but running up the hill makes my girl even more tired so it’s perfect!Alex L.

FAQ About Owings Mills 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.

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.
