55JJ’s Play Yard is a great spot!! My dog had the best time playing fetch and running around to his heart’s content.
Yurim is a great host, providing treats, agility equipment, and an array of toys for pups as well as waters and hand warmers for the humans!
Great spot. Would definitely come again! Merrijoy V.

55Great yard, thanks for the treats and toys. We had a fun time.
The only downside was that it is close to route 40 and out dog, who's reactive to cars didn't like looking at the cars on the street. Once we got in the yard itself, we had a great time. Thank you for sharing your yard. Ashley S.

55Perfect place to allow our fur baby to run around as our evening winds down. JJ’s provided us with bottled waters, fresh water for our pup, hand warmers, a variety of dog toys, and also dog treats that were specifically labeled for our pup. We live in a townhouse in Columbia, that have a patio that is approximately 10 feet by 10 feet. The dog parks have too many dogs playing at one time, so JJ’s yard is perfect for a quick run around in the yard before dinner. Tanita E.

55Mia, our 2 year old border collie, had a great time playing in JJ's Play Yard! It was great exercise and she wasn't distracted by outside people walking by or other dogs. She fetched her stick, which she loves to do, until she was completely worn out. The backyard was big with a tall fence. The hosts left treats for Mia (thank you) and set up a Valentine's Back Drop (with props to use) to take a photo of Mia. So cute and thoughtful! The hosts also left candy, water (not just for the dog) and other amenities that you may not think to bring. We will definitely be bringing our Mia back to play. This is perfect for anyone who lives in an apartment or doesn't have a fenced yard. Perfect!Catherine P.

55Super nice and large yard! It was easy to find and the neighborhood was quiet, which my timid dog appreciated. He was able to run a few laps and had a good time sniffing around. FYI that there are some pokey seed pod things on the ground right now, and my plant app identified poison ivy growing on a tree trunk, so just watch out for those.Bee M.

55Had a great time at this SniffSpot! The yard was plenty large enough for my large dogs to fetch, run and play. It was especially great for my reactive dog because the fencing is high and secure. The owner had a chuckit ball thrower and lots of balls for my dogs to play with. I’ll definitely be back. Genevieve K.

55Really nice, large spot! Well maintained and lots of shady areas for beating the heat. I live in Parkville, so it’s really awesome that this spot is so close to my house since most Sniffspots are farther away. My pup enjoyed playing fetch and sniffing around. It was also very quiet!
We will definitely be back and I have already recommended it to friends!Liz R.

FAQ about our Pikesville 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.
