55We were excited about coming here but it started lightening right as we were arriving. The hosts were very responsive and provided us a quick refund on the visit due to the danger of being outside in a lightning storm. Appreciated that and looking forward to coming again ! Diana K.

55Hi! Great experience. He would not leave the big balls and was wearing himself out so I put them inside of the stack of tires. He was very tired out which is our goal. We ate a nice lunch while the dog was playing with the balls. I left them inside of the tires or we would not have gotten him out of there. My husband loved the sofa in the shade.Pat B.

55Our dog had a wonderful time with the big herding balls and had plenty of exercise and has been sleeping since we got home. We enjoyed sitting at the picnic table and eating and watching. We did intervene when he was too close to the pool. Great set up. We could hear other dogs but you cannot see them. We will be back.Pat B.

55Great yard we love coming here. It’s been the only yard so far my dog has not been able to escape from by jumping the fence so that’s a huge relief. My only disappointment is that I live 50 minutes away but definitely worth the drive.Ramona c.

FAQ About Sykesville 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.
