55This is an awesome property. Secure enough to contain two rowdy Border Terriers. The donkeys and chickens are used to dogs so when my dogs barked, they got no reaction and that was that. I appreciated the benches around the property as I am mobility challenged and need to rest . Quiet, peaceful and beautiful.Leslie P.

55Kaipo, who we recently adopted from CASA, LOVED this place (as did we). A little tentative with the great outdoors and off-leash, he quickly adapted, even to the “scary” running water in the creek. Thank you so much for providing this outdoor oasis for doggos. Ginny C.

55Very beautiful and peaceful spot! My dogs loved exploring. Loki's favorite thing to do is sniff around so he had a great time going off the path and checking out what was going on in the woods. We will definitely be back! (:Sarah A.

55Loved having a beautiful trail all to ourselves. It was nice and maintained and peaceful. Seen some wildlife zoom by in the trees but couldn't make out what there were. We were able to put our dogs on long leashes to let them explore and they had a blast. Alyssa L.

55Love this spot. Surrounded by trees, nice wide path for walking. They even have signs throughout telling you about the trees and wildlife, nice touch.

55What a great spot! We could have gotten away with an hour, but glad we booked 90min for the first time. Grace met us and oriented us to the spot and everything was clearly marked. We’ll definitely be back!Tanya B.

55A great area for dogs to explore! There are some pathways for 2 and 4 legged; there are small pathways that our 2 bull through😆 It is not fully fenced, so some recall might be needed (in case of bunny sightings 😉) Poop pail in parking area. Lots of fun “sightings” throughout.april W.

55The host is so sweet. She greeted us upon our arrival and she also left treats for me and my dogs. The property is HUGE, lots of woods and water for dogs to play in. My dogs had soooo much fun running around and playing in the water. The bulk of the Sniffspot has wire mesh fencing, but there is one part that has rope fencing. Your dogs would have to be able to scale a hill to get past it but I believe if they got past this rope fencing it would just lead them to a part of the property that isn’t a Sniffspot but still also fenced. I just had my dogs stay away from this part of the sniff spot just because I know they can scale a hill as they’re escape artists. I’d definitely return here. It’s beautiful scenery and super fun for dogs. Dakotacheyenne D.

55Grace's property is beautiful and we all enjoyed a lovely walk around and a cool off in the creek at the end. Excited to see the hip camp cabins in a fenced area too. The boys loved a bit of freedom to roam. Thank you for the treats at the end too, Grace!Katie S.

55Second visit here, first time in the summer. I love it even more than I did the first time now that the ground is dry. Just a lovely, phenomenal place. Safe and quiet. So much variation in terrain for the dogs. So much enrichment for the human who talked to the donkeys & the chickens more than she did her own dogs. 😆Tonya K.

55This Sniff Spot is amazing - my dogs were able to run around the different trails for the entire hour, and it always felt like they were finding a new area to explore or a new path to take. We are always pretty nervous about fences being secure enough, and we felt very comfortable with the fence here. I appreciated meeting Grace as well (since it was our first visit). She gave us the rundown so we didn’t have to worry about anything during our visit. Can’t wait to come back! Meghan N.

55A rustic wooded SniffSpot without blackberry thorns?! Count us in! My dog loves crashing through underbrush to hunt rabbits etc. A little more bushwhacking than I expected for myself, but that’s just bc I like to walk the perimeter of new spots to assess the fencing. Plenty of spots to hang out and not follow your dog into the trees if that’s your vibe. Elise D.

FAQ About Arlington 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.
