55This spot is very private, clean, well equipped, and secure. We will be back, but we will bring a bug hat as in MD this time of the year the gnats are out of control. I also did not realize this fenced in location is on a hill, but it was great because it tired me and my dog out quickly. We will be back for sure, and bring doggie friends for even more fun! Tina K.

55This spot was great! Our dogs had a blast, with plenty of room to run and explore. The spot is clean, and the host provides water, and plenty of toys for dogs. The spot is on the side of a hill so be ready for that lol.James M.

55Wonderful pup playground! Fresh air, freshly mowed grass, birds singing, big sky. Secure fencing with a double gate. We have come here 8 times and always enjoyed the experience. Well worth the drive from DC. Mary Jo and James S.

55We had a great time here! This is a nice large field, it is clean and very well fenced. Our granddog was able to run off leash and sniff plenty of unfamiliar smells, a nice break from his usual walks in D.C. There were toys, water and treats! Barb M.

55Great location with a pretty farm backdrop. Our Whippets had plenty of space to run and the fence was very secure. There were other dogs in a different enclosure, but our dogs weren't bothered by them. We will definitely be back! Lindsay O.

55My pups had a blast running and playing! There were dogs barking at the fence in the field behind us, but they didn’t care one bit. They just ignored them and kept on having fun! Karen B.

55Beautiful, rolling hills and a huge, fenced in area. My beagle absolutely loves the scents at this SniffSpot and I love the view. Clean water and toys available. Perfect spot for a weekend getaway from the city for my dog. Highly recommended!Michele A.

55We've been coming here for over a year and a half, and it never disappoints! My favorite time to visit is early on a Saturday or Sunday morning when the farm is peaceful—I can sip my coffee while my pup runs free. The amenities are fantastic, with the host providing water, toys, chairs, bug spray, and more. It's a truly special place. If you haven't been yet, you’re missing out!Gwendolyn R.

55Awesome, secure, sunny, clean, fenced in field I had no care and just let my two pups explore around. The slope was great for running up and down and tiring them out. They had an awesome time and the property is beautiful and host very helpful in terms of directions to field. Katharine C.

55Fantastic spot. Private, fenced, and plenty of room for the dogs to run. Really pretty environment, too. I brought a bunch of stuff for my dogs (tennis balls, water, doggie pickup bags, etc.) but I didn’t need any of it. The owner has everything stocked that you’ll need — toys/balls, water, bowls, things to dry their paws if needed, treats, and more. A really fun afternoon for us all. I will be back soon.Joe K.

55We love this spot! We've visited multiple times and keep coming back. The views are beautiful and the 2 fully-fenced acres are more than enough for our large boy to run around. We especially like the enclosure in the front to be able to secure him before exiting to the car. The host was also very accommodating to an earlier start time to avoid rain the in the forecast. Would recommend!!Tricia A.

55Our 8th visit to this special Sniffspot. We drive an hour each way to get to this great Sniffspot. Beautiful ridge views, well drained grounds, and lots for the dogs to enjoy exploring. Safe, safe, fences, high and tight woven stock panels, and a double door for entrances/exits. This paddock can safely contain sheep, and it also safely keeps my escape artists inside. Highly recommend. Mary Jo and James S.

FAQ About Boyds 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 3% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Boyds area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 567 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 847 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
