55Once again, super clean and the perfect spot to get the rainy day zoomies out! The mulch ground is great to reduce muddy pups after an hour of running, chasing, and wrestling. The patio heater on the porch was just what was needed to take the chill off. Puppy wipes and cold water were just what was needed, too. This is a favorite spot for my two pitties. Kammy K.

55What a great spot! Our dog had so much fun sniffing and running from one end to the other. There are some spots with slopes that were also fantastic for tiring our little guy out. As an extra bonus-it was extremely clean! Not a poop in site! We went after a day of rain and the yard was not muddy at all, likely due to the wood chips. The host was so friendly and even left out some beverages for us and a fresh bowl of water and some toys for our dog. We will definitely be back!Dee B.

55What a wonderful way to start the new year! Nice spot with lots of good smells and water for the dogs. There was also water for the humans, just in case, along with wipes and bags if needed. Had a lovely time and will certainly be back. Terry L.

55I've been lucky enough to visit Catriona's Sniff Spot twice. Each time, it's like visiting with family. She supplies water and drinks for us, a shady, comfy spot to sit, bountiful water for the pups, and a yard that doesn't get muddy! She and I share a love of and concern for pet rescue, and the fact that she donates all Sniff Spot proceeds to local rescue organizations, makes me feel like I'm helping too! We'll be back as soon as I get back from vacation!Kathy C.

55Such a wonderful host and a great place for the pups to play! There was plenty of water for the dogs and toys for them to play with. The area was clean and shaded. Could not have asked for a better experience for our ‘condo dogs.’ We will definitely be back!Heather C.

55Catriona and Ned were wonderful! I can't say enough positive things about them. This was our first Sniffspot experience, and we will definitely be back. I requested an appointment on very short notice. Catronia responded quickly, provided detailed information, and welcomed us with open arms. And as we chatted, I was able to pick her brain about an issue going on with one of our pups. By the time I got home, she had already followed up with the contact information for the trainer she recommended.
Their yard is beautiful and as advertised - high fences, private, shade, plenty of water for the dogs, some toys, poop bags, and they even offered me a beverage.
I was a little nervous bringing our pup to a new place for the first time, and now we can't wait to go back!Kimberly P.

FAQ about our Dumfries fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Dumfries?
There are 297 fully fenced dog parks in the Dumfries area. The most popular fully fenced park is . You can browse all of our fully fenced dog parks here.
How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
