55We arrived a bit late but my dogs still had a chance to run, sniff, and stretch their legs. This spot was clean and they even had dog balls for
play. I would definitely recommend this spot.Rita C.

55We loved our visit at Dead End dog park! Nichole was very communicative and provided clear instructions and even caution for the slippery entry due to recent rain! The hill was perfect to throw a ball up and down for a good game of fetch! Both dogs LOVED the “forest” part of the yard- it allowed their hound noses to go crazy and they sniffed every inch of ground back there! The 6ft fence was perfect and very secure- my big hound tested his jumping skills when he saw a squirrel in the trees and the dachshund was not able to get under the fence at any point. There were good sunny patches but also lots of wonderful shade to sit in for both people and dogs during the hotter seasons! Overall a very quiet and easy experience, Nichole’s yard provided me great peace of mind as a reactive& flight risk dog owner and we could really relax and have fun. These apartment dogs are exhausted after all their fun here! Emily N.

55We had a great visit! Unfortunately it started downpouring rain upon our arrival so we had to wait until it slowed down but the host was gracious and let us stay over our time and offered an umbrella. The yard was clean and my pup loved all the new smells! Mikayla D.

FAQ About Elkridge 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.
