55There was a ton of space for my pups to run around. If your dog is an escape artist, you’ll want to keep an eye on them around the fenced areas in the yard. There were snacks for both humans and dogs and fresh water for my pups.Cedar W.

FAQ About Ellicott City 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.
