55Awesome yard to run and sniff about! There's just enough foliage and things in the yard to act as running obstacles/extra good sniffs! And it's a great size/layout! Best part is there are almost no neighbors! Only things you could see were cars/bikes, which was great for my reactive girl. Perfect "clean up station" and lots of great toys!Victoria S.

FAQ About Gaithersburg 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.
