55My pup and I had a great time at Zen Paw Ranch this morning. The place is a clean, wide open fenced field for plenty of running and sniffing. There are shaded areas with benches to relax and cool down. They provide water for your pet, but bring your own bowl. The area is quiet and serene. Just what I needed for my hyper- reactive little fella. Thank you Zen Paw Ranch! We will certainly be returning 👍Deborah K.

55This is our second time at Zen Paw Ranch, and it’s a great space (large, clean, easy to navigate) for multi-dog gatherings! Looking forward to our next visit!Taylor E.

55Second time here and it’s great! Super clean, water on site and even some toys to choose from. Lots of wide open spaces. It’s on a bit of a hill so if your dog has trouble with that just keep that in mind but running up the hill makes my girl even more tired so it’s perfect!Alex L.

55Clean, very large fenced in area with sun and shade, water (bring your own bowl!) and toys. My puppy was pooped! Other dogs are visible walking on the main road, but my reactive pup was so far away from other dogs that he was unbothered. Would definitely go again! Thank you!Ashley G.

55Two large fenced fields provided my dog the infrequent opportunity to run a wide range off-leash and at full speed, and to have freedom to explore. It is a well maintained and beautiful spot. We didn't even have a chance see it all this time but will return. I was a bit disoriented when we arrived. I tend to need more detailed info, or even better, pictures and/or or a hand drawn diagram with labels to ensure I arrive at the intended location, and understand where to park and where to enter the property. We enjoyed the visit!Stephanye S.

55First time using Sniffspot and we couldn’t be happier to have started with the Zen Paw Ranch!! The property is beautiful, easy to follow instructions and tons of space for our pups to run around!! We felt very secure with the fencing for both our XL and XS guys! There are definitely shady areas but most of the property is open fields so bring your SPF!! Which the hosts provide if you forget yours! We live about 15 mins away and look forward to many more fun times at this beautiful property!!Elana B.

FAQ About Owings Mills 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.
