55We had a great time at our first sniff spot house! My dog is a professional escaper and the gaps in the back of the fence (mentioned in the profile) would have been easy for him to get through so I was cautious to not let him roam near them. They’re not that big of gaps if you have a larger dog! The yard was spacious and had nice areas for my dog to explore. Bridget O.

55We had a great visit! The site was clean and our dog, Duncan enjoyed sniffing and running around and we appreciated having the spot. As an FYI to prospective sniffspotters: the neighbors have a dog we could hear and see but the dog could not access the fenceline. We had a great time and will be back!Stephanie S.

55Our pups had a great time sniffing and running around! The yard was clean and had lots of places for the dogs to explore. Just make sure to do a tick check when you get home — we found quite a few, which is not surprising near the woods and with the weather we’ve had.Kaeti H.

55We had a great time here! Only thing that was a bit of a scare was there were a couple pieces of rawhide around the yard and Blu can't be trusted not to gobble those down if shes unattended. Otherwise it was perfect, and I'm sure its hard to stop dogs from hiding rawhide in the yard, just something to be mindful of while visiting this spot.Green D.

55Great yard! Very secure fencing. Interesting for the dogs since it’s partly wooded. Our pups normally focus on playing with each other but they enjoyed sniffing and exploring this yard. Julia M.

55Great long yard for playing fetch and sniffing through the meadow. We got a bit muddy, so bring a towel and good shoes for traipsing. Yard was free of feces and had plenty of balls and sticks on hand to enjoy.Jackie J.

55Great big backyard space with some long grass and bamboo areas - some spots are a bit muddy. Our dogs had plenty of space to sniff and explore, chase each other, and fetch! Note that there is a dog in the yard but they brought him inside when we pulled up- if your dog is extra reactive, might be good to let them know ahead of time.Callie L.

55Had a blast at Percy’s Paradise today! The yard is HUGE and very secluded, it feels like you’re in the woods and in fact it backs up to a wooded area. Tons of space for my girl to run, play, and sniff. The yard does share a see through fence with one neighbor on the side so folks with people-reactive dogs may want to keep that in mind. We saw a neighbor go out to their car but thankfully the yard was so big and secluded elsewhere that it was easy to distract my dog and just go further back. Thanks Jennifer and Percy for sharing your amazing yard, we’ll be back! Caitlin R.

FAQ About Takoma Park 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.
