55Loved this Sniffspot! Larissa and Ryan were wonderful hosts. They made our Daisy (and us :) ) feel extremely welcome, and she had a blast playing with Ryan. She wasn't up for trying out the lake, but thoroughly enjoyed splashing in the kiddie pool and chasing various balls up and down the hill... and just sniffing to her heart's content. Would definitely recommend! Lauren A.

55Larissa and Ryan are amazing! Ryan spent time playing with Tanner and helping him get some of that energy out. It’s great meeting people that have similar issues with their pets. I’m so glad I found this site! I’ll be trying to set up a weekly or biweekly session. Kimberly F.

55This is by far our favorite SniffSpot location. Our dog Shelby starts to wiggle and wag as soon as we turn on the street, because she knows she’s basically going to Dog Disneyland 😂. She gets more excited to see Larissa and Ryan than she does to see us!! And she’s always exhausted by the end, in the best way. Can’t wait to go back. Jordy R.

55Such a wonderful spot! I met Ryan and he was so welcoming and friendly. He gave a great explanation of their space and even stayed to play with the dogs! I can’t wait to visit in the spring/summer when the lake isn’t frozen! One of the best SniffSpots we’ve been to!Carlie C.

55Excellent hosts with a lovely property! We were greeted curbside and the hosts engaged with both us and our dogs during our visit. Our pups loved playing chase and sniffing around the backyard. The tent came in handy with the thunderstorm that rolled in during our visit. Both the gracious hosts and the well-kept property impressed us all. We’ll definitely be back! Poppy N.

55This is my dog Winston’s favorite Sniffspot! The lake behind the house, natural scents, and warm atmosphere make it the perfect place for him. Ryan and Larissa have been incredible, helping my previously reactive dog become more social and playful. Winston’s joy and puppy-like energy (he’s 8.5 years old) when visiting are unmatched. He’s all smiles while there. Highly recommend!Michele A.

55Enough room to run, play, and train with my 5-month-old fur baby. Very well-kept leveled lawn, private fence for off leash, great community. A location/spot I highly recommend, my fur baby and I will definitely return. My Dobbie really enjoyed the space and freedom to run.Beatrice L.

55My dog loves this SniffSpot! The yard is spacious and backs up to a scenic lake, with a thoughtful, dog-friendly set-up. Very obviously designed and planned put by true dog lovers.
There’s an agility/obstacle course, balls for play, a hilarious “Stick Library” (take a stick, leave a stick), and so much natural beauty. Depending on the season, you might see turtles, beavers, egrets, foxes, and deer. While the wild animals aren’t in the yard when we’ve visited, my dog thoroughly loves to explore and enjoy all the scents they leave behind.
Ryan and Larissa are fantastic hosts! They understand reactive dogs, having a rescue of their own, and they’re wonderfully accommodating with my dog, Winston. He usually gets nervous around strangers, but here he feels confident and runs around freely—a big improvement. I love seeing the utter joy on my urban pup’s face when he visits!
The lake is stunning, with lily pads and abundant wildlife, making it equally scenic and relaxing for me to enjoy as much as my dog. I can’t recommend this location enough—it’s truly a wonderful place for dogs and their owners!Michele A.

555/5 are not enough stars for this fabulous SniffSpot! The hosts have an amazing backyard with some gorgeous projects going, botanical and otherwise. Very thoughtfully set up, with all the things you might need, down to a first aid kit and chairs for humans. Grass, mulch, wood, and paved surfaces at various levels make a fascinating fenced yard to explore. Some fun agility equipment. And then there’s the pond! Yippee! What a gem. A great location made even better with care. The swimming and exploring made my dog’s day. Truly nice folks, too. Experienced with dogs and committed to making this world sunnier. Thanks. We felt the love. Dude is now sound asleep at home. We’ll be back! Tia M.

55Fantastic SniffSpot and Larissa and Ryan are real-life dog whisperers! My 8 y/o rescue beagle can be reactive and get anxious around others. He was completely at ease here and even enjoyed Ryan giving him belly rubs and pets! First time he wasn’t nervous around strangers.
The play area is a perfect size, with lots of trees and the lake out back is peaceful. While there, we saw egrets and a beaver. A haven for any dog that enjoys tracking scents. I was so thrilled to find a SniffSpot that has the feel of being in the country, within such a short drive of the city. Larissa and Ryan are true animal lovers and it’s evident they put that love into designing the yard. Highly recommended! Winston and I will definitely be repeat visitors. 😊♥️Michele A.

55Amazing backyard! Ladybug had a blast chasing the soccer ball and the yard had a small hill that added to the energy expenditure of chase. The lake by the house is an added bonus and Ladybug loved a dip in the kiddy pool. Morgan C.

55Larissa's sniffspot was amazing! She showed us the lay of the land and was super friendly and sweet to our dogs. The yard had tons of things for the dogs - tires for then to run through, a little ramp, and agility course, and tons and tons of balls and other toys. The dogs also LOVED to swim! It was a great touch to have a doggy pool and doggy towels for dry off the dogs. We'd absolutely recommend this sniffspot and intend to come again!Sally T.

FAQ About Woodbridge 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. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 3% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Woodbridge area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 459 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 681 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
