55This was my first sniffspot ever, and I was quite impressed. The hosts provided us with water, toys, treats, and they also took care of the poop I picked up from my dog. They came out to greet us (they seem to be very kind and friendly people) and then let us be. My dog enjoyed the spacious area full of lots of smells and ran around. There was also plenty of shade to rest in. As a last good note, the fence was quite high so my dog could not escape. The only issue I had was that when we first arrived, their dog had escaped into the sniffingspot before we got into the enclosed area. Even so, the hosts took care of the issue promptly and there were no more problems. As I was their first ever guest, I’m certain this won’t be a recurring problem for future ones. I will definitely be frequenting this spot again.Cecelia K.

55Just wanted to mention that in my last review, I had false information in it. Apparently I arrived fairly early without realizing it until much later, so that was why the host’s dog was in the yard. In the end I really have nothing to complain about!Cecelia K.

55This was easily the best Sniffspot I have ever been to. Fenced in 6 acres for my dogs to run their hearts out. I have a very active two dogs that never seem to get tired but this definitely did the trick. Beautiful pond views from the park, brought food for a picnic and enjoyed the farm. Best of all was able to spend the rest of our day in nearby Gettysburg after our visit, already booked my next visit Jennifer R.

55This spot was awesome! We live in Baltimore, our grand puppies live in Littlestown so we booked this spot. It was only 28 minutes from Littlestown and it was great! There is so much room for the dogs to run. Our dogs were tuckered out and slept all the way home! Very quiet and well kept.Christine R.

55The property is beautiful / scenic. Grassed clean pastures. The perfect place to be off leash to run and roam. And sniff away. And just be a dog! My two border collies had the best time. And me too watching them. Really appreciated the fresh water bowl and chairs for sitting. A tired dog is a happy dog — after a run at this farm . Linda F.

55We absolutely love visiting this sniff spot! Our dog, Shelby, is a one year old German Shepherd who has an unfortunate history of being abused and abandoned. She is very dog reactive, and we live in the suburbs with no fence and dogs on all sides. Being able to come to a safe, well maintained area and let her run off leash is absolutely saving my sanity, and is helping her to relax and decompress as she adjusts to life with her forever family.Jessica Y.

FAQ about our Carlisle 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Carlisle 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 88 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 9 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.
