55We had such a great time here! The dogs spent the full hour exploring. Everything was clean and well maintained. The fence was sturdy and 5ft tall so even with a running start, my guy wasn't getting out. We will definitely be back! Kendra L.

55This place was so great! Perfect amount of space to run. There’s a nice walking track around the pond and gravel in areas that could normally be muddy. Lots of shallow entry to the pond so a nice into for our dogs to water. There are sheep in the next field over and toward the end my dog got excited about them, but not a big deal. The owner did walk a dog past the area, dog was leashed and well behaved, it was my dogs that barked like they owned the place.
The grass is well kept and mowed but enough brush and trees along the pond for the dogs to get to explore. Great benches to relax and easy access to waste cleanup sites. Would definitely love to come again!Reba N.

55Extremely secure fence surrounds a well maintained grass area with a pond. The host has also put thought into the needs and comforts of pet owners. Our black lab loves running through the ‘meadow’ and exploring the pond. Tanya P.

55Dexter absolutely loves The Pond. He ran around for 45 minutes before settling down. The space was clean, well-kept, and huge. Dexter jumped in the pond several times to swim around and loves it. We used the lure course for about 15 minutes before he wanted to go back to swimming. It was his favorite day at his favorite place. We'll be going back again and again.Allison F.

55Scheduling was easy. Directions provided by host were easy to follow. Host met us at the entrance right on time. There was designated parking. There was ample room to run and play and swim for the dogs. The space is fully fenced, well maintained. There are waste bags and waste baskets. There are hand sanitizing stations. There is a bathroom for the humans. There are benches. There are toys. It was everything we were hoping for, and the pups had a great time! Thank you for having a space like this available for us!

FAQ about our Pylesville 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Pylesville 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 239 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 35 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.
