We have renamed the Sniffspot but we are still the same quiet and peaceful 1 acre yard that is perfect for reactive dogs! ***Featured on NBC & CNBC: https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/consumer/making-money-from-home-diy-dog-parks/3070501/ https://twitter.com/thenewsoncnbc/status/1565851648014131200 Follow and tag us on instagram @dog_on_tegridy and share your pictures on our Facebook page Dog on Tegridy We are conveniently located right off Exit 13 from the ICC (MD-200)!

Fire pit available for use (for bookings of at least one hour) Comfy lawn chairs added (7/22) Check out our reviews! Please feel free to take and post pictures of your visit. We have dogs of our own but keep them inside during bookings by default but you can request for them to come out and as long as somebody is home during your visit then we are more than happy to let Shiva, Loki, and Lilly out to play! We are always looking for ways to improve our Sniffspot to enhance the experience of our guests so if you have any recommendations then we would love to hear them!

My yard is a dogs paradise! It has so many smells of other dogs. The fence is mad out of deck board so it is very safe and secure! Come with some friends and dogs and enjoy the fire pit!

Beautiful fully fenced yard with patio area and WiFi access. We have dog toys, treats, and towels upon request and can even set up the sprinkler for your pooch! Enjoy the quiet space while your pup has a grand time!

Suburban area, large grassy yard fully fenced with furnished patio, baby pool and dog toys available in the yard. Water w/lead-free drinking safe hose and electric access is available.

Private, shady backyard with both grass and woods for your pup to explore. A haven for local wildlife there are so many scents for your dog to investigate. Our space is ideal for a game of fetch, tug or find-the-toy. Removed from the road but close to major throughways our home is a tranquil escape from the city. For our pet chaperones our space offers a table and chairs with a sun shade with access to an electric outlet if you want to sit with your computer while your dog plays. We also offer a hammock, camp chairs or an Adirondack chair if that is more your style. There are plenty of children’s play elements if you want to bring the little ones along.

Capitol Heights backyard for your furry friend. I love dogs and am happy to share my sniffy spots and such with your four legged canine!

Privacy fenced in large section of backyard. Located right by East Falls Metro. One driveway space will always be available for use. Lots of street parking after 5pm and on weekends. I dog sit as well and the dogs LOVE the back yard. Will never have both clients at the same time though. Your dog/ dogs will be the only ones here during your booking. Lots of trees so there's always both sun and shade depending on your preference. I've found it challenging to juggle setting up the sniff spot space on short notice so I'm trying out just offering the space and fewer amenities at a lower price. Chairs are available near the house if you'd like to take them into the sniffspot area. Just put any dog waste bags in the big black trash can in the driveway on your way out. A no frills spot if you just want a nice spot for your dog to run around in for an affordable price. The easiest way to figure out how to enter the sniffspot space is to enter through the driveway then turn left and enter the other wooden gate. The backyard area with the treehouse is not the sniffspot area as it is not as secure. Please do not unleash your dogs until they are secured in the sniffspot area.

Fur-Get Me Not is a leading daycare, boarding, and training facility in the area. We welcome the dog community to exercise and provide mental stimulation utilizing our facility when the dog training school is not actively in use. We work with many rescues and also reactive and fearful dogs. We understand the need to provide a safe play space for these dogs and happy to offer our facility as a stress-free option.

Great fenced location in a cul de sac! Large area with deck for guests to enjoy while watching their dogs roam free!

Plenty of space in our yard for pups to get their zoomies out! Little ones can also use the swing set, use the trampoline or shoot a few hoops (if they bring their own basketball)! There's a small bench for adults use and plenty of shade as well on hot days.

Does your pup crave a peaceful, wide-open space to roam and romp? Enjoy your very own private dog park at Hillside Haven! Safe and Secure: Fully fenced-in area ensures your furry friend can play freely without worry. Spacious Play Area: Let your dog burn off energy and enjoy some good old-fashioned zoomies. Open space for fetch and frisbee provides the perfect area for interactive games and bonding time. Bonus: an on-property playground keeps kids busy, too! Secluded Space with Stunning Views: Tucked in the back of a quiet neighborhood, you can enjoy year round scenic views of the woods surrounding Rock Creek just behind the property. Remember, safety is always a top priority. Ensure the gated entrance is secure and supervise your dog during playtime.

Fully enclosed fenced backyard. Lots of space to run and chase balls. Wide open. Lots of shade in the morning, full sun for a couple hours during the day, and scattered shade from neighboring trees in the late afternoon.  Pesticide-free and natural lawn care, maintained and mowed on a regular schedule. Soft plush grass that feels good on paws and feet. Bring a blanket to lie down on and have a picnic! I'll be getting two rocking chairs in a couple of weeks!

Beautiful two acre lot in the heart of Great Falls, VA. A welcoming place for you and your pups to run wild and feel the wind in their face! The property is fenced in, with the ability to close the gate when dogs are within the park. Parking available in the grass @ the front of lot. The “park” is still being developed so stay tuned for more “dog friendly fun” activities. As the weather warms up, we will provide water fun for the doggies, too!

8ac farmhouse property with plenty of options for your dogs to roam around and play. There's grassy areas and gravel spots to pick from. Very private, quiet, and tucked away in the back away from the main road. We don't have any pets, so yours will be the only ones on the property, and we're rarely home. Feel free to use the triple fenced garden area before we start growing anything. There is new home construction up at the top of the hill they have their own short black fencing around the homes, so just stay beyond the fence. Water pump and doggie bowls available outside near the front right side of the home in front of the outhouse. Trashcans are available at the side of the house across from the shed. There's a basketball hoop and 🏀 if interested in playing as well as some swings for kids closer to the house. Feel free to use it. Lastly, please use Google Maps for navigation instead of Waze as it's the most updated one for finding the property. PS- if you're ever running late or got lost and some of your paid time is used please feel free to stay a little longer to make up for it if no one else is booked immediately after you.

*We're on Instagram @Kinneys_Sniffspot * *The lawn just got a fresh cut as of 5/3. It looks great, so come on by and check it out!* We have somewhere between a third to a half acre in our backyard, fully enclosed with a 5 to 7-ft wood fence. We have shady spots, but there also aren't too many trees, so there is plenty of room to play fetch and run around. Amenities include two different size jumps, a balance beam, a slide, a spring-loaded tug rope attached to a tree, a little patio table if you'd like to sit down, a hammock, and a trampoline. With the slide, not every dog can manage to get up it, so please just use your judgment and be safe 😁.

Beautiful yard in Arlington Heights with patio table and seating. Dog bowls with water are on the patio. More water is available from the hose by the side door (April-Oct).

This is a 4.93 acre property that is located in right across the street from the MD sunrise corn maze. The property is half field and half woods. There’s a path that accesses the woods in the back right of the property and you can follow it through all the way to the quiet neighborhood of dairy farm estates where you can walk your dog/dogs also. Please use the path and do not cut through neighbors yards. Depending on weather the middle of the property can get pretty wet so please be cautious.

Designated parking in a large fenced-in yard in Chevy Chase DC. Dog food, water bowls, toys, balls, and outdoor bedding provided. Your dog will have a blast at our place. Can provide additional items as needed-just send us a message! Due to our busy schedules we have a 24 hour notice for bookings for non-members, but we can be accommodating! Just send us a message and we will try to make it work!

Fully fenced, very private large yard; enter via private gate. Relax on sturdy table & chairs, while your dog romps and plays on lush, green grass. Dog toys; hand sanitizer; bug spray; night lights and fresh, cool water with clean bowls, etc. (See list of all our *free* amenities for you and your 🐶 to enjoy!!)

Located in a quiet area of the Benning Ridge neighborhood, just near Fort Dupont Park and the hiker / biker trails (a great place to walk), our big-for-DC fenced back yard is a great place to throw the ball with your pet, stop for a break, and have some nice dog play and space to relax in the city where there are not many dog parks nearby. We are a dog family, and have a smooth fox terrier in the house, and if you request the time to be completely private, we will make sure he stays inside! But don't be surprised if he's staring out the window!

Peaceful area located at the base of Sugarloaf Mountain in MD’s Agricultural Reserve. Owned/operated by former Cape May, NJ PD ACI (Animal Cruelty Investigator). Many maintained trails. Spectacular views!

Large, fully fenced yard with several mature trees that provide plenty of shade. The yard backs to a wooded area that sometimes has animals walking by (deer and fox.)

Large backyard with gate access from a parking area. 6-5 foot fence surrounding area. Shaded spots and full sun available. Seating for human guests. Access to water hose.

Great space with new fence for your dog’s recreation. Inside parking spaces for your convenience. Toy for the dogs, canopy and furniture for guests. Beautiful lights for you to stay longer at night.

Large fenced in backyard. Open space to run and play. Patio with umbrella table and four swivel chairs. If the chairs are tipped up onto the table when you arrive, please feel free to put them back down on the patio. I tip them up, as the birds are active in that area, and I am trying to keep the chairs clean of bird poop. Two trees for shade. Various dog toys that are cleaned after each visit. A bag to put used/dirty toys in. A bug zapper with a light that hangs from the umbrella handle. It needs to be turned on and off with the rubber button tabs. I recharge it after visits. A kiddie pool as an extra (June - September). Lights for nighttime play! Please park in the street in front of the house. Enter through the gate on the right side of the house. If I have advance notice and I am home, I will leave a cold bowl of filtered water on the back steps. Bug spray, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, paper towels, dog treats, and a dog first aid kit are in the bin on the umbrella table.  If you bring your own bowl and I wasn’t able to leave one out, please feel free to use the hose and water from the spigot on the back of the house to the right of the sunroom behind the umbrella table. Please make sure you turn it off when you are finished. Water to that spigot will be winterized (turned off) once the temperature drops below 32° and will be de-winterized (turned on) in the spring when the temperatures warm up. There will always be a jug of fresh filtered water on the back steps for use. There is a garbage can with a plastic bag in it on the left side of the door to the shed for discarding your poop bags. Please knot your poop bags and make sure the lid is closed tight. The spigot on the right front of the shed is not potable but can be used for cleaning or cooling your dog down. The spigot tends to spray, so stand as far to the left as you can when turning it on if you don’t want to get wet! This system will be winterized (turned off) during the winter months. New toys will be added and rotated on a regular basis. Toys can be found in the plastic bin on the patio table. Please feel free to help yourself to what is in the bin, keeping in mind to leave some clean toys for the next guest in case I am not home to clean them in-between visits. Please place any toys that you used in the bag hanging on the umbrella handle so I know which ones need to be cleaned. After each use, I wash and sanitize each of the toys that were used. I just added a small bug zapper. The bug zapper is hanging from the handle of the umbrella. Push the ON switch to turn it on, and you will see a blue glow. There is also a button to turn a light on that gets brighter in three stages. This bug zapper needs to be charged, so when you leave, please remember to turn it off. Please try to keep your dog from walking into or laying in the decorative grass around the perimeter of the sunroom. In the Spring/Summer there will be an 18 inch high green metal fence in front of the back garden. Please try to keep your dog(s) from jumping the fence so that the flowers can grow and bloom for all of our enjoyment. The wooden bench in front of the garden recently became wobbly, and it may not be stable to sit on. I am looking into getting it fixed.  I am working on building a designated digging area and will notify guests as soon as it is complete. Please disregard any bare  spots in the grass. I am trying to dig out and get rid of the patches of crabgrass that has taken over the yard since opening Snoopy’s SniffSpot, due to not using any pesticides or chemicals for the safety of the dogs. These bare areas will be reseeded as soon as possible. I may end up putting short fences around the newly seeded areas in order to keep the spot open and keep the seeded areas able to grow. Thanks for your understanding about this.

Also added bonuses, no mud or slippery surfaces during or after rain, also dries quickly. Plus the playground chips are a natural tick repellent. A fresh thick layer of mulch added late April!
