55Not just a backyard, it’s a destination! Nice sitting area, toys, water etc. I love this place. Large enough for dog training or just play. Thank you host for providing us with such a great spot! Danielle I.

55The backyard was awesome and my dog loved it! There was water available and poop bags (which was great because I forgot to bring one). We will definitely be back! Hopefully we can have a playdate next time. Nadji K.

55Great yard! Loved the turf. My pup is very social with people and dogs and was really fascinated by going inside, he may have heard the people/dogs in the house 😊 Just a heads up if you have a pup with fomo.Sarah D.

55A great, tidy, secure spot for our big guy to sniff around! We were very happy to avoid mud and let him stretch his legs a bit! Nice to have access to some extra toys, water and a place to dispose of waste!Christian T.

55Great place to bring my pup! Hes a pretty curious dog so he did wander to other areas rather than play but if your pups likes open space and want to give him some exercise, this is the place! Easy to get to and entrance is labeled so there is no confusion. Thanks!!Richard C.

55This is my first time using sniff spot. I drove from DC because of the turf yard. The directions are clear and easy to follow. The owner came out and turned on lights because it got dark so quickly. She was SO incredibly kind!!! The yard is spacious, clean and worth the drive for us! I have a lab and boxer (so much energy) they both laid on the ground tired before our hour was even up. It was amazing and I’m so thankful for this spot. We will be back!!! You’re great! Kelli H.

FAQ about our Alexandria 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Alexandria 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 305 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 58 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
