55What wonderful hospitality. Pool, fenced yard, lots of shade and toys, ice water for the dogs and ACCESS to a BATHROOM FOR ME!!! We loved our visit. There was some green algae in the pool but it didn't stop us from having a great time. Thank you for opening up your home.Bonnie P.

55Dawn's Sniffspot was perfect! Lots of room to run and play, very safe and secure, even lots of shade on a hot day. And the pool is a great feature. My dog hasn't been to a pool before so it took him a little while to figure it all out but he had a great time doing so. I hope to go back often so he becomes a true swimmer.Susan S.

55Our dogs had good time, this will be a repeat spot. The pool was nice, and the yard was secure and safe. There are other dogs in the house with some barking at the door, but only a problem if your dog has reactive issues with other dogs. Our dogs investigated the dogs in the house, barked back just a bit, but easily distracted back to the play.John D.

55My dog is obsessed with swimming (after he remembers he isn’t scared lol). He would have never left if I didn’t make him! Great spot to go and hang out with your pup nicole a.

55Great time! Loved the pool! Will be back. I mostly kept my dogs on leash because the partial main fence down due to tree which she wrote in description. Although there is another fence I didn’t want them going back there as there is a lot of brush. They’re tired so it was a success! Kristina J.

55We had a great visit! My dogs are not good with the summer heat so having someplace to go with a pool is a lifesaver. When we arrived we could hear a dog barking inside but once we were in the back yard we couldn’t hear any dogs. We will definitely be back!Genevieve K.

55The space was very quiet and peaceful and super shaded!! There was space to run and play and easy access getting into the pool for both pups and people. We had an absolute blast!! Im not sure about the fencing towards the back. There was lots of brush and trees that blocked it, but I would definitely check in with the host if you have a pup who loves to sniff around who may end up along the fence line! It could be really secure, I just couldn’t tell in some spots. I don’t have a dog who loves shuffling through the leaves to sniff so it wasn’t something I personally was concerned about but others might be. Overall, super great experience and we will be back! :)Katie S.

55Great spot. Plenty of parking, clean, fenced and private. Even though my dogs were water-shy with this being their first pool-encounter, they still had a wonderful time. Host was accommodating and I would recommend this spot to all dogs who love water and even ones who are new to it so they can experience something new and exciting! Marcus L.

55I’m sooo happy we found this spot! I have a reactive dog, and we don’t have our own yard, so we’ve been using sniffspot for a while. Our main 2 spots we go to are about a 40 minute drive from us (they’re the closest spots with the right fencing for my dog) but this spot is only a 6 minute drive!! Plus it is very clean, spacious, and pretty. We will definitely be coming back here often :)reese p.

55Paul has a beautiful, sunny yard in a lovely neighborhood. He met us when we arrived and showed us around. We just recently rescued our dog- she’s still reactive and nervous so unfortunately she didn’t really want to meet Paul, but he didn’t take it personally and left us to enjoy his space anyway 😄. She had a blast being able to be off leash and do some free range zoomies! We'll definitely be back!Janelle J.

55I live in the city and there are not many places to take my dogs off leash in a controlled environment because my one dog is reactive. This is my first Sniffspot. My dogs enjoyed themselves greatly. Paul has a great backyard for the dogs to run and play. Paul was not there, but did correspond with me to make sure everything was ok. We will definitely be back.Stephanie G.

FAQ about our Annapolis 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.
