55Should get 10 stars! I couldn’t find anything to complain about if I wanted to! The yard was a great size! Perfect enough for our Belgian Malinois to run and chase her ball! Ample room for our lab mix to run and play around. The pool was FANTASTIC! our Lab Mix, Rebel isn’t a fan of the water, but BOY DID REESE LOVE THE POOL! Once she learned where she could walk in/out of the pool, we had a hard time keeping her out of it… just like a child!
Both the pool and the yard were clean and very well kept. There were towels out for the pups, toys and water with bowls. It’s quite obvious this homeowner just absolutely loves dogs! Very warm and welcoming feeling from the moment you pull into the driveway with a personalized welcome sign when you enter the gate!
I would 100 out if 10 recommend!!!Randall T.

55The pool was in great condition and very clean! It had steps at the front and in the deep end where my dog could get out of the pool. They also had some water proof toys that we were able to use, but my dog will also just do laps because she loves swimming that much. She had a blast and I’m so glad we found this Sniffspot! Such a fun pool day!Autumn C.

55Top notch Sniffspot! My dogs loved exploring, sniffing, playing, and swimming. Even though I brought all my own stuff, I appreciated the thoughtfulness of amenities such as toys, drinking water, poop supplies, and towels. The yard was secure and felt very private. Would definitely visit again! Brianna K.

Beyond the aquatic adventures, the expansive grassy (real grass, not turf, no hot paws here!) area offers ample space for Layla to roam and explore. The vibrant green landscape is a dog's dream, filled with exciting scents and endless opportunities for games of fetch and chase. Layla eagerly darts across the open space, her tail wagging uncontrollably as she revels in the freedom provided by Shaggy's Shack.

FAQ about our Arlington dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Arlington?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
