Hello fellow pet parents! We have a total of three lush green acres available for your beloved pet friends to explore. The space is fully-fenced. Our fence is a 3.5 foot high cattle fence with wire mesh. The entrance to our spot is a large metal swing gate. The spot has cut short-grass. There are lots of deer among other animals in the area so your dog can have their own sniffing adventure! No need to worry if your dog is reactive because these animals usually keep their distance. We have digging areas and poop bags. We also have some wood planks that could possibly be used for agility jumps (See pictures). You can enjoy a chill hangout at the picnic table, or just relax on the lawn chairs while watching your pup. Enjoy a cup of coffee, soft drink or h2o while your lovely pet is enjoying their free time. Wet wipes, hand sanitizer, sunscreen, paper towels and a trash can will be provided as well. The area is quite tranquil; you can enjoy birds chirping or even meditate. Portable lawn chairs are also accessible. It’s a perfect place to take some time off from daily life struggles and relax; both for you and your furry friend! Shady spots are available during any time of the day if you don’t like to be under the sun. We would love to see your furry friends enjoying our yard. Please feel free to share their pictures at the spot! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out!

Domino's Digs

Welcome to our yard… and home to our “$10 guarantee.” We love our animals above all else and want to make sure everyone can afford to have a large, safe place for their pups to run and play. That’s why, despite our overwhelming growth in popularity over the past year, we pledge to all our visitors that we won’t raise the price above $10. This is a very large fenced yard behind a single family home close to the end of a cul de sac. Back of yard is up against a small stream and a tree line. There is a small grassy trench that runs part of the yard so be careful if running with your dog! If you share a post or story of your dog(s) using our space to your Instagram, feel free to tag us @dominoandfosters and/or use the “Domino’s Digs” location tag! We love seeing pics of happy pups.

55We had a really fun time this was a very discreet backyard that is situated on a hill which my pitbull loved. We brought our own ball but he liked the ball she left out for him better (So much exercise) I did not bring my small dog on this visit but the hill is not so big that she would have had any issues. And the fence would not have been an issue for my chihuahua but there is safe chicken wire that ensures she wouldn’t get out. A very spacious clean space with easy self access and easy parking. The little patio area was perfect and out of direct sun also the backyard was against a set of trees on the other side of the fence which also helps for really sunny days. Phantom looooved it there overall plenty of water in the dog bowl with an extra bottle of water and a Gatorade in an insulated bag that she set out on the table. She also left a snack (for me) and a treat stick for phantom which he happily enjoyed in the last stretch of our visit after he tired out. These little touches always make the difference for us because it really helps me feel like I am actually doing something special for my dogs and they really deserve that! We felt so welcomed. Thanks again for sharing your space we will be back 😊

55This was a nice private location. Gate was secure all the way around. Stephanie left out water and even included two treats for my boys that they really enjoyed once they were tired out from running. There was some cool birds in the surrounding trees and some frogs I saw too which was neat.It might be important to note that this yard is on a bit of an incline, but my boys didn’t mind at all. Would recommend!

55This sniff spot was our first and what a lovely way for two lab pups to have their meet and greet! The yard is very well kept and on a pretty hillside. It has three levels that make nice run patterns. We have an energetic 8 month pup so the uphill running was a great way to exude extra energy. The patio is nice and we appreciated the convenient water on a hot day. Thank you, Stephanie, for a lovely first visit! :)

55This is the most amazing Sniffspot I have ever seen! They have an entire covered area outside that’s heated has a big screen TV Wi-Fi, a fireplace, two couches, blankets, and pillows so that you can relax while your dog plays! Perfect for when it’s cold, rainy,  or just for any reason!  Free Wi-Fi all of the premium channels you could ever want, blankets, drinks for pups and humans, they even have a bathroom you can use.  I have been to about 80 sniff spots and I have never seen anything like this. It is amazing. It’s amazing for the dogs and it’s amazing for the humans!  The yard is quite large, at least .75 of an acre with a huge area for dogs to run and lots of places for them to sniff and lots of little animals for them to find it’s great! They also have an outdoor fireplace and they will give you wood if you want to start a fire with outdoor seating as well! Very clean, well-maintained yard with just enough stuff for dogs to love and smell and find little critters. Did I mention that they have a fully heated area outside with a big screen, TV, Wi-Fi, a fireplace, blankets, two couches pillows, drinks and music for humans and dogs to enjoy!  You can come watch the football game while your dog plays. Honestly, I’ve never seen anything like it. And I think it’s such an amazing idea and you should definitely try this place.

55What a fantastic set up!! Great yard for our 3 dogs and a “green house” with sofas, heaters, and TV with WiFi. There is also a stocked mini fridge, snacks, and fans (when it’s warmer), candles. It’s started to snow (unexpectedly) the day we went so it was soooo cozy warm inside. Karen messaged with me to make sure our stay was good and if we needed anything. Awesome host and awesome spot— we will be back!!

55Very nice experience. There is a nice open space for zoomies, and great shade for warm days. Host provided a little greenhouse shelter area which was appreciated. If your dog has reactivity difficulties, there are neighbor dogs that will vocalize and engage at their side of the fence, but it is not on a shared fenceline(about 3ft between) and the way the yard is set up, there is space to create good distance and lessen the trigger. Very good experience for us!

55What a cute little spot!! Fully fenced, well maintained grass, safe and quiet. The drive through the neighborhood is gorgeous as well. Water was fresh and cold for the pups! Best part was the parking. You can drive right up to the gate and let your pups in and out with ease! Highly recommend and will definitely come back if I’m in the area again 😊

55Gracious host. Beautiful shaded yard. Was worried it was too hot a day, but because of the shade, it felt very comfortable. My dogs loved sniffing around the wooded lot. Host had water out for the dogs which they used. Although I do live 20 miles away, I will come back as often as I can.

55Had my first visit here on a warm morning and it was such a treat. So much shade which is a major perk with my large, double coated dogs who don’t tolerate heat well. And the host left out two water bowls and a large insulated jug of cool water.

55Awesome SniffSpot! Great location, beautiful scenery. Quiet except for the singing birds. Lots of seating options. As written in the description, a very small dog could fit through the slats below the deck. One of my pups managed to do this while I wasn’t looking, lol. But only very small/slim dogs who are a little naughty like mine would be able to do that, haha. Description on SniffSpot was accurate and communication was great! We look forward to coming back!

FAQ about our Bel Air dog parks

Are dog parks safe for my dog?

Public dog parks can be a great way for your dog to socialize and exercise, but just like any public space, there is a potential for some risks. It's important to research the dog park before you go, as not all parks are created equal. For example, some may have inadequate fencing or have areas that can be dangerous for your pup. However, in general, public dog parks are safe as long as you take the necessary precautions. You should always supervise your dog and be aware of their interactions with other dogs. Additionally, make sure your dog is up to date on all vaccinations to protect them from potential diseases. Bel Air, MD can get quite hot in the summer, so be sure to bring plenty of water to keep your dog hydrated.

Private dog parks, where only one booking is allowed at a time, can be an excellent option for owners who want to avoid unpredictable dog interactions. With no other dogs around, you can be sure that your pet is safe. These types of parks may offer indoor, outdoor or swimming options, depending on the facility. They can be especially helpful for dogs that may have anxiety or fear of other dogs, or for those that need more individual attention. Because there is typically only one booking at a time, the park can be customized to meet the needs of your individual dog. This can also be a great opportunity for one-on-one training with your pup. In Bel Air, MD, a private dog park with indoor options can be especially helpful during the hot summer months.

What are the benefits of taking my dog to a dog park?

Public Dog Parks:
Dog parks offer a lot of benefits for both dogs and their owners. Public dog parks are a great place for dogs to socialize and interact with other dogs. It provides an opportunity for dogs to learn to communicate with other dogs and to develop social skills. Moreover, dog parks offer a safe and secure environment for dogs to exercise and play. Dogs can run and play off-leash in a secure space without the risk of getting lost or hit by a car. Additionally, dog parks are a great place for owners to meet and socialize with other dog owners. It's a great place to make friends and to network with people who share the same interests. In Bel Air, MD, where the weather can get really hot in the summer, public dog parks can provide a shaded area for dogs to relax and cool down.

Private Dog Parks:
Private dog parks offer a different set of benefits for dogs and their owners. With private dog parks, dogs can have the entire space to themselves, without the risk of encountering other unpredictable dogs. This provides a great opportunity for owners to bond with their dogs and to have some quality one-on-one time with them. Additionally, private dog parks offer more flexibility in terms of scheduling and can be booked for exclusive use. This allows owners to control the environment and to ensure that their dogs are safe and secure. Private dog parks in Bel Air, MD can provide indoor or outdoor options, which can be especially beneficial during extreme weather conditions. Some private dog parks even offer swimming options, which can be a great way for dogs to cool down and to get some low-impact exercise.

How can I prepare my dog for a visit to the dog park?

Public dog parks can be a great place for dogs to socialize, exercise, and have fun, but it's important to prepare your dog for a visit. Before heading to the park, make sure your dog is up-to-date on all necessary vaccinations and is wearing appropriate identification tags. Start by taking your dog on regular walks to help them build up their stamina and get used to walking on a leash. Once your dog is comfortable on a leash, try taking them to a smaller, quieter dog park to help them get used to being around other dogs. When you feel your dog is ready for a bigger park, bring plenty of water, a leash, and some treats to encourage good behavior. Always keep an eye on your dog and be prepared to leave if your dog seems uncomfortable or if there are any aggressive dogs at the park.

Private dog parks offer a more controlled environment for dogs to play and exercise. To prepare your dog for a visit to a private dog park, start by familiarizing them with the car ride to the park location. Once you arrive, take your dog around the park on a leash to help them get used to the sights and smells. Next, introduce your dog to the play area, keeping them on a leash until they are comfortable. Once your dog seems relaxed, let them off the leash and supervise them closely. Encourage your dog to play and have fun, but be prepared to intervene if necessary. Bring plenty of water and some toys to help keep your dog entertained. If your dog shows any signs of aggression towards other dogs, it may be best to avoid private dog parks altogether. Remember, always prioritize your dog's safety and well-being when visiting any dog park.

What should I bring with me when visiting a dog park?

When visiting a public dog park in Bel Air, MD, it is important to bring a few essential items. First and foremost, bring plenty of water for both you and your furry friend. It can get really hot in Bel Air during the summer months, and staying hydrated is crucial. Additionally, bringing a collapsible water dish is a good idea, as it will make it easier for your dog to drink. Don't forget to bring some waste bags to clean up after your pup, and maybe even a towel to wipe them down if they get muddy or wet.

If you're heading to a private dog park in Bel Air, MD, the items you'll need to bring will depend on the specific amenities available. If the park has an indoor area, consider bringing a toy or two that you and your dog can play with indoors. If there's a swimming option, bring a towel and maybe even a life jacket for your dog if they're not a strong swimmer. Since private dog parks only allow one booking at a time, you won't need to worry about unpredictable dog interactions. However, it's still a good idea to bring waste bags to clean up after your pup and plenty of water to keep them hydrated.

Are there any risks associated with visiting dog parks?

Visiting public dog parks can be a fun and enjoyable experience for dogs and their owners alike. However, there are certain risks associated with visiting public dog parks. Firstly, dogs can contract various diseases such as kennel cough, parvovirus, and distemper. These diseases can spread easily among dogs who come into contact with each other at the park. Secondly, dogs can also get into fights and sustain injuries. This can be due to a variety of factors such as resource guarding, territorial behavior, or fear and anxiety. Additionally, the hot and humid summers in Bel Air, MD can be dangerous for dogs who may suffer from heat stroke or dehydration while playing in the park.

Private dog parks can offer a safe and controlled environment for dogs to play and exercise. Unlike public dog parks, private dog parks only allow one booking at a time, which means there are no unpredictable dog interactions. Additionally, private dog parks may have indoor, outdoor, or swimming options which can be especially beneficial in hot weather conditions. Since the park is only open to one dog at a time, there are no risks associated with dogs contracting diseases or getting into fights with other dogs. This can provide peace of mind to pet owners who are concerned about their dog's safety. In Bel Air, MD, where summers can get hot, private dog parks may offer a cooler and more comfortable environment for dogs to play in.

What signs should I look for to ensure my dog is enjoying their time at the park?

Public dog parks are an excellent place for dogs to socialize and have fun. Signs that your dog is enjoying their time at the park include wagging their tail, interacting with other dogs, and playing games with their owner. If your dog is happy, you'll see them running around, sniffing new smells, and exploring the park. A content dog will be friendly and social with other dogs and may even initiate play. Additionally, if your dog is calm and relaxed after leaving the park, it is a good sign that they had a positive experience. When visiting public dog parks in Bel Air, MD during the summer, be sure to watch for signs of overheating, such as excessive panting or lethargy. Carry water and allow your dog to rest in the shade to avoid heat-related illnesses.

How often should I take my dog to the dog park for socialization and exercise?

It's important to remember that every dog is unique and will have different exercise and socialization requirements. Public dog parks can be a great way to socialize your dog and give them a chance to burn off some energy. However, it's important to consider the weather in Bel Air, MD, especially during the hot summer months. If it's particularly hot outside, it may be best to limit your dog's time at the park or avoid going altogether. In general, taking your dog to a public dog park a few times a week can be a great way to help them stay active and social.

Private dog parks can offer a different experience for you and your dog. With no other dogs around, you have the freedom to let your dog run and play without worrying about unpredictable dog interactions. Private dog parks may also offer additional amenities, such as indoor or outdoor options, or even swimming pools. While the cost of booking a private dog park may be higher than going to a public park, the added peace of mind can be worth it for some owners. Ultimately, the decision of how often to take your dog to a private dog park depends on your individual dog's needs and your preferences as an owner.
