We have a wide variety of amenities for our guests as well! We have water on site in the right side field, a poop station in field and parking lot, bathroom on site and amazing views.

While this treatment is animal friendly, please enter at your own risk. 🛑 READ: If you want to use the pond during your visit, ALL DOGS must be on a long line while swimming.

LONG LINES ARE REQUIRED!

    My dog was more excited to see the goats and chickens. My husband enjoyed the space but unfortunately Bandit our 3 year old Belgian Mal does not fetch so he was fixated on the livestock outside the gates. SMH. I appreciated the fresh water and poop station for easy clean up!

    Beautiful spot!

  • Samantha C., May 30, 2023

    This was our first ever Sniff Spot experience and the only way it could have possibly gone any better is if Gus hadn’t been so obsessed with the two adorable Pygmy Goats and took more time to enjoy the incredible amenities! Stunning location and the short drive from our townhome in Crofton had Gus smiling out the window smelling horses and cows the whole way. My husband and I had a great time throwing the frisbee and other toys that the host has on hand and we truly felt like we were in our own beautiful farm oasis! Exceptionally clean and well manicured, peaceful, lots of shade, great fencing and tons of room to run. We hope to schedule another visit with several other dog owners from our townhome community so we can have a pack hour which will help distract Gus. He’s been around other goats and farm animals before but never wanted to play and love on them as much as he did those two little guys. It really was sweet to watch. Excited to utilize the full hour next time! Only other comment I have is that there was a drone present that seemed to be scanning the property (possibly for safety reasons or to confirm visitors identifies which makes complete sense) but regardless, it didn’t bother us at all and only went by/hovered for a few minutes.

    Host replied: Hey Samantha! Thank you so much for leaving such an awesome review! We wanted to apologize for the drone! Our friend who runs the NYFD Robotics Unit was doing a demonstration for our family members who have never seen one up close. No pictures or videos were taken! We can’t wait to see y’all back with more friends and dogs (and we promise there won’t be a drone that time)!

    Fence in good condition all around the property, clean, good signage, good gravel road. Will definitely use this location again.

  • Sarah G., May 25, 2023

    Great huge space for the pups to run. Very clean and the lawn was cut. Water and buckets were available, but our pups had a hard time drinking from that. I would suggest bringing your own bowl to fill with water. I personally enjoyed the small hill and running up and down with the pups…great workout for everyone!

  • Kelly D., May 21, 2023

    Awesome spot! Lots of animal noises but that was totally fine for my dog!

  • Zachary B., May 14, 2023

    A great place to let your pups run around. We took our own toys but they have a ton of balls and chuck-it tossers for you to use. We will definitely be back!

  • Emily W., May 14, 2023

    Excellent spot! Very secure and large. Both shaded and sunny areas. One of my dogs was obsessed with the goats and chickens but still checked out every inch. The hose, buckets and poop station were so convenient.

  • Sara M., May 14, 2023

    Great place. Pups are looking forward to their next visit.

  • Donna M., May 14, 2023

    This was the first Sniffspot that my pup and I visited so I wasn't sure what to expect. I also didn't have much of a sense of how large the identified space was so had some rather outsized expectations. The space was fine and as advertised, with water and lots of toys. I probably would come back if I brought another dog mine could play with as it's a good space for chasing. Westley's favorite feature of the space though was the goats that were penned outside. I had to drag him away and I fear he has given his heart to one of them. He mourned as we drove away.

Meet your host

Hey Dog Fam! My name is Krys Rackley and I am the owner of the professional Dog Training Company, American K9! We purchased this property for the love of dogs! We welcome you to come and enjoy a little slice of our doggy oasis! We have so much planned for this AmericanK9 Dog Ranch and hope to meet more dog lovin’ people through this App! Pastures are fully fenced. We are currently in the works of adding wooded trails, fencing in an additional 7 acre pasture, cleaning the pond to add dock diving, and so much more! We host many dog friendly events so check out our American K9 Dog Ranch Facebook page! Thanks for checking out our page! Hope to see you soon!

Urban Oasis - Astroturf play and agility space (no muddy paws ever)

Over 4200 square feet of Astroturf play area conveniently located adjacent to the BWI airport (less than a 5 min Uber ride away). The yard is surrounded by wooden privacy fencing so your pups can focus on playing! Astroturf provides a soft, plush, clean surface so even wet dogs don’t get dirty during their stay (perfect if you’re waiting on a flight or traveling with your pup). Covered sitting area to keep guests shaded. Space is equipped with agility equipment including an a-frame, adjustable jump, tunnel, agility stakes, and back tie. The space also has various toys on the ground, kiddie pools/dog activated water fountain/hose in the summer to keep dogs cool . If coordinated in advance (and with owner supervision) you can even use the slat mill for an extra physical challenge. If you’re bringing a young puppy out please message us directly so we can put out the ball pit. The space is equipped to be used in the dark and has many solar motion activated lights along the fence, solar lights on the pergola, and a lit walkway leading up to the gate. The best travel companion is a happy/tired pet. As the weather gets nicer you may see some neighbors on your way in and may hear them while in the yard. You may also hear the normal neighborhood noises and the occasional cluck of a chicken. No dogs live in the yards adjacent to the fence so you rarely hear barking; however, we occasionally take in reactive board and trains. In the extremely rare case one of our houseguests barks and disturbs your peace during the visit let us know and we will make it right. On most hot days the turf gets warm in direct sunlight. Typically we will spray it down between guests if we are home. However, please check the turf intermittently and spray down as desired. The turf has an infill that causes significant evaporative cooling once its sprayed down. The small red cooler typically has water for the humans! Please help yourselves! Please no smoking 🚭 anywhere on the property. Cigarettes could damage our turf (extremely expensive to fix) and poison dogs. Sometimes organic debris blows off trees and into the yard. We regularly clean up leaves etc when it’s nice, but we can’t when it’s raining. If wet leaves/maple seeds aren’t your thing- no problem! We’d love to host you when the weather dries up🙂
