55A beautiful and spacious yard! Lots of toys and plenty of water available. We came to let my dog run on her birthday and she left happy (and exhausted)! It was a bit buggy during our visit, but it was particularly warm and humid. A spritz of bug spray before going would do the trick. We’ll definitely be back. Caitlynn P.

55This was my first Sniffspot experience and couldn’t have been any better! The host was very responsive and even provided extra snacks for the humans as well. We had the best time celebrating our pups first birthday and the celebration add on was WORTH! 10/10 and seriously the best. Nicole K.

55Rocky and Bella’s place was fantastic. In spite of planning ahead we were terrified that we will have to cancel because of the hailstorm this afternoon. But, Ryan and Tonya have been super supportive and even offered to make out reservation time flexible. Thankfully everything worked out and my fur baby and his friends had an amazing time and a great birthday celebration!
The place for celebration was squeaky clean, well maintained and oh boy! The number of toys and treats available for the dogs, my dogs went bonkers playing and exploring the whole space

55One of our favorite spots.
Have booked this spot before but never late in the evening. When we arrived at 8:30 pm, we saw they had lit tiki torches, put out bug spray and water bottles for us, as well as some snacks and treats for the dogs. By far the most hospitable sniff spot we’ve been to!Robin M.

55My friend and I loved the yard, our dogs got all the energy out, we definitely recommend it and we will like to go back soon and it was easy to get Starbucks delivered while waiting for our dogs, BUT previous guest/s need to be mindful cleaning after their dogs. I personally picked up two other dogs potty.

55Pumpkin, my rescue pup, had sooooo much fun! The spot was so well equipped and had lots of space for the zoomies, and pumpkin found some new favorite toys. And thank you to the hosts for saving me the time slot for the next day when I accidentally booked the wrong date!Daisy L.

55Piper and I had a wonderful time playing in Prince's Private Dog Park. Lots of room to run and explore. There is a table to set personal items on and two chairs. There were also a few tennis balls and soccer balls to play with.
100% fenced in with a few dogs in the area, mostly not able to be seen, but could hear and sniff them.
There is a covered concrete culvert along the fencing near the back of the property. Piper (22lbs) could probably get in it with enough motivation (chasing a squirrel or rabbit - did not see any in the yard during our visit).
There is also a garden with some compost materials good for sniffing, but maybe not for dogs that will eat anything.
Piper and I will definitely be back to visit. Angela P.

FAQ about our Fairfax 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 Fairfax 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 275 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. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
