55Fantastic experience! Beautiful home and yard. Owners put out ability training equipment for us upon request. Our dogs had too much fun, though, running around in all that space. So wide and open with a pond that our dogs loved. Owners were very nice and put out a large water bowl and we had hose access to fill the bowl. Doggy trash bin there to put doggy bags when we picked up after them. we had four young dogs and a senior dog with mobility issues, but she also enjoyed being outside and could lie down and rest and enjoy the sights, smells, amd sounds as our other dogs ran and explored to their hearts content! We will definitely put this place on our list of favorite places and plan to return again in the future! Wonderful for the dogs and for us!CJ N.

55Massive property with a pond in the back great for swimming. Brought my lab puppy for some retriever training and she had a blast. Host was very welcoming and had water, a hose, and a drying station all laid out upon arrival. Highly recommend!Tom O.

55Great spot, well maintained. Horse farm on adjacent property. Pond was frozen over today but my Chessie still wanted to swim. Owner came out to greet us on arrival, very friendly. I now have an exhausted puppy.Jim C.

55Awesome sniffspot! It's not often that you get to hang out at your own private pond. The host provided a ton of great amenities like clean towels and toys too. Only watch-out is the field is next to a horse paddock, which our dog kept sneaking into. We anticipated this though and brought a 50-ft leash to keep her contained. All in all would highly recommend! Kate S.

55This backyard was perfect for our active but shy puppy. There was a large rectangular grassy area for him to run around and play fetch. It was also nice that there was a patio with a table, chairs, and umbrella so that we could cool down in the shade if needed. Christina S.

55So nice and so clean, it’s a really huge area and the parking is very convenient. They don’t provide toys or water so just make sure if your pup is a toy chaser that you bring them their little toys. And for the humans don’t forget your bug spray! So great would deff come here againDiana A.

55Took my 1 year old Golden there for the first time and she had such a blast!! I don’t have a big yard and the park next to me requires her to be on a leash which can be frustrating for her. I was so happy to see Mia run free in this well-kept area. We truly loved it!Guisela C.

55Big spacious yard, very clean. Nice spacious patio and chairs to sit in.
Note you could hear one of the dogs barking from inside the house so if your dog is super reactive it may not be the best fit but ours did fine after getting over their initial fright (they’re toy breeds at -7lbs so babies) and had fun playing and running around the yard. Elyse G.

55Beautiful, well kept Sniffspot!! The dogs had a lot of fun! However, there is a spot right next to the gate where you come in where the bar spacing is a bit wider and my 27 lb terrier mix was able to sneak out! So better for bigger dogs at the moment!Sophie M.

FAQ about our Front Royal 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 Front Royal 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 79 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 21 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.
