55This snifspot is AMAZING!! The yard is secure and perfect for doggies. There are so many options for dog play.. from toys to frisbees, and wven a great pool for the pups to cool off in. It's well shaded so even on a warmer day, the yard is comfortable for dogs and people. They even had deer free, puppy safe bug spray availabe. There is even a poop scoop to clean up. This family has thought of everything!!! We will schedule regularly because its a great spot. My boys LOVE the giant dog pic on the back porch, so now I will be in search of that wonderful print for my 8 year olds room. this spot is SO WORTH IT!!!Stacey O.

55Great spot in a pretty neighborhood. Plenty of room to run and sniff. Lots of balls available with a kiddie pool and a trampoline. Several seating areas for the humans. There were several poop piles around, but other than that, it was great! We’ll be back!Melissa M.

55Great backyard for my two dogs to run around in. Lots of toys and a huge water bowl with a hose accessible for them. Host also said there’s a doggy pool for them to use. They provided bug spray for us which is a plus for summer nights. Definitely recommend this Sniffspot! YeYe T.

55Great spot for a couple of pups to wear themselves out. There was a toy box, which got emptied (and I hope completely refilled before we left), but the antler was the clear winner for my puppy and his sister. Nice big water bowl available with access to the water hose if it needs a refill, nice and shady if it's a warm day and the option of a gas-fueled firepit if it's cold. It was a pretty good drive for me, but my pup's sister's family was nearby, which is why we chose it. In short, a great time was had by all! Thanks, Susan!Samantha Q.

55Nice quiet back yard with room to throw a ball. Not a lot of distracting noises and the fence blocked any view of the neighborhood. Would definitely return. Janet R.

55Susan was very welcoming and friendly. Her yard was a nice size and there were toys for Itchy to play with. Unfortunately I had to cut our visit short, as Itchy is a rescue dog, and he has not yet become accustomed to new areas, therefore although he played for a very short while, it was evident he was ready to leave. I will try again at a later date.Kim L.

55My dogs loved it. They were so happy to be back in a yard after we moved to the area and currently in an apt. Easy to find, very clean and spacious for pups to sniff, walk, run, play. We will 100% be regulars as long as Vera is okay with that! Thank you, Vera!Priscilla Z.

55It was so much fun for us. We have a tiny muddy yard and two big bullies. They loved it. We loved it. The space was just enough for us. They left water out. The fences are tall and solid. Nothing for my goofy dogs to get into. We didn’t hear any other dogs or people, and they just got to play together.Talia G.

FAQ about our Herndon 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 Herndon 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 287 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
