55Kathy is absolutely wonderful! This was my 2nd time there, but I have a new lab puppy that I brought. Kathy provided a life jacket for her since she does not yet know how to swim. She cares about the safety of the pups and their humans while on the property. The property itself is gorgeous! Completely fenced with a pond if you have pups that like to swim. There are benches placed around the pond, a picnic table, and chairs. There are some tennis balls and a larger ball available if you don't bring your own toys. The property is clean and peaceful. The best thing for me is no other dogs during the time you book. 10/10 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Tina S.

55This was our first visit with our Newfie. He absolutely loved the pond and running around chasing his ball. The spot was very well kept and clean. Safely fenced for our 120 lb Newfie. Would highly recommend if your dog is an avid swimmer!Deanna B.

55The pond is heaven for my dogs! Freedom to roam, sniff, splash, and play off leash. This is our second time and we will definitely be back. So great for a dog party, too🙌🏼 Susan L.

55First time at the pond since the expansion. Just beautiful. Our pup had a great time running around like a nut. Really liked the stream and grown out area. Our Mabel especially enjoyed exploring there. Can’t say enough positive things about Kathy’s spotsPedro F.

55Our first visit to The Pond and our lab was super happy. Kathy was very helpful and explained how to secure the gate and helpful tips for our visit. The property fence is very secure, and we felt comfortable with all the safety features at her space. Our dog swam in the pond even on this cold day! Karen B.

55WOW! What a cool spot! We booked the 5 acre space with the pond. The pond itself is probably 3.5 to 4 acres! But you can walk all the way around the pond. And / or your pup can run laps around the pond, which is exactly what Ruby did! The plot is rather flat. I could keep visual contact with my pup at all times, which I really like. Super secure fencing. Host came out to meet and was very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about dogs! It’s a long drive for us and worth the trip. Highly recommend this lovelySniffSpot!Janet H.

55This sniffspot is AMAZING!! So much open space to roam and wander and the perimeter of the pond is of great interest to my curious pups. I feel so fortunate to live close to this wonderful place. The host is quick to respond and was just a text away and was super helpful when we needed her but otherwise gave us our privacy.elizabeth K.

FAQ about our Holtwood 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Holtwood 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 241 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 38 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.
