55Blaze had a great time exploring all the scents around the property. Blaze and his friend Stella enjoyed running around all the trees and bushes. What a great experience on a Sunday morning. I would recommend giving the Acres a try, Your dog will have a great time. It was a nice walk around for our humans as well. Looking forward to giving the pond a try next time out.Tom H.

55Just wonderful .... best Sniffspot my boy Charlie and I have been to! Kathy's communication and organization are outstanding and I appreciate that she makes safety a priority. The huge area is lush and serene, with so many different kinds of walking/running/sniffing opportunities. Charlie is 12 and usually sticks fairly close to me at a Sniffspot, but at the Acres, he was like, "See ya, mom" and off he went, big smile on his face the whole time. Despite being worn out from his adventures on a warm day, he looked at me in dismay when he realized it was time to go. Oh, and it was nice to find a poop bag receptacle midway through our walk, so I didn't have to carry a bag all the way to the exit. Thank you, Kathy ... we'll be back and we'll try out the Pond spot as well! Donna S.

55This place is  absolutely amazing!  I have two bagels and they spent the entire time sniffing around and even then they still didn’t get to explore the entire property because it’s so large and it’s beautiful. There’s so many spots for them to smell if I’m going to take them back I think I need to book a 3 hour session because that’s how wonderful and big this place is!  If you love your dog, you will bring them here. Or to her other property, which includes a pond.  The entire property is clean, very well organized. She’s a wonderful person and I have never seen anything like this available for dogs before. It’s absolutely amazing!Priscilla D.

55The Acres is Bert's favorite place on the planet. I am not exaggerating. He is free to be a terrier and explore bushes and fields and trees. He runs in a way so free that even we humans rarely experience that state of joy. Kathy, I will never be able to thank you enough for sharing that space.Sherry R.

Kathy takes impeccable care of her property with dog families in mind. Plenty of spots to sit and enjoy the peaceful view… and several convenient waste bins throughout. This is a second home to our pup and we just love it!Kristin W.

FAQ about our Holtwood small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Holtwood?
There are 159 small dog parks in the Holtwood area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
