55This was my first Sniff Spot experience and this place set the bar really high for any that follow! The welcome email was really helpful and gave all the info we needed to get in and enjoy ourselves. I took my Whippet pup and senior beagle X. My sister brought her senior Doodle X. The fenced area is huge, so my whippet could fully open up! My old boy had a great time sniffing everything, doing as much running as he wanted, and lounging on the agility/parkour equipment. The other 2 ran and played for the full hour- that is, when they weren't being dressed up in costume at the "photo booth"! So fun for the humans....
The site is well-appointed- bins of toys, bowls, and towels are under the shade tent and there are a couple of chairs & a table for your use. There is a well-pump near the barn/shed but we'd brought our own water and bowl, so I didn't look for or use it.
I highly recommend this spot. We will definitely be back. My pups had such a great time, each able to set their own pace, the joy was very clear in their faces. I could almost cry! They're contentedly napping.. Thank you SO MUCH for creating and sharing such a special space, Karen!Heidi H.

55Great wooded area. Convenient and easy to access and low touch is good for user and owner. They were great...flexible. My pup loved the hike so much we didn't even go to our 2nd one we'd lined up for the day. Great hills and enough area to steal clear of neighbors likely property lines.Scott Family Clan V.

55Exactly as described, a large open field that is fully fenced. Fence in great condition, clean environment for my babies to play. Neighbor dog was not a nuisance at all, and was far enough away to not distract from my playtime. Denise W.

55Zeus and Neli (“Bean”) had so much fun!! Zeus has a blast playing in the kiddie pool and running up and down the hill. Bean met the hosts’ cat and was doing well until her little brother Zeus came running over 🤣 the hosts were so sweet and generous. They made the fence EXTRA secure while we were there. We even got to meet the hosts’ beautiful dogs for a bit. We can’t wait to go back!! Young S.

55Awesome spot for our one year old lab to burn off some energy. He was good for about ten minutes before he was pooped! 🤣 Lots of green space to run and play fetch. We didn’t get to use the baby pool but it was there for use along with other goodies. Will def be back! Nicole T.

55Excellent yard and space for our dog to run around. He loved playing fetch on the hill, that really tired him out!! The kiddie pool was a nice touch and our dog did not want to leave. We didn’t get to meet the owner, maybe next time. Melissa C.

55This was my dog’s very first visit to any sniffspot and the land was very well maintained and easy to find. The fencing was very secure and I liked the hanging hammocks for people. It had lots of space for Benji to explore and smell. We only ended up staying for 30 minutes instead of an hour because Benji kept whining at the owners back door. He really wanted to go inside and explore the house as well. Hahaha Benji and I will be back to this location. Erin C.

55Great location! Definitely hilly but large yard great for fetch! The dogs could almost play fetch by themselves by letting the ball role down the hill and going to retrieve it. Hannah N.

55Relaxing and fun! My dog was ecstatic to discover the small creek within the first 5 or so minutes of exploring the grounds. She has exceptional ability to gravitate to any source of water lol. Majority of our time was spent outside of the yard and it was so good for us to peacefully meander through open space and on trail in the woods. Spent very little time in the yard, which would have been very fun too. Have to say, from my out of shape perspective, that is quite a hill in the yard! Would have liked to do more fetch the ball up the hill to work my dog's back legs, as it is perfect incline. Do hope to return, especially when it is warmer for more water play.Lexie L.

55This spot truely is a haven, and a favorite for our two big dogs. It's got tons of fenced in space for the dogs to run, and right next to a little creek which is great for cooling of after some serious playing!Lu C.

55Really enjoyed this new spot with my two dogs! The fenced in yard was a great mix of sunny grassy areas and shade, with lots of spots for my dogs to enjoy exploring. A great deck area too which my dogs thoroughly enjoyed lounging on after they tired out from playing & running around the yard. I’ll definitely explore the additional acreage on their property next time! Note: My GPS was a bit off & said I was at the property about 1/2 a block too soon. There’s a row of mailboxes visible on main road & that’s where you turn to go all the way down long shared driveway & their property is at the end. Thanks Ana!Susanna P.

FAQ about our Mount Airy 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.
