55So far, my dog’s favorite sniff spot yet! The creek really helped with the heat, and they were running nonstop for 40 minutes! Owner is super friendly and we can tell he really put in a lot of work to make the place better. We are very grateful that they opened up their place and we will definitely come back!Li D.

55Loved it just as much for our second visit! The creek was a welcomed spot on a hot day and the addition of the table, chairs and umbrella were awesome. Loowit and crew will be back, for sure! Rebecca A.

55What a wonderful place for our dogs! It was very easy to find and everything was superb! Our pups loved running through the cool creek and up the embankments. The area is surrounded by trees and quiet. A wonderful place to unwind and see the pups just run around! The host was an absolute delight and made sure we had everything we needed. There was water laid out for us and the pups! It was truly a beautiful experience. We can’t wait to book again!!! Well worth it!!!Estee R.

55My dogs absolutely LOVED this spot. The creek was gentle and easy to navigate for our 13 year old without getting swept away, while the grassy field was a blast for our active 6 year old to run. Will definitely have to visit again! abbey b.

55Dog paradise. This is such a perfect place to relax with your dog. There are three different enclosed areas. The first one is the gate leading to the host’s home. From there, you enter a second one which is a shaded grove of trees with chickens that are in their enclosure. And the third is the more open area area with the creek. It’s a perfect place to hang out with friends and dogs Ana A.

55Booked last minute to give our boys some running around time and Todd was very accommodating and kind! Communication with him was amazing and the area for the dogs was well maintained and park like. He has a nice shaded spot with an umbrella and picnic table which was nice to sit back and enjoy the joy of our dogs running in and out of the creek! Would recommend!Sharon A.

55The space was very private and a lot of fun for our pups. The landscape is well maintained and provides plenty of room to run carefree and play in the creek.
Water was provided for pets and people which we really appreciated and there’s a bird watching kit on the table (seats 4) so you can relax while the dogs explore.
We really enjoyed our time and will for sure be back again.
The owner is very nice and does a great job of making the space welcome for everyone.Reilly H.

FAQ about our Arlington dog beaches
Are dog beaches 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
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 dog beach 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?
No. We only allow one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits. So when you book a Sniffspot park you have the entire place to yourself and your dog-owning friends if you invite them. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings so you will not run into other park patrons when coming or leaving.
If you are planning an amazing dog beach 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.
