55Excellent, good size, well fenced back yard for the dog to run. But It was a hot day so after a while had to keep him off the porch because he just wanted to go inside! :)Chuck Y.

55Nice, shaded backyard with ample space for the dogs to run around. I had a question for the homeowner and he responded quickly. There were mosquitoes (like every backyard in Virginia) right now so you may consider applying bug spray.Christy R.

55Such a great yard! So much space for the dogs to run. Like most of northern Virginia it can get a bit buggy in the summer. Just bring some bug spray to help combat the gnats. Caroline A.

55Great spot for my 3y pit mix to get out of the city and stretch her legs! She had a great time both running around and cooling off on the patio Gabrielle A.

55This was the second time bringing my pup Ben to this spot, and we enjoyed it even more than the first! The backyard is so well kept and large, even for my 70 lb guy who loves to chase balls. There are nice shade trees, so it doesn’t get too hot. The entry gate is a little tricky, so give it some patience - you’ll need both hands. This spot will be a regular for me and Ben! Christine B.

55Great, spacious yard with many different things to sniff. It was a little muddy, as described, since it rained all week. Bug spray would be a good idea. Great space overall!Kelsey M.

55Cash and Carter had a wonderful time! This is probably our favorite Sniff Spot so far. Plenty of room to run, clean and the yard was in great condition. They ran for an hour straight and are now sleeping so I’d say it was a successful visit!Stacie M.

FAQ about our Charles Town 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.
