55So far, this is the best Sniffspot I’ve been to! Very large backyard tons of space for my dog to run full speed… No dangerous areas or spots where I have to worry about him getting all in poison ivy or snake holes, etc. It was very clean and we enjoyed it immensely… We will definitely be coming back to this oneJayme G.

55Great large/clean yard! Our Golden, Apollo had a fun time running around and playing with the toys that were provided. There’s lots of sun and some shady spots under the trees too. Will definitely be back to teach him how to use the agility equipment! Hannah M.

55Charlie and her doodles were great hosts! Her dogs are very well trained but also playful. They were very tolerant of my over-eager 4-m.o. pup, but really they just wanted to RUN! The space is huge and flat, and they're making improvements all the time. There is no lack of toys to play with - seriously a huge variety! - but my pup was more interested in chasing her dogs.
Charlie made it clear that the space comes with it without her dogs, I just need to message her with my expectations. Great visit - so glad we found them!Alan S.

55Beautiful, large, secure yard with lots of extras! Plenty of room for fetch if your pup is into that. My pup is a senior guy & not super playful. We enjoyed lots of sniffs, potty time and lounged in the shade & clover. Super easy parking and access. Communicative and helpful host. Great Sniff Spot! Jennifer M.

55A wonderful space for dogs to run, place, and sniff. The pool was cleaned and filled prior to our arrival. The yard is free from chemicals and pesticides, which is a major plus; a nautical yard is so much better for our dogs, and there was everything I could possibly need for my time there. 10/10 would recommend and I’ll be back again.

55Wonderful amenities for dogs and humans alike! Nice big yard. My girls had a great time!
Notes: Be careful with the gate — it’s hard to fully close from the inside. And there was also a decent amount of rabbit poop among the clover (not the host’s fault - it’s bunny season!) so just heads up if your dog likes eating those little turds as much as mine do 🙄Kelsey S.

55This is a wonderful place for people and their pups. The yard is big with both shady and sunny areas and the fence is tall and secure. There are many amenities provided: water for pups and human; balls and chucker; a pool for the dogs; and some agility training items. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. We plan to return!

FAQ about our Goochland 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Goochland 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 126 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 22 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.
