55The Pond is just a little slice of heaven! My dog Athena loved the open space. After a little hesitatation she even ran through the pond and chased her ball into the water. Great place and have already recommended it to others. Laurie L.

55Loved the pond. We have been to the acres, but this was our first time at the pond and the dogs loved it! Our hounds don’t love to swim but they do like wading in water and spent probably half the time in the pond, if not more. The pond is huge, but with 10 acres still plenty of space for them to run, and find shade. The property is very well maintained and clean. Lots of clean of spots to dispose of dog poop. She even provides hand sanitizer, and dog wipes at the front gate. I only wish we lived a little closer so we could bring them more often! Sara C.

55We visited the pond a couple years ago and fell in love with it. We finally made it back today and the upgrades are tremendous. Due to the heat we stayed pretty close to the pond but can’t wait to get back when it’s cooler to explore more. Kelly D.

55Our two dogs had the time of their lives, romping and running, exploring every part of the entire 5 fenced-in acres. Truly an awesome place to take your dogs. Remember to take along water and a traveling dog water dish with you. One of our dogs drank from the pond, but the other was fearful to approach the pond. You’ll get a great exercise walking around the pond with your dogs and following them over to the wide-open field. The host is very helpful and responsive. Will definitely visit again! Vicky N.

FAQ about our Holtwood 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Holtwood 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 276 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 37 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.
