55Very fun spot with tons of room to explore and lots of trails to hike and let our dog run through! Plenty of seating and picnic tables as well as trash cans which was super handy so I didn't have to carry a doggy bag throughout our hiking. All the fencing we saw was built well enough for our guy to decide it wasn't worth testing. The river area was a great detour on our way back as well and not deep or too fast moving to worry about our dog losing his footing or anything like that. Was able to work on recall training in a densely wooded area which we absolutely loved, and our guy did great. Our big guy really wanted to check out the goats but we made sure to keep him away since he seemed a little too excited. He's been around donkeys, horses, and chickens but never goats so those were a bit intriguing to him I'm sure, a much different scent than he's used to. 😅 The grounds were beautifully maintained and clean, and the views were amazing! We definitely plan to be back again, this sniffspot was awesome! 😎👍Cassie H.

55This was our first visit and we had a wonderful time. There was a sign welcoming us and treats waiting for us when we returned to the car which was such a special surprise. The trails were very clean and well maintained. The dogs loved running the trails and checking out the smells around the cabins. I enjoyed seeing the goats. We did several laps around the trails and spent a little time down by the creek as well. Nicole R.

55A completely wonderful spot. Grace was a very helpful host. We had no issues at all with our dog, who absolutely loved exploring all around the forest. We'd recommend this place 100%!Nik L.

55This was the most fun my dog has had at a sniff spot (and maybe ever). It was a very cool property,  we had no problems with the fence, but could see smaller dogs or a escape artist needing a close eye. Grace was a very kind and welcoming host. We will be back! :) Lauren S.

55Another incredible visit to this enchanted spot. My pup loves romping around in many of the streams and creeks. Ample space for him to frolic about and get tired. The host is so kind and accommodating. We even get treats left behind for both of us. Highly recommend! Sadaf H.

55Had the best time today with my two dogs! They were completely exhausted by the end of our time. It’s so nice to have a safe place that I can keep my 4 month old puppy off leash to practice his recall. Will definitely be back again! Thank you 🥰Julie H.

55Always a great pleasure visiting a mini forest.
Grace and her husband were such a big help when I went to leave. My truck battery had died. They were so very helpful and I am greatly thankful for their help. Have a blessed new year Grace and hubby.

55We had a great time. The host was very nice and all the dogs had a blast. It's a nice property with lots to explore and space to run. The fencing was mostly very good, but if you have a small dog they could squeeze through the inner gate. We had no problems, but important for some to know. This *is* noted in the listing.Andrea S.

55My dogs really loved it here, and they were tired after running up and down all the hills. Nice forested areas and trails, and some flat areas with lots of seating around the cabins. There was also some fun foam equipment that I used with my dogs, similar to a hoop in agility.Susan G.

55This is hands down my most favorite sniff spot! What a beautiful property. It’s private, so many trails, a creek, and fully fenced. It’s reactive dog paradise. My 4 had an absolute blast and we have already booked our next visit! The owner was absolutely lovely and included small details like a cute sign to greet us, doggy and human treats, and toys to use at our disposal! Hailey H.

55We had an incredible time! Grace was so kind and welcoming. She met us upon arrival and gave us a quick break down of the property. We even had our own welcome sign and treats! It’s fully fenced and we didn’t have to park far at all to walk to the gate to begin which is a huge bonus when you have two dogs and a small child. The hike was gorgeous and the creek was a bonus. My pups were so happy and are still tired. Thank you for having us!Katherine S.

FAQ about our Arlington dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How can I find dog agility parks in Arlington?
There are 21 dog agility parks in the Arlington area. The most popular dog agility park is Hike up the mini forest. You can browse all of our dog agility parks here.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
