55Apple enjoyed romping around in the yard, chasing her ball, and retrieving her flying duck. The yard was clean, plenty of shade, and, in spite of the recent rain, barely muddy. We will definitely be back!Julie and Pruitt A.

55This was our first experience with Sniffspot, and I am SOLD. My dog and I had a great time throwing/chasing balls (that we brought), and he just loved wandering around and sniffing all the new scents. The yard and fence felt very secure, and there weren't many things for him to get into trouble with. There was adequate space to have a good game of fetch. It was plenty muddy because of the wet weather we've had. My only complaint is that I wish I'd worn different shoes. But really, that's on ME! We had a great time, and my boy honestly didn't want to get in the car when it was time to go.Libby W.

55GREAT Visit and GREAT Yard! Booked our visit the day before and had very quick responses from Cierra. Our dog was so overwhelmed by how big the yard was and all the interesting smells that we were practically invisible to him for the first 10 minutes. Fully fenced and no neighbor dogs it appeared either. Will NOT hesitate to book this spot again for future "let's get our dog worn out" days.Brad B.

55This spot is great! My dog, sasha, had a great time sniffing and exploring off leash, it was well fenced, open, and a secure location. Cierra and her dog Max were very friendly towards us, and it made all the difference when the dogs played together. Stephen Z.

55We loved it here! So quiet and peaceful, and the yard was large and grassy for the dogs to run around and play. Plenty of space for chasing balls. Clean and well-kept with a nice fence all the way around. We hope to come back! Nikki E.

55There were some fruit trees in the backyard. It’s not an issue for our dog at all, but keep that in mind if your dog eats everything.
Something I appreciated were all the vantage points. I could see my dog at any point in the yard.Leslie D.

55Amazing Sniffspot! So quiet and peaceful! We didn’t see or hear a single dog (so great spot if you have a reactive pup) Plenty of space for running and fetching and lots of shade too! I was a little worried about all of the trees as my dog can get very easily distracted by squirrels but also not a squirrel in site! Will definitely be back! Adriana D.

We had been visiting another Sniffspot a little closer to home but honestly nothing compares to your big beautiful yard! Definitely worth the drive! Seriously perfect for fetching and allowing my dog to pick up some speed aka tire him out! Adriana D.

55Wide open space. Grass was cut and no dog poo. Just beware that almost dead center is a hole around a tree stump. I would recommend just use tying it on your initial walk around. There is shade as well. My first experience with snuff spot and I hope to be back. Jennifer M.

FAQ about our Fort Belvoir 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 Fort Belvoir 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 467 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 58 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.
