55A great place to bring your dogs. Very secure fencing, neat and tidy yard, that still has plenty of things for your dog to explore and navigate around. Heather was really flexible when I asked to stay longer. Would definitely recommend!

55This was our first time using Sniffspot and it couldn’t have been any better. Heather is great and she had made sure there was cold water and plenty of toys for the doggo, and even bug spray for the hoomans. The yard itself is perfect and has enough shade for those hot humid days. The pictures tell you that the yard is big but you will only really see it’s true size once you get there. it is HUGE! Our dog had a great time sniffing and running around and there were chairs and a hammock for us hoomans! If you are in DMV, Heather’s yard is a must see! Thank you Heather for the hoapitality. We will be back for sure! Arber K.

55SO much space to run and sniff! We loved this yard and had a great visit. The fire pit area was the perfect place for the humans to hang and the pups had a blast exploring all of the different areas of the yard. Heather was a wonderful, kind, and very accommodating host — she even sent us home with an ice pack when my friend accidentally poked herself in the eye on our way out! Nora H.

55Heather’s yard is amaaazing! I drove from the northeast to DC and wanted to make sure my dogs got some sprinting in before getting into the city. They spent 90% of our visit sniffing and 10% sprinting, but were perfectly tired out by the end! Totally secure fencing, huge space, great communication from Heather! I can see why this SniffSpot has perfect reviews - 10/10 recommend!Amie F.

55My pup Peach and I had a great time visiting Heather's spot, the distance from the driveway to the gate is super short and the yard is completely enclosed by the fence so if you have a curious pup who gets easily distracted, this is well contained. There was water, the yard was super spacious with lots of areas for her to sniff and explore, and there was an assortment of rubber toys that Peach had a blast chasing after! The neighborhood street was relatively quiet when we were there on a Sunday morning and we had an awesome hour and I left with a tired, happy pup!Evelyn Z.

55Heather was very accommodating and her yard was amazing! She has a big fenced in space where she left out toys, a water bowl and poop bags. She also went the extra mile and left towels out so I could wipe off my pup after a day of play. Definitely recommend booking her spot!Marla W.

55Heathers space is fantastic! Tons of room for the pups to run. She left out some toys, water, doggy bags, and towels for their dirty paws. It’s super clean, easy to get to, and she is so kind. Our two big pups left tired and happy. Thanks so much for sharing your space! Stephanie M.

55The host had everything you needed to play and gave me the backyard was great!!! Lots of trees and things to sniff for curious dogs. There are several dogs in the surrounding yards that may bark but the fence is a full privacy fence so no issues with seeing other dogs or neighbors. Cayna S.

FAQ about our Fort Washington 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 Washington 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 319 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 53 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.
