55Such a lovely yard with so very many smells for my maniac. He ran around smelling everything, even their patio 🤣. The cold water was perfect for him and the yard was ideal for some tennis ball chasing. Two paws up from Seamus. Kimberly B.

55Nice big backyard and pups had a lovely time. We were a bit nervous about where to park as we couldn’t find the sniff spot sign so it might be a good idea to take a photo of where it is located, just to make it a little easier. Lovely place and would highly recommend. Thank youJules S.

55A great visit, as always. The doggos had a blast running around the expansive grassy yard, and then cooled down in the shade of the brick patio. It's one of our favorite spots for a good snifari, and we'll be back I'm sure!Jose O.

55Our favorite sniff spot in the area! Our 1 year old German Shepherd needs a lot of physical and mental exercise and Fertile Meadows gives him just that. He runs in and walks out a happy pup. Beautiful fenced in backyard with both shade and sun, plenty of water and toys, and bags if you forget. 11/10 experience! Lauralyn H.

55Awesome yard to run and sniff about! There's just enough foliage and things in the yard to act as running obstacles/extra good sniffs! And it's a great size/layout! Best part is there are almost no neighbors! Only things you could see were cars/bikes, which was great for my reactive girl. Perfect "clean up station" and lots of great toys!Victoria S.

FAQ About Gaithersburg 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. 3% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Gaithersburg 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 582 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 866 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
