55Great spot! Large yard with plenty of space to run around. It was a little muddy from the rain earlier in the week but that’s to be expected. Also, it does back up to an alley on two sides and there were people and dogs that walked by so I had to distract my reactive girl a couple of times, but there was plenty of space to redirect her.

55Loved this Sniffspot! Harper had an amazing first birthday party. The hosts were super communicative and accommodating. My human guests loved the trampoline and chairs/tables and the dogs loved the enormous yard. Thank you for having us! Lindsey K.

55Heather and Michael's yard was heaven for my dog Maddie and me. It is large and pretty and allowed me to throw a ball which she would retrieve indefinitely. I felt very welcomed by my hosts. I was a little confused finding the parking, but it makes sense once you have been there once. I am going to be a regular there!Crystal A.

55Lucy had an absolute blast! Heather and Michael's yard is exactly as pictured/described. A helpful parking sign let me know I was in the right place. They had thoughtfully left water out in a bowl and had lots of toys to play with and even a basket of goodies! Sunscreen, bug spray, and dog treats were such a nice bonus.
My dog Lucy is very reactive and she did get to barking a few times (sorry!!). Lucy could sense the dog two yards away and made her voice heard (neighbors yard is fully fenced and we couldn't see the dog). She also barked when a car parked in the alley- so if your dog is reactive they may react to these things too. These were minor and I was able to redirect Lucy and get her quiet very quickly.
The yard is huge and decorated very nicely- twinkle lights and lounge chairs just make for a nice vibe. Lucy had plenty of room to run zoomies and we got a nice game of fetch in. Thanks so much for having us! We will definitely return :) Colleen D.

FAQ about our Glenarden 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.
