55Wow! Our dog had a blast! He usually just sits in the grass and doesn't run or play. But here he played fetch and even met some horses! What a beautiful property and we will be back for sure! Thank you!Stacy L.

55This was our first sniff spot experience and we’ll definitely be back! Mary Grace just happened to be outside, greeted us and let us know what to do. There area is huge and our playful, energetic lab was tired after 30 minutes of running and sniffing. Nadji K.

55This is Addie and I's favorite Sniffspot by far. There really is so much room for Addie to run around and smell all of the smells. Usually Addie gets bored at other, smaller Sniffspots after 10 minutes of exploring, but here, Addie never stops exploring for the full hour, which is really impressive since she's 11.5 years old! The field is neatly kept and there isn't any junk lying around. I would definitely recommend wearing waterproof shoes though, as the field can be dewy and will soak your shoes after walking around for awhile. Excellent Sniffspot! 5 stars!Alyssa J.

55This is such a beautiful, wide, safe swath of land with lush grass for Moses to roam, run and we work on recalls too. Even with an injured leg, today Mary Grace came out with a toy (like a Squishy Face toy but better) and Moses had a blast with that. It was a perfect idea since he doesn’t really play fetch. We are so lucky to have it close by. Also Moses is reactive and besides horses distractions are next to none which gives him time to decompress, not be on alert. Kim J.

55We had a wonderful experience! We only used the biggest area (the field), and my pups absolutely loved it! Tons of room for them to sprint, play around, sniff, and just be dogs. MaryGrace had out buckets of water as well as a kiddie pool that my older dog took full advantage of as the morning humidity started kicking in. We'll definitely be back! Alyssa B.

55Marygrace’s place is so fantastic. Big, well fenced, really well taken care of fields. Toys, treats, water, poop bags, and more provided. The property is beautiful. Everything was perfect and our dog had a blast. Kate A.

55We had a great time this morning despite the midsummer MD heat in full swing. We explored the agility area which had some nice shade, and my dogs enjoyed figuring out the tunnel. This sniffspot is way better than any dog park we've found in the area!Alyssa B.

55Absolutely amazing! She had every single thing you could need. There was a welcome station, fire hydrants, a pool, water buckets, the hose, agility course and more. I highly highly recommend it. Thank you so much for giving me a place to bring my dogs. They had so much fun. Shelby D.

55Addie was sooo happy here! We only explored the big area, and Addie loved running around and seeing the horses next-door. There was a kiddie pool as well as some buckets filled with water for Addie to drink in the yard. Before entering the yard, there was a table with bug spray, hand sanitizer, a first aid kit, doggie poop bags, and some toys, which were all so thoughtful. We will definitely return!Alyssa J.

55My sister and I and our combined three dogs have started making this a regular excursion from DC. Our dogs love it so much, and it's nice to sit in the shade of the tall trees and watch them run and play. Thanks, Marygrace, for sharing your beautiful space!Sarah G.

55Our first time at this blissful spot. My dog Moses had a great time. He is a fearful and reactive and Marygrace was 100% understanding of that. We walked the perimeter on leash as suggested but also think it was good to do so he could take it all in before letting him off leash to do whatever the heck he wanted. YaY!!Kim J.

55Our second visit was great. My scaredy dog got to encounter 2 horses. bc he was barking at them (and shaking) and i know nothing about horses, like if they get mad, after a few minutes we put Moses on a leash and moved away. Luckily it was about time to go anyway. Kim J.

55Our greyhound Hawk loved it here. He had so much room to run, and lots of good smells in the nose garden. He was exhausted after 40 minutes. We are looking forward to our next visit. Christina G.

55It was our very first Sniffspot visit and it turned out to be wonderful and so worth driving to! It was easy to find, the instructions were clear. The fields are fenced, beautifully maintained, all thick grass no mud, and even a bench to sit! There was also a hose with water but we brought our own water. We only used one of the fields, not enough time to explore all of them! Lots of playing mixed with training and running full speed and relaxing and listening to silence. Our dog LOVED it! Thank you so much Marygrace for sharing your beautiful space with us!Oksana B.

FAQ about our Lothian 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.
