55Beautiful, deep backyard with lots of running space. Offers a wonderful open area and a gently forested area in the back, all within fencing. My hound loved all the scents, and after getting her sniffs out, we played fetch until she could not keep her tongue in her mouth.Andrew R.

55Can’t recommend this sniff spot enough! The host is very easy to communicate with and was accommodating to my schedule. Both of my girls had a blast enjoying the yard and the pool! The host even decorated the yard for my girl’s birthday! Can’t wait to come back!! Tatiana B.

55This is an awesome place for your pup to enjoy the sunshine (and pool if they like it) plus some swim time for you! Tank wasn’t too sure of the water, but we definitely loved it and loved being able to let him run around. Thank you! Alex M.

55We had so much fun. We have been wanting to try this out since it listed. This was my dogs first time in a pool and she was a bit unsure. She loved running around the yard and doing rollies. We will definitely be back. Nikki White O.

55Shelly is a great host - kind, personable, cheerful, overflowing heart for dogs - and a big believer in dog rescue. Their farm is a perfect run for an hour for my two young coonhounds, breaking up a ten hour road trip in a way that ensure fun and the right kind of tired in the car.
Highly recommend. Mike K.

55Very friendly host. Lots of gated areas that are fully fenced in and slightly different. I have a reactive dog and it was great to let him burn energy stress free of other dogs and people. My other dog (hound) loved all the new areas to sniff. They both loved playing seek with us in the hay field (lay in the grass). We will definitely be coming back!!Amy M.

Chrissy's 0.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Chesapeake | Sniffspot
55Chrissy’s driveway has plenty of space to park out of the way. There are two options for entrance and the space is fully fenced with a chain link fence! On either side next to the neighbors, they have privacy fences so the dogs can’t see anything on either side which was perfect for our protective pup. You can hear hound dogs next door but they aren’t visible from the back yard (just when you pull in). Chrissy was so responsive and kind! We will be back! Madelyne R.

FAQ about our Newsoms 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Newsoms 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 162 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 4 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.
