We live in an apartment so my husband and I were so happy that there was a place nearby that our dog could run around to his hearts content. Thank you so much for opening up your home to us. Kayla A.

55What a gorgeous location! My dogs had a wonderful time but they didn’t want to leave because there were so many other things to explore on the property outside the gate. We will definitely be back!Susan G.

55Absolutely beautiful location. My guy loves to run, and this spot was PERFECT. I will say if you have a very tiny dog with escape tendencies, there are a couple of spots in the fence to be mindful of. Most small dogs will be fine. My guy is pretty small, and he was totally contained. We will definitely visit againMiranda G.

55Parking was easy to find and so was the spot itself. My puppy had so much fun running from one side of the field to the other. So much space and very well kept Taylor S.

55This was a beautiful field with plenty of room for our dogs to run, sniff, and roll around in. Plenty of shade and a relatively quiet street were great pluses.A. G.

55I was a tiny bit confused with the directions to the spot, but I think that was on me and not the host! (The street sign was on one side of the street, but the home was on the other...)
Once there, we had a blast. The area was fully fenced in, allowing my pups to run and explore safely. There were a couple areas where some pups might be able to scoot under the fencing, but it was not an issue for us.
The space was neat and clean and BIG. I cannot recommend it enough!Jessica L.

55My fur babies had an amazing time... They explored almost every inch of the ranch in 92-degrees temperature (wish the weather was better). One of my dogs is a rescue from an Amish puppy mill and is in desperate need of socialization. He barely wants to go out on most days, etc. The minute he entered ZPR, he was running everywhere and sniffing everything. I can see his personality coming out in the short time we were there. The property is beautiful. We will def be back. Dawn M.

55This place was great! Lots of contiguous space, and the fencing was consistent. Our 30 lb golden doodle got to zoom at full speed for quite a while and he left very tired, which is always the goal. Something that might be good to know is that the picnic table is just outside the enclosure, not inside, so if you're planning to eat a picnic meal, you'll need to leave your dog in the enclosure and eat separately. It wasn't a big deal for us, he was busy sniffing and we could see him the whole time, but it's just slightly different from what we were expecting. Regardless, it was a great experience and we will definitely be back! (maybe next time with a picnic blanket!)Meagan B.

FAQ about our Owings Mills dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
How can I find dog fields in Owings Mills?
There are 70 dog fields in the Owings Mills area. The most popular dog field is Zen Paw Ranch. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
