55We really enjoyed our visit! The fence is very secure so you can rest easy while your dog runs off leash and plays in the pond. I also loved the benches around the pond so I could sit and enjoy the view for a bit. Highly recommend!Sara A.

55Our pups had the best time at the pond, they were able to run and romp in the water. We brought some toys for them to chase and fetch but there were also toys there for use! Kathy really thought of everything in this space - there are poop bag stations and trash cans, hand sanitizer, and benches and chairs! The fence was very secure. Our pups were able to explore all the way around the pond and were intrigued by the chickens and sheep nearby. It rained the day before our visit so the ground was a bit muddy, but we were fully expecting that and I think it made the dogs even happier! We can’t wait to come back! Emily D.

55We had so much fun! The fence was very secure, and made me feel very comfortable about having my dogs loose to play. Only one of my dogs likes to swim, but all 4 had an amazing time playing with toys and running laps around the pond. I would definitely love to be back someday!!Sarah M.

55We have been wanting a spot to take our rescue Sophie who is reactive to other dogs and this was perfect. She loved running and exploring (she is never off leash outside), and I loved not having to worry about running into any other dogs. Fence was high enough that I wasn't worried about her getting out. Plenty of room and she even took a couple of dips in the pond. We will be back often!Sandy K.

55What a beautiful spring late afternoon at The Pond. Cloudless blue sky, green grass, light wind, sun, sun, sun. A wonderfully clean and well maintained spot. Thoughtfully placed benches from which to watch the swallows and sparrows knife the air and skim across the gently rippling pond surface. And then! Two fishing eagles appeared soaring, then hovering, searching for fish. I saw one take torpedo form, drop down and impact the water, but no catch. It was a lovely peaceful hour for me and a great search, sniff and romp for my pup! It’s a long drive for us but worth the trip. We’ll be back soon! Thanks for sharing your lovely property with us.Janet H.

55My dogs had a wonderful time at this beautiful property. My only regret was that I didn’t book it for more than an hour. My pups loved it! There was plenty of room for the dogs to run and enjoy the pond as well as places for humans to sit and take in the scenery. Barbara F.

55The Pond is basically heaven on earth: a nice, large and secure 5 acres where your dog can run and swim his heart out. I hate to recommend it only because we want it all for ourselves. :) Kathy, the host, is friendly and helpful and so accomodating. Be prepared for a happy (but muddy!) pup after your visit. Baths are available on site if you inquire. Emily C.

FAQ about our Pylesville 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.
