55Peaceful and a large area. The area does have pretty much nothing but tall grass - no issue for my dog - but if your dog doesnt like that it's something to consider. The horses milling about behind their fence was a source of delight for Gilly, who'd never seen one before. She ran along the fence following them as they trotted back to their barn. We also saw a deer!Matthew K.

55SO amazing! They have everything you need for your dog including water, treats, poop bags, and toys. It's beautiful there and having the horses come up to the fence was an added bonus. Love it!Leesa N.

55Sweetbay farm has a well kept fenced area that's great for running. I can see my pup from almost everywhere, except when he went to explore behind the building. The shady spots, chairs, toys and treats are lovely additions!!Gina M.

55Such a great spot for the pups to run around and have a blast! The agility equipment is great and my dogs were instantly interested. They loved getting wet in the little pool and then zooming around to dry off. Both boys were wiped after about 30 minutes of play. There's a nice shaded spot to sit and multiple containers for disposing of poop bags. Will definitely be back!Stephanie K.

FAQ about our Thurmont 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Thurmont 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 187 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 33 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.
