My dog fell in love with Catherine and so did I. She was early , which to me is always better than being late or not showing at all. Took my JJ for a nice long walk where he socialized with a beagle and lots of kids . Thank you Wag for hiring responsible and caring people Lisa G

Ashburton
While not technically in Bethesda, Cabin John Dog Park is too woof-derful to pass up. Located just 2.5 miles (or a six minute drive) from thriving Ashburton, this park offers amazing off-leash space and on-leash trails. First, let your dog work off some energy in the off-leash area. Walk, play fetch, or make use of the climbing area. Then head into the main park, Cabin John Regional Park, for four miles of hiking trails. Just watch out: your pup might have to share the road with a horse! Ashburton itself boasts a low population, but its great location makes it a snap to travel around the greater Bethesda area.

Alta Vista
This family friendly side of Bethesda has a lot of single family homes, and with them come single (and double, and triple) family dogs. Alta Vista hosts the parking area for the North Bethesda Trail. This former rail line has been converted into a walking and hiking trail. Previously a connecting corridor for rail lines, this trail is now a great park and an excellent place to stretch your legs. Leashed dogs are both permitted and encouraged. Rock Creek Trail is an alternative if you prefer four legs to trains. Rock Creek is a multi-use trail closer to Kensington than downtown Bethesda.

Bannockburn
Bannockburn is just a stone’s throw from two amazing parks: Glen Echo Park which is just across the border in Glen Echo, Maryland, and Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historic Park. Glen Echo Park is notable for both its expansive grounds and involved community. There are events scheduled there throughout the year for the community, and four-legged members are welcome! Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historic Park is a multi-use trail that follows a canal path offering beautiful views during your entire walk. Bannockburn offers great exercise opportunities for pups who prefer to stay on-leash and close to your side.12
Whitehall Manor
Whitehall Manor is snuggled up like a puppy in a warm blanket to Woodmont Triangle, but the neighborhoods have an important distinction. Whitehall Manor is home to residential houses and plenty of dogs. It’s also home to Mon Ami Gabi, where you can share lunch with your best friend on the patio. It’s blocks away from two B&Bs who love dogs as much as you do. It’s also close to Elm Street Park. Here, leashed dogs are welcome, and the park itself is great for taking laps or strolling. Whitehall Manor has the proximity to luxury your dog knows they deserve.
Woodmont Triangle
Woodmont Triangle is a downtown spot where Wisconsin Avenue and Old Georgetown Road intersect. It’s filled with eateries, boutique shops, and interesting sights. More importantly, however, these few blocks boast not one, not two, but three dog-friendly eateries within blocks of each other! Whether your dog has a taste for tacos or is more of a sushi-hound, Woodmont Triangle has restaurants that cater to both of you. California Tortilla, Hanaro Restaurant, and Mia’s Pizza offer dog-friendly outdoor seating and, in some cases, tasty treats for canine friends. These commercial blocks don’t have many residents, but the greater neighborhood is pupping up more and more.
