55It’s a really nice property that’s well taken care of and my two huskies had such a fun time exploring everywhere. Fencing is great and is well maintained. I love that they had paths plowed throughout the entire area so I could walk around with my pups while they had fun in the snow. Looking forward to going back in the summer when the trail in the woods is accessible! Thank you!Cheri C.

55My dogs had so much fun at this Sniffspot! It's so quiet and peaceful. We spent most of our time in the extra fenced wooded area. It was magical on a nice winter day with fresh snow. The extra area feels much larger than a 1/2 acre - my dogs ran and ran through the paths in the forest.
Note that there are chickens that are separately fenced near the front of the house. They were a brief curiosity for my younger dog. It might be best to keep any real prey driven dogs further away from that area, which is easy to do.
Great spot with secure fencing, lots of privacy and a friendly host. I like that you can drive in and close the gate behind you, so leashes aren't even needed! My boys are now passed out. Thank you!Heather H.

55My dog and i had a blast! We loved the fenced in forest trails especially. It was the perfect area for my dog to run and have a sense of freedom without any real risk. There are some chickens off to the side which would definitely trigger a prey driven dog, but she put them in the coop and my dog didnt notice them at all. They were perfectly silent.. the entire property was fenced in and safe for my dog to run. Overall, was a great experience and would recommend it. :)Raven S.

55Such a beautiful, safe place. Everything was as advertised and it was so stress free! Highly recommended. Paths in woods was cleared, dogs loved running on the pathways.Angela L.

55What a lovely spot! Deep back yard for playing fetch and the whole area around the house is securely fenced so lots to explore. There is a separately fenced chicken coop off to one side which did excite my pup a bit. But it also provided a great opportunity to practice recall with a distraction! And Valeria offered to put the chickens in the coop if it got too much. It wasn’t necessary, but good to know that is an option. There is also a large wooded area with lots of paths and my dog ran and ran. Thank you Valeria for sharing your spot!Andrea B.

55Our dog had so much fun running through the trees and finding all the sticks. We mostly stayed in the back forested area which had a nice path perfect for zoomies! The walking path is also nice for humans. Highly recommend! Kathryn K.

55Our second visit to this sniffspot and we had a great time again. It was a nice warm winter day but I could hear the blustery wind. But the wooded area and the back yard were nicely sheltered from the wind. Thibbs ran and ran! He has been passed out on the couch all afternoon! Thank you!Andrea B.

55This place absolutely lives up to the name of refuge. I adopted my rescue dog less than a year ago, and though I have had access to sizeable urban backyards, this was another level. I had never seen my pup so happy to be free and with so much space to run. Unfortunately, my dog is dog reactive so dog parks are impossible, but the minute I left her off her leash, she was the happiest I've ever seen her. The area is a lovely property, well-kept, the fence is a great height, and Valentina is a great host (easy and quick to respond to questions). It is definitely worth the drive from Ottawa. Will come back soon! Laura G.

55We went straight to the section with the trails and my Emmy had such a great time! It is not a huge area of trails but big enough that there are several and you can't see from one end to the other. Fantastic property! We could hear some dogs in the distance but nothing close.
Valeria was very responsive to my questions, so thank you, Valeria!Kristina S.

55A really great spot! The trail in the woods utilizes the space really well with multiple short trails. It was a little muddy but that was due to the mild temperature and time of year. Recommended!Mike F.

55Such a sheltered spot among all the trees. I little wet, which is to be expected with the spring melt this time of year, but they had sawdust down and little wood bridges which were great! And of course our pup loved it. Plenty of space to run and explore.Andrea B.

55My puppy had the best time running through the trails here! Pretty sure he'll sleep like a rock tonight. Trails and yard are a bit wet with the spring thaw (to be expected!), but the host has spread sawdust in places to absorb some of the wet. Towels to dry off my pup were provided, which was really appreciated, as well as drinking water. It was puppy's first time seeing chickens and ducks, so a little extra socialization for the win. 🙂Stephanie J.

FAQ about our Canton 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. 98% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Canton 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 9 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.
