55It was very quiet and peaceful this morning. The place was clean and had various potty stations. My dogs ran, played with the various toys, and enjoyed all the smells. My Aussie accidentally cracked one of the tubes in the agility ring but the host was very nice about the situation. I’d highly recommend this spot for active dogs!Lorena H.

55This backyard was perfect for our active but shy puppy. There was a large rectangular grassy area for him to run around and play fetch. It was also nice that there was a patio with a table, chairs, and umbrella so that we could cool down in the shade if needed. Christina S.

55So nice and so clean, it’s a really huge area and the parking is very convenient. They don’t provide toys or water so just make sure if your pup is a toy chaser that you bring them their little toys. And for the humans don’t forget your bug spray! So great would deff come here againDiana A.

55Took my 1 year old Golden there for the first time and she had such a blast!! I don’t have a big yard and the park next to me requires her to be on a leash which can be frustrating for her. I was so happy to see Mia run free in this well-kept area. We truly loved it!Guisela C.

55We had another great visit here. The yard is safe and the fence is secure. Sooo many good sniffs for my dog! I have messaged with the host and he is kind and understanding. I did not see any neighbors today - canine or human. Awesome yard!Suzanne H.

FAQ about our Big Cove Tannery 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.

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.
