55Spectacular property with trails all over! Lots of shade in the forested areas, and water for your dog to cool off as well! It was easy to find and the host was very welcoming providing a map of the area! Would definitely go again!Sharon H.

55Great Sniffspot - my dog loves being here, and enjoys seeing the area change over the seasons. The host also has terrific communication, and lets us know about current conditions. That helps us prepare for appropriate footwear (for the humans), and whether to bring extra towels (for the dog)April T.

55My two dogs absolutely loved this property! All the intertwined trails were perfect! It was nicely shaded clean and maintained. The host greeted us on arrival and went above and beyond to make sure our first sniff spot adventure was enjoyable. Prepare for dirty dogs after with towels lol... would recommend this place in a heartbeat to burn some of your dogs energy! Theresa S.

55Martin's place was great, I just wish we got to see it all. My miniature dachshund has recently recovered from back surgery so we thought giving him all the space to himself would be fun, but the terrain was just a bit to rough for him. Would recommend this place to anyone that wants a leash free and worry free time though. Allistair S.

55This is a favourite of ours! Itโs consistently an amazing walk, trails to sniff and my water weary pup found her confidence in the swampy area splashing in the mud! ๐ The trails are incredibly maintained. The host is fabulous! Always checking in and updating on anything in or around the property to ensure that ever visit is 5 stars - there is even bug spray out in case you forget! ๐ฏ recommend!

55This was only our second time going to this sniffspot, but my dog made herself at home right from the get-go. She happily ran around the trails, and enjoyed getting herself muddy. Since Iโm not so found of getting muddy, I appreciated the stepping stones in the muddiest parts๐. I now have a very happy, very tired (and dirty) dog, but n complaints here. Much more fun than walking the city streets. I also appreciate the ownerโs blogspot, where they get us up to date on what they are doing to the trails.April T.

55We were visiting from out of province and this was the perfect spot for decompression walks. My dog especially loved the marsh and pond. As to be expected in early spring, there was mud in places, so waterproof footwear would be useful. We went twice because it was such a lovely place. Would definitely return. Rachael C.

55We had a great time visiting this Sniffspot. The area was nice and quiet, and the property was beautiful. There are plenty of different trails to go down. My dog absolutely loved it and we can't wait to come back. I would recommend wearing waterproof footwear as some places were fairly wet or muddy due to the season. Sam H.

55My new favourite spot! You can tell that the owner put so much effort into his property and itโs absolutely gorgeous. My dog had an amazing time splashing in the mud and water. We booked an hour time slot which was enough time to walk the majority of it, but next time I think I will book 2 hours. Definitely recommend! Thank you for letting us use your beautiful space!Allexia C.

55Had an amazing time at Martinโs sniffspot, you will love hearing the chorus of birds, and my dog had a blast exploring the many well-marked trails and playing in the creek. Bring waterproof shoes/boots as a few areas are a little muddy and you want to have the most fun while youโre here! This is a great, peaceful spot and your dog will have so much fun chasing squirrels and bunnies! Highly recommend! Natalie Z.

55Great spot with lots to explore! The host was also extremely considerate and has placed some concrete slabs around the areas that were muddier as an alternative to walk over. There are so many little areas that our pup enjoyed exploring and the trails bring a variety of exploration. Our dog is reactive and anxious and this place offers her the opportunity to explore nature stress free without worrying about her triggers! We will definitely be back!Jaquie D.

FAQ about our Brant 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Brant 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 163 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 31 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.
