55We loved the field/forrest combo. We have a hard of hearing senior doggie. She enjoyed herself so much. She lost herself from us in the underbrush for a little bit but we felt so comfortable knowing the whole spot was fenced. She found her way back to us tired and tongue hanging out. Best day of her life next to hunting in the fields. The human kiddos enjoyed the many paths in the forrest. Host Barb really has outdone herself with this spot. Thank you for hosting us! Traci w.

55We had a BLAST at Barb’s place. Our pup had such a great time exploring the woods and running in the field. Barb is incredibly kind and welcoming, and everything is so well thought out, from the poop bags to the water and plenty of extra balls!Aline S.

55What a wonderful piece of property! Barb met us when we got there to let us know about the property. My little rescue girl won't walk in my neighborhood because she's afraid of children. With 20 acres to roam, she was able to explore and sniff without
any worries. She had such a good time as did I. Loved the experience and will definitely go out again!! Thank you for creating a safe place for our fur babies to enjoy!

55Barb was great! When we arrived she showed us around the property, which was extremely well-equipped. There were balls and frisbees if you forget yours, trash cans for poop bags, water for the dog, and drinks for us humans! The field is a great place to play fetch, and the woods/trails are a beautiful place for a nature walk. Koda loved all of the smells and things to get into :) we will definitely be returning on a regular basis to give him off leash time!Cassidy R.

Lots of spots in the woods with seating if you got tired, maps in case you got lost and plenty of doggy bags if you forgot to bring some. Not only that they provide water for your pup but humans as well! Everything was clean and well maintained, we will most definitely be booking here again!!Darcy J.

55We loved this space! What a treat for our dog! There were fun toys to take advantage of the enormous field. The trail through the woods is well-maintained and beautiful -- a mature, biodiverse forest. There were ample potty bags, a cooler full of cold water, several lovely spots to sit for a spell. Just wonderful. Thank you for having us!Sarah L.

55Wow! This is the most amazing and exciting sniffspot I've been to! It has everything, trails all over in the woods that connect back together. It has huge open fields for dogs to do zoomies in and little watering stations as well if your pup gets thirsty. I was just visiting up north and had to visit here when I found this place but I'd be visiting weekly if I lived closer! The property was very easy to find and park at and the owner gave us a quick tour. Everything is marked so you don't get lost and the entire property is fenced even though it doesn't feel like you're enclosed in a fenced area. My girl had sooo much fun and do did I! Thanks for sharing this beautiful property ❤Melissa C.

She had just fill the water jug she has out in the woods for the dogs and people to drink. There is a great covered picnic area in the field before you get to the woods. We will definitely go again.

Barb is such a wonderful host and the property is beautiful, with trails through the woods, a giant field to romp around in, and even a whole variety of balls and toys for them to play with. My two dogs and I had a fabulous time, and they were passed out cold in the car before we even made it home. We’ll definitely be back!Tess M.

55A dog's paradise!! A large very well kept field is just the place for dog's to run with abandon! It brought me much joy to watch them romp freely across the field from one side to the other before we entered the forest. Wow!! Well marked trails with a water station and benches to sit on along the way as you meander through the magestry of this incredible place!! Much thoughtful care went into creating an experience that from a dog's perception can't be beat!! I also experienced utter peace while the dogs explored the different niches and smells throughout the forest. This SniffSpot is one you will absolutely love!! We will be making it a regular treat! This experience will not only fill your heart and senses with joy and wonder, it will provide your dog the most marvelous opportunity of being carefree to be themselves and do what dog's love to do!!

55Another wonderful host and space! Lots of room to run, frolic, and play in the grassy field. Our favorite was the woods with a bunch of trails and a million things to sniff. The entrance to the woods is set up wonderfully with water for the pups, a bench to rest on, and a big trunk with drinks for people, bug spray, dog toys, etc. We will definitely be back and we highly recommend taking a good chunk of time to explore 😀!Mary Ann M.

FAQ about our Cowichan Bay fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?

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 are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
