55The dogs had a great time running around and sniffing. Bailey chased her ball and loved the dog pool full of fresh water. Jasper loved sniffing everywhere and got the zoomies a few times. Very nice people. We will definitely be back!Ashley S.

55Lovely clean spacious area. My dog enjoyed playing fetch and doing laps around the little shed. It's more dirt than gravel with grass around the edges...easy on the paws!
There was a chair and water dish provided . Surrounded by the scent of pine! It was really enjoyable; we will be back. Dana B.

55Written instructions for where to park and how to access the spot were clear. The fenced area is quite secluded and surrounded by trees, and the fencing is nice and high and secure.
My dog enjoyed racing around, and it was a great spot to do some training and scent work.
I will bring a different toy next time, as her ball got covered in gravel as soon as it was damp from her saliva, so she ended up with a lot of gravel and grit in her mouth and consequently in her poop 🙃 I think a rope toy might work better for this surface. Also, watch for dog feces in the longer grass and fallen leaves in the area by the little shed - it looks like some users missed cleaning up after their dogs because it's quite hard to spot in that area.
The space is flat and equipped with a poop scoop, chair, and water bowl. Linda was welcoming and met me in the driveway and explained where everything was upon arrival. Heather R.

55Great space with private parking and easy access to the spot! The fenced yard is secure, flat, and well-maintained. Our dog enjoyed sniffing around the plants and pond and chasing her frisbee. Bonnie provided a water bowl and a garbage can for poop bags. There were also several places to sit.
While we were there, quite a few dogs were visible walking along the street nearby, so if your dog is very reactive to other dogs, this might not be the ideal spot for them. However, we found there was sufficient distance between the fenced area and the street that, while my dog took notice of the dogs passing by, it did not trigger her, so it provided a good opportunity to work on some desensitization training exercises with her.

Fully fenced well kept beautiful big yard. One of our dogs is a rescue who isn’t sure of other new dogs and this gives a perfect space for us to have her run around and play with our other dog getting her energy out! Our greyhound had a blast doing laps around the yard! Ashley S.

55We loved Bonnie’s place! Bonnie was very friendly and gave great directions to her place. My dog immediately found access to the pond (she loves any water) and we played fetch in Bonnie’s beautifully groomed yard. This was a great pit stop for the pup between Victoria & Port Alberni. Looking forward to visiting again!Valerie A.

FAQ about our Duncan 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. 92% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Duncan 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 40 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 7 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.
