55❤️ it here
55Huge yard to run around, fully fenced, several water dishes, toys available to play, would definitely do again 😊
55First time to this sniff spot. We enjoyed our time very much (golden retriever and Bernese mountain dog). Our dogs are “Covid” pups and can be dog selective so this place is excellent. Lots of room to run off leash and know they are fenced in and on their own. We recently put in a pool so dogs have little space to run at home (and no grass in backyard) so this spot is excellent. And it’s just a short drive from our home in Oshawa. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My only recommendation would be to have a trash bin to put the poop bags into. We brought the poop hole with us, but not ideal to bring in the car 😉.
55This was my first time bringing my dog and he loved it! I was also his first time being off leash and being able to run! It was amazing to see and experience this with him! I will definitely be coming more often with him!
55Large beautiful yard.
55Sheila’s spot is great! A bowl was provided for water, a stand with fetch and tug toys, and a nice table to sit at while the pups play. There are a few patches of longer grass, so this time of year just have to be careful of ticks, found one on one of the dogs, but no big deal they can pick those up anywhere.
55We love it here !
55It was an excellent opportunity for my dog to run free in a safe environment and also a great opportunity to practice her recall. I will definitely be using Sheila's sniff spot again and passing this space on to my friends. If your dog reacts to other dogs when walking, this is a fantastic alternative.
55A wonderful spot to bring our Bernese/ Golden retriever mix Theo! The space was fully fenced and very clean. Thanks so much😊
55Lovely spot like always. Marvel loves to run here and enjoys all of the different scents to follow.

    Host replied: Thanks Melissa. As you mentioned unfortunately the ticks are everywhere most likely due to the mild winter.
