55Gorgeous spot, very well maintained and equipped with all sorts of fun things for dogs to do. Beautiful wildflowers and a maze of trails in the bigger field - lots to explore, practice recall or play hide-and-seek. The smaller (but not small!) yard has all sorts of fun stuff - agility obstacles, 2 pools and a sprinkler (a big hit with my dogs!), lots of toys and various interesting things to check out, plus a gazebo with very comfy chairs and a bug spray for humans. The fence looks new and very secure.
Thank you, Heather, for sharing your beautiful spot with us, we will definitely be back! Magda W.

55I am always a bit sceptical about bringing my nervous dog to new places, but I did not regret my choice to take her for a visit at Heather’s! What a beautifully kept, secure, clean, and huge space! My dog was right at ease immediately on arrival (a miracle if there ever was one), and played her heart out for the full hour. She even tested out some of the agility equipment available! The grounds are fantastic (did not do the upgrade, but did not need to!) and quiet, Heather was great to communicate with, and I will be back for sure :) Jordan A.

55Everything was great. Property was well-maintained with plenty of space for my three dogs to run around. I have a high-energy pup and he was so thrilled to have the freedom to run! Set-up was perfect and the dogs kept running to explore even though it was the hottest day of the year. I would love to visit again and take some time to work on recall. It is the perfect training spot. Thank you so much. Melissa M.

55Was just a wonderful experience! The grounds are pristine, inviting and had everything we needed. My brief encounter with the host was welcoming. Her smile put me at ease and she was kind enough to provide a water play pad experience for my pup who THOROUGHLY ENJOYED IT. The agility equipment was a bonus as well thank you! It was a pleasure to see him overcome his fears in real time👍🐕 Alanna T.

FAQ about our Kanata 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.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 16 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
