55First visit to the spot, easy to find where to go, my dog was sniffing everywhere by the end he was definitely tired. Outdoor toys available or bring your own. Wide open space to get your dog to full speed, would recommend for first timers who want a full visual of where their dog is throughout their visit. Lisa B.

55We brought our two dogs out for the first time and they had a blast. One of our dogs is a rescue who had very little socialization and is quite a nervous girl. She’s an active large breed pup so she really needs to run and burn off energy but busy dog parks are just too much for her right now. We were so thrilled to see her running and playing in a stress free environment! The space was clean and well kept and there are lots of balls and a “stick library” for the dogs to chase and play with. The yard was large enough for the dogs to play and run but also small enough to work on some recall training. (Once the pup gets better at that we’ll try the larger space for a trail walk). Overall a great experience and we’ll be back for sure! Thank you Heather!! Sandra D.

55The enclosed area is great for my dog to run free. She could have stayed longer judging by her unwillingness to leave:)
I would take our dog there as often as I can. The space is an oasis for dogs owners. Hope to go there over the winter and enjoy the snow with our pet. Thanks for having us!Stella K.

55We had a great first experience with Where all dogs are farm dogs through sniffspot. The property was secure and clean and communication was excellent 👌 and welcoming. This is just what my pup and I need to run and roam safely close to home. Thank you for providing that safe space for us. Mandie B.

55Beautiful 8+ acre, fenced dog park with generously wide, well-groomed trails. Great for practicing recalls and just letting your dog run flat out. The 1.5 acre park is fully equipped with pool, toys, shaded seating, and a beautiful view of the woods. Scenic, peaceful, quiet and safe. Easy to schedule visits and Heather is responsive to all questions. Loved our visit, will be back.Toni S.

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. 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. 94% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Kanata area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 21 fully fenced dog parks in the area.

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.
