55I have a high-maintenance dog who is Deaf and reactive, and we needed a long booking on short notice. Courtney was so kind and helpful with us, and her space was an absolute oasis when we needed it. I couldn't be more grateful.Emmy N.

55Such a gorgeous backyard with so so much activities for your dog! We had a great time, and I haven’t seen my dog so happy in a long time. It’s pretty tough to tire my dog out - but 30 minutes here had him pooped, it was awesome! Thank you so much for letting us visit, we can’t wait to come back!Kailey H.

55Incredible sniffspot! As someone who doesn’t have access to a fenced in backyard and has a rescue pup, this sniffspot was truly a pup’s (and my own) dream. It was a great space for safely introducing my bestfriend’s dog to my own! Thank you for sharing your space with us and we’ll definitely be back if you’ll have us :)Britt H.

55Another super fun visit for Pugsley! I think I said this last time but it's true again that there's new toys this visit again that Pugsley loved. Added bonus : we got to meet Courtney and her doggo Bruce. Pugsley had so much fun playing with Bruce, and Courtney was so nice and respectful of our time there! We asked for them to meet to give Pugsley some socialization time, and Courtney waited til we were ready for him to come out. Otherwise you have the place to yourself and don't even hear a peep from anybody (doggo or human). We loves Bruce and so did Pugsley!! Thanks again and see you again soon!Anna Z.

55Completely fenced by a wooden fence so there are no distractions for my reactive dog! So many things to engage my pups and keep them busy! A pool to cool off in and lots of afternoon (3pm) shade! My Frenchie girls had a blast for the whole hour!Bren B.

55This was my first time using sniffspot and I truly cannot say too many positive things about this space. The yard was clean and well maintained with a huge variety of toys and enrichment activities. My dogs are both reactive, so finding spaces where they can play without me having to be always "on" watching for triggers is so helpful. They made use of the ball pit, sand, kiddie pool, and many of the toys. It was especially nice to see my hound play off leash. She will run away if not contained so it was so freeing to watch her explore. It took some time for her to feel confident but the last few minutes of our booking she really came out of her shell. We will be back very soon!Morgan B.

55Such a great spot! We have 3 dogs and one is very active/runner, one is fairly active (chases balls), and one likes to stop to smell the roses every chance she gets. There was something for all 3 to do and they left exhausted! Definitely recommend. Tons of activities for all interests! Dianne E.

55My pup is high energy and needs to run everyday but it's been sooo hot/muggy these last few days, that I've kept him couped up. So we needed to get out and I wanted a sniffspot where he could run AND have shade AND water to cool down in and this spot did not disappoint. This place is amazing! The host provided so many options for us.
Magnus doesn't like rain or getting his paws wet, (jumps over puddles), so I didn't think he'd like the pool, but he LOVED it! He'll only stand, but kept going in and out.
The host provided the cutest sprinkler, (see picture), but was too much like rain for him, so we didn't use.
Lots of shade from trees, we were there at 2:30pm in 33° heat. Unfortunately, my pup doesn't know when, or how, to stop and has to be saved from himself, lol, so big thank you to this spot for giving him a safe outlet during hot days.Odette J.

The host was so communicative and had the dream set up for all dogs.
My one dog used the pool, toys, ball pit, agility, and my other dog had a lovely shaded bed and so many plants to sniff and space to wander!

FAQ about our Kitchener 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 Kitchener 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 140 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 18 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.
