Description

**PLEASE READ** *Reliable recall recommended. *Although fully fenced, Cattle fencing can become compromised by fallen trees in wind storms. We do our best to ensure 100% security with weekly perimeter checks, however, Mother Nature sometimes has other plans. PLEASE REPORT ANY FALLEN TREES on the fencing immediately to Cathy (705) 506-0372 *Sniffspot is a US company and prices are in US dollars. *Please let us know how many cars to be expecting at your rental time by messaging us through the Sniffspot website. *No alcohol or drug use is permitted on the property. Looking for a peaceful place to play and explore with your pup on your own? Traveling to our area from out of town? Want to get a few of your friends, and your dog’s pals together in a private setting without running into others? Do you own a dog business and need a safe place to walk or train your dog clients? SafeK9’s fully fenced forested private park & trail is located on over 40 acres of land nestled between the two beautiful Georgian Bayside towns of Midland and Penetanguishene. Here your dog will get all the intriguing sniffs they desire! Regularly hiked by our SafeK9 daycare clientele, our private dog park & trail will keep your dog’s nose and mind busy. After all, mental stimulation is just as important as exercise for a happy and healthy dog! Hot day? Dog need a dip? They can splish, splash and meet the frogs in one of the 2 ponds located trailside. We believe every dog deserves their time to run and frolic without the restriction of a leash. We are blessed to be able to provide that opportunity to you and your dog to bond without the stress of running into other pooches and people. *Please drive slowly past the house on your drive into our Sniffspot. *Please don’t allow your dog(s) to run towards the back area of the house from the parking lot. Dog daycare is in session. *Please close the big sliding gate when arriving and leaving. *NO SMOKING of any kind is permitted ON THE PROPERTY *Please “stick’n flick” your dog’s poop off the main trails. Thanks! *Please wait for your scheduled time and for the guest ahead of you to leave before exiting your vehicle. *Please be respectful of the time, and leave promptly for the next guest. (The entire trail loop takes 45-60 mins depending on your walking pace). *Please be respectful and take any personal trash/garbage/recycling with you when you leave. *Don’t forget a towel!! Happy sniffin'!

    Are two water dogs had a great time, we could not get dog them out of the splash ponds, The path took us about 45 min walking a easy pace. Our reactive dog was asleep 10 minutes after we got home . We will be back .

    This is such a great place for dogs to explore safely! The entire area is fenced in and the trail is clearly marked. The pond are perfect for the dogs to swim. Took us about 40 minutes to complete the hike so we spent extra time in the ponds. It was perfect for my reactive dog Hank to get some enrichment in a safe place with no other dogs.

    An amazing trail for a hike! Our girls loved it. They ran through and investigated everything, and particularly loved the swims in the ponds. It was all fenced in; we were the only group on the trail; and it was a fabulous walk (for both the humans and dogs). We will be back again for sure!!!

    After such an awesome first visit with just one of my dogs I had to go back the next day with my whole pack. To see them run and explore and have fun being silly and get the zoomies made my day. And without worry of other dogs nearby is immeasurably valuable. Plus, having two puppies under 13 months old this is the perfect place to safely work on recall. Can’t wait for my next visit!

  • Heather K., May 26, 2023

    That was by far the most enjoyable walk I’ve had with Xander. From the moment I arrived and saw Cathy waiting near the gate to meet me I knew right away his safety was a top priority. I have never been able to let Xander walk off leash but now he has a safe place to run and explore without limitations. I have already been back and I will again very soon. I’m so thankful for this place. The grounds are clean, private and trail is so well marked. Definitely exceeded my expectations.

    Cathy is absolutely amazing to deal with. Very approachable and so willing to work with me. I can't say enough good things about this sniffspot. We are so lucky to have it!

  • Belinda N., May 19, 2023

    Another great visit to the sniffspot. Took a friend foe her first visit. She and her dog LOVED it. They will be back.

  • Michelle D., May 13, 2023

    Absolutely amazing! Was such a great feeling watching Murphy run free knowing we wouldn't have any run ins with other dogs! Thanks Cathy!

  • Olivia R., May 12, 2023

    Great place for a safe hike ! Our husky has great recall but turns into a toddler wanting to stay longer at the park when it’s time to leave, can be difficult to leash him back up at times. This trail gave us the security of having a fenced in area but the freedom of a forested trail ! Definitely bring bug spray and some towels ! The splash pong is a swampy but worked wonders to help keep the pup cool. 10/10 ! For any owners with reactive dogs wondering, the doggy day camp was far enough away that we could hear the big pups barking a bit but did not see any dogs and was only at the beginning of the trail where the parking was. Host was also very lovely, greeted us when we arrived and gave us clear direction.

    What a wonderful and safe place to let my pup roam, run, swim and play without having to worry about other dogs. Thank you for allowing access to this amazing property, we will be back!
