55This was our first sniffspot we tried and we had a great time. The fence is secure and there is tons of room to run and play. My dog is very reactive to people and other dogs so it is important for me to make sure he won’t be interacting with his triggers. There is a tiny bit of stuff/junk in the yard but my dogs don’t bother with things so it wasn’t a problem for us. The one side is a wood fence so you can’t see their neighbours but the other side is chainlink so if the neighbours were out in their yard you would see them. Otherwise the yard is well kept and we had a great time! Thanks again! Emily B.

55We had such a wonderful time at this huge, clean, secure sniffspot! There is a wooden fence on one side and chain link fence on the other three sides. We saw no other humans or animals in the neighbouring yards during our time there (which is a win for those of us with reactive pups!). Sheila, the host, had thoughtfully left out some toys, treats, and a water bowl. She replied immediately to any questions I had as well. I would definitely love to be back here. :)
We could hear a dog barking in the distance. To be clear, this isn’t a problem for us at all! Our pup wasn’t bothered. I only mention it because some dogs that visit sniffspots may be reactive to hearing other dogs bark in the distance. Anusha S.

55Beautiful property, a perfect Sniffspot! Lots of room for the pups to run. Sheila left a bowl of water, dog toys and treats near the picnic bench which was a nice added bonus. Will definitely visit again. Kate B.

55This was a perfect spot, lots of space to run. I felt very secure letting our dog run freely off leash. The host was very responsive and was so kind to offer us an umbrella as it was a rainy day. Can't wait to go back on a sunny day!Karen E.

55This SniffSpot was absolutely amazing. So much area to run around in and have a good time.
Our Standard Poodle, Bernie, just loved it.
Great place to sit and relax while your dog runs and enjoys being free in a large, safe, enclosed space.
The fencing was more than adequate and we felt safe in knowing that Bernie could not escape.
We will definitely be stopping by again!Kathleen T.

55Amazing!
This was my first time ever going to a Sniffspot, and we’ve been missing out. Completely fenced in, private, and you can hear the cows singing! There was a picnic table with toys, treats, water. It was beyond my expectations.
This will be my go to from now on!
Note to first timers like me: GOOGLE THE ADDRESS. Look at the maps and what the house looks like. I totally disturbed the household and probably the neighbours and felt horrible. I walked into the backyard and started to second guess whether or not I was at the right place. I totally thought I was trespassing until I seen the picnic table at the back! 🤣 I’m so incredibly sorry Sheila!

55I just left this sniffspot and I couldn’t wait to comment on how much my pups loved it!
Lots of space for my dogs to run around and play fetch! It was clean and she provided treats for doggies! Unfortunately my dogs are sensitive to new treats but i love the thought!!
There are toys for dogs to play with and poop bags if you forget to bring bags!
Thank you! We had a great time and will be back in a couple days for sure!!!Jo M.

55My dogs had so much fun running around at Sheila's dog park. They're two young Shepherds who are very active and this really tired them out. They had the best time! Nice touches with the water, treats, toys and waste bags too. We'll be back for sure. Thank you! Jenna O.

55Huge fenced property. One dog spent the whole time chasing a ball. My big retriever loved exploring the back of the lot which was shady, with taller grass and small trees as he thinks he is a hunter. Will definitely be back. Water and toys available. Catherine R.

FAQ about our Old Toronto fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Old Toronto?
There are 275 fully fenced dog parks in the Old Toronto area. The most popular fully fenced park is . You can browse all of our fully fenced dog parks here.
How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
