55I recently visited this space my furry girl, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this spot was designed with both dogs and their owners in mind. The signage made it easy to find, and the availability of poop bags and waste bins showed a thoughtful attention to detail.
But what truly sets this spot apart is the abundance of exploration opportunities for dogs and humans alike. With plenty of space to roam and discover, my dog was in heaven, and I enjoyed watching her sniff and explore to her heart's content.
We'll definitely be back soon!Lindsay L.

55Tons of space for the dogs to explore. Could have spent longer than an hour here for sure. Fallen branches for fetch and a chew were a hit. Would visit throughout the year. Thank youuTaylor A.

55We had a great experience at Bridget’s property. We enjoyed the walking trail and fields, and can’t wait to check out the pond in the summer! Everything is very far away from the road so not having a fence was not an issue. Samantha P.

55This is such a great spot! So much space for my pup to run, play fetch, and of course, smell all the smells! We started off in the first field to the right of the main trail, then walked the lovely main trail to the back fields for more exploring.
There's a garbage bin at the parking lot (and poop bags!) and another at the end of the main trail. Appreciated the signage with directions as well.
We will definitely be back, and we'll book a longer stay. This is a beautiful property, and Bridget is such a thoughtful host. Stephanie J.

55March 4th - Sun was shining so the ground is muddy. Lots of fields to run in without mud even if it was wet. Be sure to bring towels. This is a lovely spot for runners. Huge open fields mixed with some paths would make it fun to bring a chuck-it. My three dogs loved it. Out-house and fire pit were in a gorgeous spot. I do don’t even make it to the pond on this visit! We will be back. Linda S.

55So much space for running and playing. My pup had so much fun in the grass and pond. Bridget was super helpful in guiding us to where we were supposed to go. I did find a tick crawling on me afterwards so make sure to check yourself and your pup after! Overall definitely will be returning and recommending to other dog parents! Madeline W.

FAQ about our Ottawa dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Ottawa area range from $12.0 and $12.0. The least expensive dog field is LK Farm private dog park in Metcalfe. The most expensive dog field is LK Farm private dog park in Metcalfe. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
