55What an amazing place! My dog was in heaven. Large field to run and train in, barns to explore, toys to play with and he had the place all to himself. Booking a second visit as I type this. There truly are not enough starts available to give this place. I would give it a thousand out of a thousand if I could.Susan S.

55Our FAVORITE spot. Lots of well maintained open space, great variety of toys, 2 spots for water breaks, plenty of shade for those exceptionally hot days. It has a peacefully quietness in the air with even a pair of eagle that often make an appearance.

55Beautiful quiet space for my reactive dog. Awesome spot to wear out my dog with the frisby or ball. Great directions to be clear about where to go/park. The shaded benches are a nice touch and it’s nice to have water available. Pony and I will be back, thanks Christy, Noah, and Cooper! Robyn C.

55Wonderful fenced in grass yard with ample distance for our dog and his best friend to get a good sprint while playing fetch. All the dog amenities we needed were available. Tennis balls, chuck-it, a bowl with fresh water, kiddie pool, nice shady spots to rest, poo bags and sanitizer were all there and ready to use. Good parking and benches with shady umbrella to sit and watch. Host even offered a beverage to cool off. Definitely going back again. Ivan S.

55What a wonderful SniffSpot, Christy!!! Just the right size property to run the pups and have a "cooler" evening summer playtime in a beautiful setting! Love the attention to detail! Love the chickens and can't wait until you set up your farmstand!! I will definitely be back! We can't wait to meet Cooper! Kourtney K.

55Great spot for fetch! Lots of shade and room to run.
Only downside is the fence did not contain my big dog once the neighbor's dog came sniffin around. Rylie M.

55We visit usually twice a week and love it. The host makes every attempt to create a safe, fun experience for your dog. Living here means rain...which can mean mud but the host has put wooden bridges with non-stick surface for crossing muddy or water areas (which my dogs ignored bit we appreciated haha!). Also put down hay to make crossing some small muddy areas easier. The little touches and the great area makes us regular visitors!Tracy N.

55As usual, a wonderful experience! I'm blown away by how much maintenance and care are performed on the field, fence and trails. There are some muddy areas, and I wore boots, but it was dramatically better than I expected. I cannot emphasize enough how much I appreciate being able to take my dogs (one who is deaf and has limited vision and the other can be people reactive) to such a large, fully fenced area where they can run, sniff, fetch and explore safely. Worth every penny. MARY A.

55We absolutely love this location!!! Best place to bring our rescue dog. He has quite a bit of anxiety from loud noises, which makes the location perfect for him. The area is out in the country away from loud noises - which makes it perfect. We love the open field, the trees and trail in the back. There is even has a water station for dogs!!! We’re able to walk our dog around unleashed and unbothered. Best place I’ve seen so far. Well worth the price. He’s already been twice this week!!! Looking forward to the next visit 😀Sola C.

55We have visited twice, and look forward to going again soon. There is both a large field, and a wooded area with trails. The trails are rugged but we'll marked and fun! There are trash cans, benches, lawn chairs, a water station... Really a fabulous place to bring the dogs. Thanks!Michael N.

55Awesome spot! My dog loved chasing her ball farther than I have ever had the space to throw it! And being able to let her run around on trails off leash in the woods was a rare treat. The field and woods were muddy (as stated in the description) but I didn't mind and my dog loved it. Barb did a great job at introducing us tp the property and pointing out the dryer areas of the field. I also really appreciated all the little bridges the she put up in muddy spots in the woods. Looking forward to our next visit!Adam O.

55It has been years since I've been able to enjoy a stress free off leash walk with my girl Prudence and that is exactly what Nature lovers, frisbee & chuck-it paradise provided! This is an ideal spot for fearful or reactive dogs. We did a warm up lap of the fully fenced field before heading into the wooded, fully fenced, trail system then back to the field for a cool down lap.
Barb was a lovely host, met us as soon as we pulled in and gave us a quick over view of the property, pointing out the best areas in the field for playing fetch, and the entrance to the trail system. Chuck it, water station, and poo station are provided by the host. The trail system is nicely marked with maps and flags though it is easy to go off the beaten path and find your way back.
There is a dog across the street that you can hear bark but you cannot see him. My reactive girl didn't have a problem with it until we tried walking the fence line along the street. She was easy to redirect but if you think it may be challenging for your dog to not engage in the fence barking I would avoid walking that section of the field.
There were 3 marked parking spaces for this sniffspot making it easy to meet up with others. I'm excited to make this a regular walk for my pups as it's only 7 minutes from my house. But even for my dog reactive clients in Bellingham it is well worth the adventure!Amber T.

55This sniffspot is huge and obviously well cared for by the host! We came after the week of nonstop rain, and were well prepared for it to be a bit wet (hiking boots, towels). Fun was had by all, and our pup loved the big field and running around the trails. Great place to practice training! Host was super quick to respond to messages and greeted us for our first visit. Absolutely worth the road trip and looking forward to visiting again (especially after some snow or in the summer!) The fencing around the field was well enforced and honestly the property is so large I didn’t see the plastic snow fencing on the sides of the woods but the host had walked it recently and seemed to often be checking it for any small rodent holes (reassuring to me as my dog is not reactive but is a bolter!) overall, loved this spot! A side note for any dogs that are noise reactive - there was a ‘shooting range’ in the distance that you could hear but my dog didn’t mind at all. Nikki T.

FAQ about our Qualicum Beach 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.
