55Another great visit - this time with a friend. All dogs enjoyed chasing balls and sniffing the whole spot. Everyone was exhausted when we left.
55Wow - what a relief to be in a spot where the dogs were free to roam without worrying about encountering other people/dogs, leash laws, goose poop… we all had an excellent hour of chilling out letting the dogs just be dogs.
55We spent a perfect hour here this afternoon! Lovely welcoming hosts, Clean, fully fenced giant space for the dogs. I’m for sure getting a sniff pass !!
55Such a great spot. Clean and my dogs love to zoom through the little forested path
55This is a wonderful property that has a great field for the dogs to run and play. There is even a little forested area in the back with a tiny trail. The host has been great about communicating details on how to use the property- it is a working farm so you can expect to see farm workers etc. The neighbouring property has a dog kennel, where we could hear them barking but never saw them. Loved this property to take our reactive dogs off leash for them to have a good run!
55The field was clean, flat, safe and fully fenced. There is a strand of barbed wire along the top of the 5ft fence but not an issue for normal play within the field. Dogs did bark from the kennel on the adjacent property as owner mentioned in the description but not a problem and well separated by two fences.
55My pups had a blast! It was so heartwarming to see them run full speed as long and as hard as they wanted. We will be back!
55Great location! The field was interesting to explore, there was a forested area and a larger, open field. We played some fun games of hide and seek with the ball, wandered around and explored and just sat back and relaxed. There are chairs for sitting and a beautiful view into the valley.
45My dog had an absolute blast. It’s the perfect spot for a dog who loves to sniff. A word of warning that it seems the back fence in the wooded section is still just barbed wire with big gaps that dogs can get through but there seems to be a second fence to keep them on the property but some extra explorative types like mine might get between the fences and you’ll have to lure them back in the wooded section. We will definitely be back!
15Could not access the rental field because owner’s barking dogs - 10 or 15 feet away - had my * can be* reactive dog absolutely peaking….

Description

****IMPORTANT: all prices listed are in USD and guests will be charged in USD so it is around 15 canadian*** This is a mostly open area farm field. Space includes a small wooded area within the fenced area. Bathroom available on site in the smaller barn. SMOKE FREE ZONE. Pick up after dogs, garbage bin provided. There are a few seniors visiting with mobility issues which is taken into consideration when there is poop left behind. You can always message me and let me know a general area and I can try to run out and pick it up between the next visit. There are some small gaps in the fence, so this is a great spot for large and medium sized dogs. Not a spot recommended for small dogs or severely reactive. Please keep dogs leashed until it is your time slot and are in the designated area and keep in mind you may pass another dog owner with their dog on a leash leaving or entering the spot. IF YOU CAN NOT CONTROL YOUR DOG ON A LEASH WHEN PASSING ANOTHER DOG PLEASE DO NOT BOOK THIS SPOT. Lots of seniors visit this spot and they may need some extra time to walk to their cars. For the most part spacing between guests has been good. Please read the essential rules the website has suggested in order to keep this a fun and safe place for dogs. Guests can be blocked from booking again if they do not respect the space or who are rude to me. Please check the spot descriptions for all details regarding animals on the property. Do not book after you read the description if you think it is not a proper fit for your dog. My phone number is 2509208914 and my dad's is 2508962860. Text or call if at anytime you need anything. This number is repeated in multiple places, including the welcome message. SPRING AND SUMMER ANNOUNCEMENTS *We will be adding a doggy splash pad and a kiddie pool with fresh water as an add on option. Thank you to all our visitors. It's been wonderful seeing so many happy dogs.

Additional rules

Not a recommended place for dogs with extreme aggression with the kennel next door. I would recommend reaching out to professional rehabilitation centers/facilities in Victoria for professional guidance. Smoke free area. Please be mindful this is a farm field not a sports field, so there will be some rocks, uneven ground. Remember when booking that this platform is in US dollars so I've tried to set the price to be around 14/15 dollars Canadian. You will see it listed at 11 dollars American. Two chairs provided for sitting but please ask if you would like more chairs to be placed out and if you require a small table on request. Garbage can provided please pick up after dogs as this is a kid friendly zone. PLEASE READ THE AUTOMATIC WELCOME MESSAGE THAT IS SENT WHEN YOU BOOK IT WILL INCLUDE ALL DETAILS ON ADDRESS and HOW TO WALK TO THE PARK ENTERANCE.

    Host replied: Yes, as I said on your other 1 star review, the spot details explain all the details about domesticated animals on the property. My home is not a place for owners who can not keep their dog under control until it reaches the field or if they can not control their dogs in the chances they pass a leashed dog leaving the field... or if they can not be controlled by friendly dogs behind a fence that is 10 to 15 feet away. I wish you luck on finding another location. For anyone who reads this... all of my reviews have so far been 5 stars except for this lady who failed to read spot details and has written two reviews with 1 star.
