55Had an absolutely wonderful morning at Sebastian's sniffspot! We have two senior rescue dogs who can't go to dog parks, so it was beautiful to be able to let them off-lead here. The fields are well-mowed, the forest is beautiful and we are so grateful to have a space like this. Thank you so much!Mert C.

55This was a truly special experience. :) My dogs (great dane and jack russell) had the time of their lives here! You enter through vast & lush farmland that is absolutely breathtaking. My jack was able to follow a well maintained path while my dane was more than happy to explore the tall grass and wild flowers. The field is then met by a stunning forest with tall trees, mud spots and a whole lot more to explore. The dogs really loved the shade since it was well above 30 degrees on the day we went. We crossed paths with a couple frogs and some geese on the trail, and despite the very warm weather we didn't see any ticks or mosquitos.
I didn't want to leave! This was simply paradise for both my dogs and myself.
And a one-of-a-kind bonus : Sebastian, the host. He is the most warm and inviting human ever. He met us right from the street and showed us the way around the farm and sniffspot. His team was harvesting garlic on the day we went and I got to take some freshly picked bulbs home with me. This was such a special experience. A fantastic gateway just a few minutes from Montreal that I am sure to revisit very soon!Josiane L.

55Beautiful spot with a warm welcome from Sebastien. My puppy absolutely loved exploring here! The grass in the wooded area is quite tall, which can make walking a bit difficult. I also recommend bringing water for your dog, as there isn't much shade. We'll definitely be back!Martine T.

55Sébastien was very welcoming like usual! They were very understanding with my reactive teenager dog that still needs to socialize with people and I am very grateful Addie had the chance to meet new people in a positive environment.
In top of this, Sebastian offered me to harvest some garlic flowers to bring home as they were harvesting them that day. What a beautiful outing both for me and my pooch 🐕💚✨Caroline C.

55We had so much fun!
If it is the first time, make sure to look up for a ‘fermes valhallas’ wood sign.
The spot is a mixture of open fields and forest! Nymeria, our dog, had an incredible time running, sniffing and playing. Snow was melting and it had rained a lot on previous days so there was a lot of water, yet everything was accessible but definitely recommend wearing rain boots (as Sebastian suggested us before our visit). We spent about 2h in the property and I think it’s a perfect window time! Enough to walk around and explore the forest!
Sebastian was super responsive and even helped us as we got a bit lost (we missed the number). He made accurate suggestion prior to our visit and met us at the entrance with his beautiful dog! They both kept their distance to say hi, so nothing to worry about when he comes and meet you!
We are definitely coming back! Can’t wait to see how this looks on spring and summer! Thank you, Sebastian! Laura H.

55Perfect place for our dog Addie! She really enjoyed the field, the path in the wood, all big rocks to climb on and the little stream as well. The diversity was really appreciated. Sebastian is very welcoming and communicative. We live in Montreal so we appreciated how short of a drive it was for us too! Totally recommend! Caroline C.

55This is my very first time using this app and what a terrific experience! Amazing Farm property with tons of open space for dogs to run free and play! I have a BIG dog and a small-medium one and they had a sensational time playing in all the snow and exploring. The host is a true gem as well. Such a kind young gentleman who greeted me early and showed me the way. I cannot compliment him and his property enough! We will definitely be revisiting and thank you for such a truly wonderful sunny winter weekend fun! Veronica B.

55Marley and I had a great time. The farm is very welcoming! Thank you Sebastian and crew for being so open and friendly with us. Marley is reactive and they knew exactly how to be around him.
Marley ran up and down the field and right before the forest we laid down in the field and Marley took in the shells, ate grasses and rolled around to his heart's content. We'll definitely be back! Marina S.
