55Great open space for my dogs to run. Lots of smells to keep the dogs busy. You can hear dogs in the distance the odd visit but I’ve been to this spot multiple times without issue. My dogs are always tired after visiting Old Yellers and it gives me a few hours of peace and quiet afterwards. Rochelle V.

55Roscoe and I had a great time romping through the field and the wooded paths! He is a runner, so I kept him on a long leash while we investigated, but there is much potential for him to run free after we get to know this area more. Lovely place even in stick season, and there was even a bit of untouched snow that he got to roll in!!! Holly M.

55We had the BEST time today!! The snow and fresh tracks showed us that figure 8 loop of the property that goes up the hill and along the fence. We always used to just walk to the end of the field and back LOL. Thank you so much, Janice, for sharing your property. My boy is getting older and I really cherish days like today with him ☺️
For anyone coming out: It was about -6 to -8 degrees out there today. I wore a lighter jacket with snow pants and the snow pants seriously made a huge difference in keeping me warm and comfortable!
The complimentary dog treats were also much appreciated by my boy! Thank you!Josselyn M.

55A great place to take our puppy, though some caution and a decent recall are important. We saw a deer on the road part of the walk where it isn’t really fenced. Beautiful, definitely glad we had a long line 😊 a good sized section was also cleared of snow giving our girl’s paws a bit of a break. Brittany M.

55I've been coming to this spot for almost a year now. I find when I need a mental break from the city this is always my go to. My dogs are always excited when we pull up - there's plenty to sniff and lots of room to run. The retriever boy in particular protests when it comes time to leave.
It's also wonderful to see how the property started out to what it's become now - the owners have done a great job and I'm so grateful that a place like this is offered to us and our pets. Teagan N.

55Not only is the space huge and well kept, Janice is also an amazing host. She was extremely prompt and helpful when I ran into some billing issues. She was kind and a pleasure to deal with!
40 acres has been such a gift for us, as we have a big, sweet guardian breed who gets aggressive towards unfixed male dogs, but loves to play. We never thought we would be able to find such a big, affordable space to bring him to play with his frisbee and his friends so close to the city.
Thank you Janice for providing your space for so many dog owners! Pierce B.

55Hi- My husband brought one of our Aussie's to Old Yellers. He loved the experience, and sent me video evidence that our dog, Figgy, loved it as well. I can't wait for the ice to melt a little bit so that I can take both of my dogs for a walk there. Thank you, Janice, for making Old Yellers available :)Annie D.

55I love heading to this Sniffspot! I’ve been going here since my puppy turned into a reactive teen and it’s such a relaxing time to just walk and play fetch without worrying about other dogs. A significant amount of work has been put into clearing up the property and it’s greatly appreciated! Erica F.

FAQ about our Sherwood Park 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. 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. 94% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Sherwood Park area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 18 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 5 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
