Description

Located in the heart of Brooklin, our lovely cottage-like backyard retreat is a peaceful space for both you and your pups to enjoy. Whether your dogs are on squirrel patrol, playing chase, fetching balls, digging, or simply lounging in the sun, they’re sure to have a blast. While the pups play, feel free to sit back and relax in our loungers or unwind in the shade under the gazebo. Looking to make it a true backyard getaway? Ask us about adding access to our swim spa while your dogs enjoy the yard.

WELCOME to our backyard paradise! 😍🐶 CLOSED FOR SEASON ❌ !!!!IMPORTANT!!!!! 🧍🏻🧍🏻‍♀️-HUMANS CAN SWIM TOO BUT IT’S AN ADDITIONAL FEE AND MUST BE BOOKED IN THE “EXTRA” SECTION WHEN BOOKING!! OR THERE WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE ON TOP OF ORIGINAL FEE OF $10 PER PERSON AN HOUR !!!!!!!!!!!! THE 35 CREDITS IS FOR FIRST DOG ONLY!!! Max 4 people on property! 🐶- Price is for 1 dog, every additional dog is 50% off! Welcome to Durham Regions only Sniffspot with in ground salt water pool, and fully fenced 1 acre grass yard! 6 ft high privacy fence allowing your dog to zoom around the whole 1 acre backyard! 🤩 We absolutely love dogs, having 5 rescue dogs of our own, we know how tough it can be to find a safe and secure property for them to run and enjoy themselves! So we created our own little backyard heaven for them and would love to share it with others ! Whether it be your dog needs lots of space to run, or prefers to take it slow and sniff around, maybe they are a bit shy or reactive to other dogs/people, our backyard is the perfect space for them to relax, feel safe and explore on their own terms! Lakes in Ontario are often full of high levels of 🦠 bacteria, which can be harmful to pets, don’t risk it, stay safe by bringing them to the pool ☺️ We do have 5 dogs, so you may hear some barking from inside, but there will be NO visible or personal contact from our dogs. Pool- if you would like to use the pool with your dog, we would be happy to have you come kick back and relax 😎 This is an additional fee per person per hour and must be booked in the “extra” section when booking in your dog(s) We will provide a towel and float for you! 🥰 4 people max, and for 2 hours max. (longer bookings can be accommodated please message to book) No children under 3 in the pool please. No alcohol permitted on the property. There is free street parking either on our street or the side street beside us ✨We don’t supply life jackets for dogs/humans.

So we appreciate every single one of you and by visiting us you help dogs in need! 🐶🥹❤️ IMPORTANT: all prices listed are in USD and guests will be charged in USD this is out of our hands, and is put in place by Sniffspot. They also take 22% off the top from us. We looked at a local kennel close to us with a pool, and seen they charge $20 for 20 minutes. So total it would be $60 for an hour. Plus there are lots of other dogs at the facility which doesn’t work well if you have a reactive dog. We on the other hand are 100% private just for you, and our prices are per hour not just 20 minutes. We wanted to price ourselves as fairly as we could to cover our cost, while still staying as cheap as we could for your pet! 🥰 Safety note- You are fully responsible and liable for your personal safety, your kids safety, and your dogs Safety while in the pool and/or on the property and by booking you acknowledged this and have agreed to this.

10 Acre Partially Fenced Private Dog Park In Courtice

Partially Fenced
5 acres

IMPORTANT: all prices listed are in USD and guests will be charged in USD *** during this time of year there is two gardeners that will be at the back near the bee hives occasionally throughout the week around mid day. If you are OK with this possibility of seeing two gardeners off of the main walking path, feel free to book whenever. If not, I recommend the booking in the morning or later in the evening. *** Text 905-242-4418 for any questions or other inquiries. 10 acre property, approximately 5 acres of dog friendly area. Path around the pond and into the back of the property where there is woods. The back of the property is less maintained and it is only recommended to go back there if you wish to explore and are sure to be safe with your dog on leash, just because the previous owners of the property left some car debris back there that may be harmful to dogs if they are not careful. We take our three Chihuahuas here all the time with no issues. We’ve taken them to the back as well, but usually just stay to the maintained area around the pond. People have heard coyotes and seen coyote trails on the property so if you have a small dog, it is recommended to be on leash just in case. Pond is great for dogs to swim, relatively clean water that our dogs and ourselves swim in. Pond also has an island in the middle, which makes for a cool place for dogs to swim to. Be sure to wash dogs after as there is poison ivy or oak on the island that could stick on dogs fur. Tree farm is not our property please stay off!
