55Thank you so much! So grateful to Jenny for use of her yard. And she leaves fresh water out too. I may frequent this spot! Close to home, and I booked sameday. Exactly what a dog needs in a yard.....space to play and run. Be aware there is a dog training facility behind Jenny's yard, so potential dog interactions. As shown in pictures, back fence is chainlink and about 4 feet high (I think). My dog could easily clear that to chase something. If you have a bolter, be prepared and keep your leash handy. Great space and my dog thanks you. Odette J.

55This is the absolute most amazing dog yard. It is like dog heaven on earth. My pups had a BLAST. I will be back often and would highly recommend for anyone looking for a great private spot for their dogs to play. The owner is so kind…she left toys and water and a flirt pole and a BALL PIT (which we didn’t use this time because there was already so much excitement but definitely will next time). Thank you for letting us play in your yard!!! I am so grateful.Leanne R.

55What a great backyard spot for my dog to run around and burn off some energy!! Pugsley really enjoyed his time here, and I did too. The backyard was very well lit even in the evening, it was super clean and was a great size. We appreciated the toys and the parmour platform was fun for my puppy to build up confidence to go up! The host was very communicative by message and friendly. Thanks so much, I'm certain we'll be back!! 😊Anna Z.

55I have left a comment previously, but I need to add another one because this spot gets better and better every time I come here. This is by far the best Sniffspot I’ve been to. So many cool things for the pups to play with here. My dogs get so excited when we pull up outside now it’s insane. Leanne R.

55Third visit here and there's been additional toys and improvements to the yard made here every time! It was awesome from the start, so appreciate the owner just upgrading and thinking of all the fun for the dogs! Pugsley mistook the new ring around the platform as a race track to zoom around and around and around... haha 🐾 😃 Anna Z.

FAQ about our Kitchener 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 Kitchener 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 106 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 15 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.
