55My crew had a great time at LK's farm. Despite it being a wet, blustery kind of day, they thoroughly enjoyed all the sniffs and stretching their legs in the fields. I had been a bit worried before coming because the land is unfenced but it is such a big space that it was a non-issue. And shout out to Bridget's brother who rescued me with a tractor after I got stuck in some mud!Anne V.

55Had a great time, the dogs love it here so much. Bridget was super thoughtful to change parking to the yard for the day, due to the rain/mud, so that no one gets stuck. 10/10.Shona F.

55Great spot for our dogs to sniff and run! They all needed baths after but totally expect during this spring season.
Big huge fields and areas to bounce from one side to the other. What added to my plus were the cows, goats and chickens ❤️Steffanye R.

55Truly one of our favourite spots so far. There’s so much space and so many different terrain for dogs to explore. Bridget does a great job at communicating and anticipating needs (due to the rain she changed the location for parking). Everything is neatly marked.
Hopefully next time I can locate the pond! It was way too wet for me to head into the woods to find it. I can’t wait to go back. I was there for 2.5 ish hours and I could easily spend a whole day there and explore all sorts of nooks and crannies.Stephanie F.

55This spot was so beautiful! Totally worth the 30 minute drive to be able to let my dog off leash and explore. So much space to run and I loved the peace of mind that we wouldn’t run into another dog!Ashley K.

55This place is the lovelivest and I had a great time with my dog there. This place is so close to the city and perfect for dogs like mine that need to run and explore and play but are still working to build confidence with other dogs. My only regret is not visiting sooner. Laura G.

55Huge property for our pup to run around and explore! Host is very nice and has great communication. Seeing the cows from afar was a big plus (by the entrance, not located near the actual area). FYI, the host sells their own liver treats and our pup absolutely loves them.
Thanks again, we hope to visit soon! Kelly I.

FAQ about our Ottawa dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Ottawa area range from $12.0 and $12.0. The least expensive dog field is LK Farm private dog park in Metcalfe. The most expensive dog field is LK Farm private dog park in Metcalfe. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
