55Trails were wonderfully well kept during the winter. Wide and very easy to walk on. You can tell the owners take a lot of time and care to ensure a good experience for those using the trails. Virginia R.

55This was our first time visiting a sniff spot and we had a wonderful time!! The trails were beautiful and well groomed. My dog is reactive so it was nice to have the trails to ourselves and not have to worry about other dogs or people coming around the corner. Owner was super friendly and gave us a map and orientation to the property on arrival. Kaitlin B.

55What an amazing first visit. My dogs were so excited for all the different trails to explore and to be off leash the whole time was a bonus for them. I love the fact that the trails are well groomed. Was easy to walk. All trails are well marked and the map is easy to use. We will definitely be back. Sarah S.

55Beautiful day yet again, Cathy's place is the best. Love all the personal touches they've made to the place, gives my pup the ability to have offleash freedom without the stress of untrained dogs and questionable people. It's a beautiful place in the summer as well. Highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves the outdoors with their pups. Such an amazing area, thanks for the fun adventure for the pups 🐶 😀 Tina G.

55We had a great experience at the Sugar Bush! The driveway and parking are clearly marked. Since it was our first time visiting, Cathy met us when we arrived. She provided us with a clear map of the trails and suggested some routes. The trails were beautiful, private and well-treed. They open up to two great swimming spots, both had gradual/shallow slopes into the water (great for our dog, who is not the most agile!), and a bench for us to sit. Our dog had a great time, as did we! Charlotte M.

55Our three dogs loved the very well marked and maintained trails! They loved playing in the water, running in the field and sniffing through the forest. It was also nice not having to worry about other dogs while also working on recall. They all fell asleep on the car ride home. Will definitely be back again and likely book more time next time. Thank you again for having us!!Emma B.

FAQ about our Greater Sudbury 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.
