55This was a lovely space! Great directions, easy to find, and we had a great time wandering. I did not bring water, but Kathy directed us to a small stream on the way out and my dog had a good time drinking and wading. We would go back!Ran C.

55First, this is a beautiful property. My dogs went crazy in the car when we pulled up and it was only their second time there. Kathy is thorough with her communication, and overall the experience is extremely easy thanks to all of the details already listed. I felt confident with what I needed to do. Thanks Kathy!Bailey C.

55Been here 3-4 times and we/dogs love it. They run run run, investigate, burn off alot of energy. There are bushes, trees, open space, a bridge, places for people to sit. It's mowed. Super secure fencing and gate. Very peaceful. We noticed some new signage that is helpful for people knowing where to park and the trail entrance. The trail to the sniffspot is longish and very natural although maintained and pleasant. Can be a little muddy. We so appreciate this space for our dogs- thank you!Katcha N.

55This sniffspot is so huge and my dogs loved it! We drove an hour to try this place and I’ll definitely do it again. I am also glad that I booked this sniffspot for 1.5 hours, because 1 hour would not be enough for my dogs to play, chase and sniff every square inch this place has to offer. And they still didn’t investige every part anyway so we need to come back soon! Definitely recommend to everyone.

55This is far and away the best Sniffspot in the area. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and every time I come back there are new additions and improvements that make it even better than before. This has been one of my dog’s favorite places since he was a puppy. So thankful for it!Erin M.

55This was our first visit here. Kathy met me when I pulled in. She walked us down the trail to the gate and gave a brief description of the property. Once inside my pooch Pepper and I spent a wonderous hour running, playing and decompressing. This place is a little slice of heaven on earth. Will be back.Carol T.

55I can’t say enough good things about this place. Clean, spacious, well maintained, clear instruction, perfect gate system, I can go on and on. Perfect for my pup to roam around! The host is just, perfect. So very nice to my over excited puppy, and helped with guiding us when I have a sprained ankle and is a bit awkward. Mengru D.

55We’ve been going to The Pond for couple of years and decided to check out The Acres, as it gets too cold for my golden that goes into to water regardless the temperature.
What a beautiful spot! So many bushes and trees to sniff, there are couple big pipes like a big tunnel for pups to go through, pile of tree stumps to climb up and other things to keep dogs entertained. There is also a rocking swing for humans but it was too cold for us to use it.
Oh and biggest upgrade- there is a port-a potty at the parking place. Such a thoughtful thing to add, especially for those that have a longer drive to get there. Now we have 2 absolutely favourite spots to return to!Donata P.

FAQ about our Holtwood dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs 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. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
How much do Sniffspot agility parks cost?
Dog agility parks in the Holtwood area range from $9.0 and $9.0. The least expensive dog agility park is Big Ole Yard. The most expensive dog agility park is Big Ole Yard. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
