55We had a great time! The winter-groomed paths were perfect for Zoe to play fetch. The toy basket is much appreciated, and so was the Valentine's themed kissing booth! There are also lots little trees and shrubs for sniffing, and a lovely shelter and couch for the humans. Thank you so much Heather!Rachel B.

55Wonderful spot! Fully fenced, lots of room for the dogs to run, play and sniff. The snow was plowed along a trail so I was able to get some steps in too. Was so. Ice for my reactive and highly energetic dog to be able to run freely and get the exercise he needs! We’ll be back.Michelle C.

55Excellent place! Truly 1.5 fenced acres!
Toys are provided & there’s a variety of terrain to explore - low & high ground areas. 💩 bags & bin by the gate, stick library, table & chairs.
My dog absolutely loved it!
I felt welcome there. Loved its proximity to the house. You’re in the country but not isolated; it seems safe. There are some trees, but it’s largely open, which is better with a small dogMargaret Mary C.

55This was such a fun experience for my dog! This Sniffspot offers so many options for dog owners… with toys, an optional larger field, long lines, agility equipment and more. Plus it’s fully fenced! They really have it all. The owners have taken great care to create paths in the snow and Heather even warned me about their icy driveway. We will definitely be going back! Thank you Heather!

55This fully fenced property was an absolute dream for my huskies! It’s such a beautiful place and really well cared for. There is a covered seating area, paths to walk through, and brush for the pups who love to sniff and explore! The terrain reminded me of our home acreage in PEI and it was such a wonderful time being there despite the dreary weather. I wish I could take them everyday! I can’t wait to take my pups back!

FAQ about our Kanata 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?

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 73 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
