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!

55Perfect spot for my crazy dog to get all of his zoomies out. :) He also had lots of toys to play with which was a pleasant surpise. We both loved it and will be returning sometime in the future.Raven S.

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!

55We love this space! It’s so quiet, and I love that we have a safe spot for our reactive doggo to run around, sniff, and be a dog! The Valentine’s Day photo op booth was such a surprise and SO CUTE.Emily N.

55We brought our two dogs out for the first time and they had a blast. One of our dogs is a rescue who had very little socialization and is quite a nervous girl. She’s an active large breed pup so she really needs to run and burn off energy but busy dog parks are just too much for her right now. We were so thrilled to see her running and playing in a stress free environment! The space was clean and well kept and there are lots of balls and a “stick library” for the dogs to chase and play with. The yard was large enough for the dogs to play and run but also small enough to work on some recall training. (Once the pup gets better at that we’ll try the larger space for a trail walk). Overall a great experience and we’ll be back for sure! Thank you Heather!! Sandra D.

55The enclosed area is great for my dog to run free. She could have stayed longer judging by her unwillingness to leave:)
I would take our dog there as often as I can. The space is an oasis for dogs owners. Hope to go there over the winter and enjoy the snow with our pet. Thanks for having us!Stella K.

55Rented the extra 8 acres for the first time today. The dogs loved it. Our one doesn't have great recall so it was nice to practice in a trail-like setting and let him truly stretch his legs while knowing he wasn't going to escape. Sarah B.

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?
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 Kanata 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 20 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 6 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.
