Great spot! Tall, secure fencing and double gates at the entrance. Turf surface was not slippery, even with a covering of snow. I will definitely be using this spot again!

My pooch had a great time chasing balls and not get muddy. There was still clean snow on the turf and we had a lot of fun!

Paulette B.

This spot was very clean, easy to get to, great human seating and perfect for my small dogs. Also the spot is connected Paw by Paw training which has amazing dog treats and supplies!

Our dog Bandit had such a wonderful time here! The fence is extremely secure and the double gate feels nice and safe for our escape artist. We will definitely be back!

It was our first time in this place. My dogs loved it, even my chihuahua was so happy and playful as she never plays fetch. The place was clean and big. We felt like we were in a dog park but private…. Would gladly come back. Would definitely recommend it to any pet owners.

Had another great visit! This park is so clean and well maintained. Heads up if your dog is reactive, there was a training class going on in the parking lot and some people tried to bring their dog in to use the park. We will definitely be back!

Great facility. Friendly staff. Clean and well maintained. Water and bowl was provided via a spigot on the side of the building, inside the play area. There was a well stocked clean up and disposal station, too. Plenty of seating. I brought my own toys. I did not bring, or use, any mosquito repellent. There were a lot there at 6:30-7:30pm. I will definitely bring some next time. I feel that the price paid for an hour was worth it.

It's a good size for 1-2 dogs. Easy to access and clean with water and seats. The ground is a little uneven in some places but overall a nice space that I've used a few times already and will continue to book.

Great dog run, perfect for chuck it’s and fetch. I only had one dog but the space is definitely big enough to accommodate more. The staff at Paw by Paw were so kind and helpful. (You will have to walk your dog into the shop for your first visit and may briefly encounter another leashed dog in the area.) Huge bonus - the yard lighted and they have a couple of evening slots. Great for when daylight is limited! There is a water bowl and faucet for fresh water, poop bags and scoop, and a picnic table. They may have toys as well though I didn’t happen to see them, so probably best to bring your own.

Nice private area, our pups had a blast and we didn’t have to worry about them jumping the fence. We will definitely be back! :)

Phenomenal! The location is easy to find and has tons of parking. The dog area was clean and well maintained. There was water and a kiddie pool available--we can't wait for the warmer months to use this! There was ample seating for the humans. The space was wheelchair accessible, so my partner could join in the fun. There were other dogs and owners in the store, training area, and parking lot. We appreciated this opportunity to work with our dog in a safe space with multiple distractions. Overall, a great place for our dog to review her training, get exposure to seeing other dogs/humans, and just run around and enjoy the sun.

The space was perfect. Good floor surface and plenty of room to spread out. I have been looking for a place to practice agility with my dog and this is the perfect spot. We take group classes but if you don't practice in between classes is take a lot longer for both you and your dog to learn.

Got to use the agility training course for an hour with my dog!! He is so tired and accomplished our goal of stop target on the dog walk! Can’t wait to go again

Paulina L.

The staff were very responsive, friendly, and understanding! The outdoor space had a few agility items, which my dog and I enjoyed.

Tina S.

This is a wonderful space! The agility equipment is well maintained, the floors are non-slip, and the host was very pleasant. We’ll definitely be back!

This place is WONDERFUL. Best place to practice all your agility skills in a very quiet and large space. The location is fantastic, the workers are amazing and they have everything you'd need equipment wise.

Jenny K.

Great place to practice what you and your dog are learning in agility classes. You can hear other dogs barking and training going on in the background.

Lu & James K.

January 2025

Great location! Easy parking and friendly staff, thank you so so much for providing a place for the pups to explore in bad weather!

Great sniff spot! Thanks for letting us park inside the gate, makes parking easy and realized I can watch them sitting with the door open to shield from the weather :) Will be back!

March 2025

Such a great spot in a convenient location! I loved being able to park my car inside the gate, and my dog had a great time. The host also posted great instructional photos so it was easy to find!
