***IMPORTANT: all prices listed are in USD and guests will be charged in USD*** Extra large, private backyard perfect for dogs and humans in downtown Kitchener! I have 2 large rescue dogs and know how important it can be to find a safe space for them to run and play in that's off leash. Lots of room for zoomies, toys and the agility structure is a hit with all the dogs. Reinforced lattice and bottoms of the fence so it's great for tiny dogs too! 100% private so there will be no other dogs in the backyard at the time of your visit; so perfect for reactive dogs to safely enjoy some zoomies and off-leash play! Reservations are always 100% Private; just you and your pup! You may hear my neighbours or neighborhood dogs, but once you're in the backyard, you won't see anyone :) Lot's of toys and activities for dogs including dog sprinkler and wading pool for hot days. Tons of comfy seating and huge deck with table for their humans to relax and watch them get their zoomies out! I volunteer and support a number of dog rescues and all proceeds from my Sniffspot are donated back to them!

Valerie's 70 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Wellesley

Unfenced

70 acres

IMPORTANT: all prices listed are in USD and guests will be charged in USD 70 acres of open farmland, woods and a creek. Your dog is about 1/4 km away from all other yards and buildings at all times. You may hear a dog bark in the distance depending on air quality, but it will be faint. You can take an easy hike along the field edge, or let your pet have the full experience of sniffing out coons, opossums, squirrels and many other things in the woods. The woods trail is steep and sloped for a portion of the way, and eventually joins the field edge trail. Neither trail is cleared of snow, but the woods trail mostly doesn't have a deep snow layer. Both trails give you access to the creek. Round trip to the back of the farm and back is 30-40 minutes at a good hike. In the summer, a beautiful rest camp is set up at the back for you to detox and enjoy the silence while your dog is in the water. A hose and/or small pool is provided at the front for your dog's rinse.

What people say about small dog parks around Kitchener, Ontario

Kristin Z.

April 2024

Great grassy backyard for running and playing. Easy parking, toys and fresh water. Perfect for training recall and hide and seek. THANK YOU. We will be back!

Odette J.

May 2024

Thank you so much! So grateful to Jenny for use of her yard. And she leaves fresh water out too. I may frequent this spot! Close to home, and I booked sameday. Exactly what a dog needs in a yard.....space to play and run. Be aware there is a dog training facility behind Jenny's yard, so potential dog interactions. As shown in pictures, back fence is chainlink and about 4 feet high (I think). My dog could easily clear that to chase something. If you have a bolter, be prepared and keep your leash handy. Great space and my dog thanks you.

Odette J.

May 2024

Gunna be a hot one today and this spot has lots of shade from mature trees. Plus hosts left out TWO bowls of water and checked if we needed more. Lots of things to sniff but my dog just likes to play, and although we bring our own toys, hosts provide plenty. Dog enjoyed himself and is now napping. Success!

Odette J.

June 2024

Another great visit. Very quiet for a Saturday. No other people or animals around today. Dog enjoyed himself. Did get quite a few mosquito bites. The hosts graciously put out spray, but I didn't use it, <sigh>.

Odette J.

June 2024

Great visit! Went early to beat the heat. Pup had a great time and is now napping, YAY! Plenty of water was provided, thanks to hosts. Never occurs to me to take pictures until I'm writing my reviews.....next time.

Kristin Z.

July 2024

Short notice visit. Always a pleasure to visit. The puppies had a good run. I chose this spot because the parking is so close to the gate and I’ve hurt my knee. I didn’t have to worry about walking too far before we played.

Diana O.

July 2024

Very easy entry parking right at the gate. Lots of space, trees, sitting area. Very quiet and private. Exactly as described. My pup just zoomed her little heart out!

Dana K.

Hugs space for dogs to get out their zoomies! Highly recommend this yard for a dog who likes to run!

Emmy N.

June 2024

My dog isn't friendly, and Nathan was incredibly understanding and accommodating. The space isn't huge, but it was perfect for my dog to stretch his legs and there were lots of varied areas for him to sniff and play. The space is very well enclosed and safe. Thank you so much!

Leanne R.

February 2024

This is the absolute most amazing dog yard. It is like dog heaven on earth. My pups had a BLAST. I will be back often and would highly recommend for anyone looking for a great private spot for their dogs to play. The owner is so kind…she left toys and water and a flirt pole and a BALL PIT (which we didn’t use this time because there was already so much excitement but definitely will next time). Thank you for letting us play in your yard!!! I am so grateful.

What a great backyard spot for my dog to run around and burn off some energy!! Pugsley really enjoyed his time here, and I did too. The backyard was very well lit even in the evening, it was super clean and was a great size. We appreciated the toys and the parmour platform was fun for my puppy to build up confidence to go up! The host was very communicative by message and friendly. Thanks so much, I'm certain we'll be back!! 😊

Doug F.

I have left a comment previously, but I need to add another one because this spot gets better and better every time I come here. This is by far the best Sniffspot I’ve been to. So many cool things for the pups to play with here. My dogs get so excited when we pull up outside now it’s insane.

We brought our girl, Bow, here for the second time and we had a blast! There were so many fun toys/enrichment provided, the platform was definitely a favourite!

Anna Z.

April 2024

Third visit here and there's been additional toys and improvements to the yard made here every time! It was awesome from the start, so appreciate the owner just upgrading and thinking of all the fun for the dogs! Pugsley mistook the new ring around the platform as a race track to zoom around and around and around... haha 🐾 😃

Kristin Z.

April 2024

We would give it TEN if we could. Our dogs loved the space to run, the new activities to try, and the fresh water. We loved introducing agility and the ball pit! THANK YOU. We will visit again.

FAQ about our Kitchener small dog parks

Are small 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 are much safer than public dog parks.

Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them.
