Our St Bernadoodle LOVED the open space to sniff around and run his heart out. We started with a leashed walk around the property to check it out before letting him off leash to run. Well maintained area to practice some off leash walking and recalls! Will definitely be regulars to this spot.

Otis had so much fun roaming and sniffing around and zooming across the entire length. Very well maintained. It was nice to be able to just let him go without worry. Turns out his recall is pretty good too! 😁 🐶

This spot was perfect for my border collie to run around and catch his frisbee. It was clean, safe and beautiful. The host was kind enough to welcome me and show me the gate etc. We had a lovely time.

We love Laurie’s Sniffspot and have been here many times! This is a fabulous 2 acre field with different ‘zones’ for sniffing and exploring. The field is completed fenced and the fencing is extremely secure, which gives my dog a great chance to safely run off leash. The field has always been perfectly maintained - grass cut and very clean. This one is a gem - definitely recommend!

FAQ About Merlin 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.
