55100% the best host , left out snacks and drinks for my kiddos , husband and I. So many toys for our doggo he was tired out 30 minutes in. Lots of mental stimulation and physical stimulation which helps with energetic dogs. We will absolutely be back. Lots of fresh and clean water for dogs, doggy pool, shade to sit in. The hosts sanitize all toys once your time is up which helps ease the mind. We really appreciate the host allowing us to check out the spot before booking. No judgment on breeds which is a plus for us. They also have a green bin just for dog poop! Ocean P.

55First time ever experience using sniffspot and booked with The Yard. Did they ever set the bar high! I seriously don’t want to bother trying any other place. It had EVERYTHING we could’ve imagined for our pup and ourselves to feel comfortable and happy. My family and I loved it and we’re planning on visiting again soon. Giulia D.

55Our dogs loved this space! Most of the time they were sniffing around due to it being their first visit but eventually they warmed up and began playing with the amazing toys offered. The zip line bungee toys were a hit! There’s a hose to fill a bowl with water, dog waste bags, treats available and a station to sanitize your hands.
This yard has everything you need for a great afternoon with your fur babies .
We especially liked the privacy aspect. We have a puppy (who is very big). He isn’t neutered yet due to his age and isn’t fully trained enough for us to feel comfortable taking him to a dog park with other dogs so this was a perfect alternative.
Definitely recommend! Host is also incredibly friendly and helpful!
Thanks so much, we will be back :)Bobbi S.

55Truly a must visit!
I have to bullies who love people but don’t prefer other dogs so it’s hard to find a place for them to get their energy out freely.
This yard is spacious enough for the pups to zoom while also providing activities for them such as hanging tug toys (a hit with my boy), kiddie pool, ramps and tubes,yoga balls, and a little ball pit.
There are chairs to sit while your pups play, a hand washing station, and a basket full of water, poop bags, treats,etc.
even my girl who doesn’t play much had so much fun.
The owners were SO sweet and knowledgeable.
I already have plans to come back! Madison A.

55Continuously my favourite place to bring my reactive pups. Very little to no people/other animals to trigger them. The hosts leave out ice cold water and snacks (not expected but SO sweet). All the toys keep my pups busy for the entire hour. Madison A.

55Perfect spot for any dog. As someone who has a very reactive bully breed...finding a place to play is like mission impossible..until we found out about bullybrothers! More toys then your dog knows what to do with! Slide, tug ropes that hang, big yoga balls and so much more... and honestly a pretty relaxing place for owners to hangout as well. 10/10 would recommend for any size dog or number of dogs!Connor A.

55It was an excellent opportunity for my dog to run free in a safe environment and also a great opportunity to practice her recall. I will definitely be using Sheila's sniff spot again and passing this space on to my friends.
If your dog reacts to other dogs when walking, this is a fantastic alternative.Barb G.

55Sheila’s spot is great! A bowl was provided for water, a stand with fetch and tug toys, and a nice table to sit at while the pups play. There are a few patches of longer grass, so this time of year just have to be careful of ticks, found one on one of the dogs, but no big deal they can pick those up anywhere. Melissa D.

55First time to this sniff spot. We enjoyed our time very much (golden retriever and Bernese mountain dog). Our dogs are “Covid” pups and can be dog selective so this place is excellent. Lots of room to run off leash and know they are fenced in and on their own. We recently put in a pool so dogs have little space to run at home (and no grass in backyard) so this spot is excellent. And it’s just a short drive from our home in Oshawa. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My only recommendation would be to have a trash bin to put the poop bags into. We brought the poop hole with us, but not ideal to bring in the car 😉. Angele J.

55First time trying Sniff Spot and it was a great experience! Sheila's place is easy to find and there is parking in driveway. Yard is peaceful + country feel and maintained nicely. Sheila also has supplies from treats + toys to bug spray & garbage bins. My dogs loved it especially my one dog who is never off-leash - he was running through the grass maze, tall grass and exploring through the woodsy area at the back of the property. Both dogs left tired and happy! Thanks Sheila for allowing us to utilize your property 😁 Kelly D.

FAQ about our Newfane 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Newfane 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 268 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 32 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.
Sniffspot has 268 fully fenced dog parks in or near Newfane. Browse all fully enclosed options.
