55Amazing! Trails are well marked and maintained just as the description says. The map was handy for our first visit and areas to avoid were also clearly marked. There is a road on one side but the trails were much more interesting to the dogs. The sun came out, and we had beautiful mostly snow-covered trails. Dogs and humans had a great time. I appreciated the garbage can so I didn’t have to drive home with 💩 🤣. Thanks to the host for sharing this property!Stephanie N.

55Such a beautiful piece of land. Lots of different terrain to explore. The dogs really enjoyed running around. We enjoyed not worrying about running into any other dogs, having one reactive dog. Bridgette G.

55Perfect spot to run, sniff and explore! My dogs and I loved it here. Trails were clean and well maintained with clear signage throughout. The map and garbage can were the perfect touch. We will definitely be back soon!Joyce S.

55We visited Martin’s Sniffspot for the first time on February 19 (Family Day weekend, and probably the last snowy weekend of this winter) and we all loved it, humans and dog alike! It was clear Martin put a lot of effort in making this a 5 star location with the maintained and marked trails on the huge and beautiful property, trail maps, and even a blog with all the latest updates. There were so many interesting smells for our dog to check out that it definitely put the “sniff” in Sniffspot! We appreciated the signs and caution tape for areas to avoid, as well as the garbage can at the front so we didn’t have to bring dog poop home in the car. Definitely looking forward to visiting again! Thanks Martin!YJ L.

55We had a great time! Martin is very friendly and accommodating, greeting us on arrival and providing a map of his well maintained trails. There was so much to explore and our dog is exhausted after all the sniffing and running around he got to do in a peaceful, safe space. Looking forward to future visits!Danielle L.

55Another wonderful visit! We love this spot. Great, well maintained trails, lots to sniff and explore, no sign of humans or dogs to set my girl off.
This should be expected in an Ontario spring but just in case it’s not: this is your reminder to wear something waterproof on your feet, as some areas are muddy and/or wet.Erin and Jason B.

55Our pups had an incredible time exploring Martin’s trails. The trails were easy to navigate, well marked and exactly what we expected based on the description provided. The views were beautiful and it felt very secluded and safe. We felt very comfortable having our 3 dogs off leash in this setting.
Martin was also kind enough to come greet us and answer any questions. Would absolutely recommend this spot to any guests looking for a great hike. Julia R.

55This is a lovely property with well-developed trails that are clearly marked, making it easy for the first time visitor (like me) to get around. This has been an unusually mild February, so the ground was wet and muddy in places, which is not problem if you're prepared for that.
The spot is absolutely fantastic right now. My dog enjoyed running and sniffing and just being a dog (so much so, I forgot to take pictures!) I'm looking forward to our next visit.Wendy M.

55This is an amazing property and we really enjoyed our walk today! The trails were lovely and our dog thoroughly enjoyed running around and sniffing. The paths were well maintained and were also well labeled!
Martin is a lovely host and greeted us with a smile! He reviewed the map with us and gave us some information about the current state of the trails.
As an owner of a reactive dog - it was the perfect place for our dog to run around and be free! It was a stress free walk for us, as we didn't have to worry about running into other people or off leash dogs!
We will definitely be back! Paige M.

55Great place with lots of trails. Very well organized too! All trails have names and are well labeled, you get a map upon arriving and there is a garbage at entrance (which many other parks don’t have) and the use of dog toys in a box before starting the trails. Had a great time with our two dogs, thank you! Zoe L.

FAQ about our Stratford 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 Stratford 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 140 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 12 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.
