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.

We haven’t booked your location in a little bit and when we arrived, I can honestly say it was the most excited I’ve ever seen Piper since we started with Sniffspot! Cue the big goofy Golden Retriever grin all the way through our visit lol.

55We had a wonderful time at Sheila's SniffSpot!! I appreciated that there was a large bowl with fresh drinking water for dogs, especially on a hot day. The toys, picnic table and dog treats were an awesome bonus as well. The yard is fenced very well and my dog loved running through the trails made in the longer grass. We will definitely be back!

55This was my first time using Sniffspot and it won’t be the last. Finding myself living in Toronto with a highly reactive herding dog is sometimes so challenging, but I’m thankful to find another outlet for her boundless energy! Shiela’s property is lovely, spacious, safe (fenced) and well-maintained. We did bring our own toy, but there were several here to choose from, along with dog cookies and a big bowl of water. It was so nice to let the pup run freely (which she almost never gets to do) without wondering who was around. We can’t wait to come back!Laura E.

55This was our first time at a SniffSpot. It was such a great experience. My almost 1 year old pup got to run around and play with his 2 girlfriends. Tux has never been able to run free like this before. He had such a great time and so did his girls. I would highly recommend this spot. Very clean and beautiful this time of the year. I felt that all the dogs where safe and we didn’t have to worry about anything. I only have one recommendation is that there is more water bowls out and closer to the back. There was one big bowl when we first came in. We did bring our own water which worked out but they went through it quickly with running around so much. Tux, Winnie & Rosie will be back ❤️Carrie M.

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 Ajax 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Ajax 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 223 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 44 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 dog parks with agility equipment and/or dog obstacles in or near Ajax. The most popular agility option is Pupvacay - in the heart of Oshawa!.
