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.

55This was my first time bringing my dog and he loved it! I was also his first time being off leash and being able to run! It was amazing to see and experience this with him! I will definitely be coming more often with him!Carolyn v.

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.

55This was my first booking with Sniffspot and Sheila. The communication was fantastic, and everything was as pictured/described. I have a rescue German shepherd who’s reactive, so it was a pleasure to take him where he could run free and play ball. The grass was nicely cut, a large clean water bowl was placed by the toy area for convenience, and lots of toys provided so I could leave mine at home. The fence was as described, and later in the day there is shade for resting, along with a picnic table to sit for the mom. I would highly recommend this location to anyone who requires a special safe place to take their dogs. Blue had a wonderful time and so did I. Thank You Sheila. 🙌🏻🙌🏻D J.

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 194 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
