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 was only our second time going to this sniffspot, but my dog made herself at home right from the get-go. She happily ran around the trails, and enjoyed getting herself muddy. Since I’m not so found of getting muddy, I appreciated the stepping stones in the muddiest parts😀. I now have a very happy, very tired (and dirty) dog, but n complaints here. Much more fun than walking the city streets. I also appreciate the owner’s blogspot, where they get us up to date on what they are doing to the trails.April T.

55We were visiting from out of province and this was the perfect spot for decompression walks. My dog especially loved the marsh and pond. As to be expected in early spring, there was mud in places, so waterproof footwear would be useful. We went twice because it was such a lovely place. Would definitely return. Rachael C.

55We had a great time visiting this Sniffspot. The area was nice and quiet, and the property was beautiful. There are plenty of different trails to go down. My dog absolutely loved it and we can't wait to come back. I would recommend wearing waterproof footwear as some places were fairly wet or muddy due to the season. Sam H.

55My new favourite spot! You can tell that the owner put so much effort into his property and it’s absolutely gorgeous. My dog had an amazing time splashing in the mud and water. We booked an hour time slot which was enough time to walk the majority of it, but next time I think I will book 2 hours. Definitely recommend! Thank you for letting us use your beautiful space!Allexia C.

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.

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.

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.

FAQ about our Brant 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Brant 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 158 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 27 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.
