55Great property, and nice trails! Emmy had a great time. A little muddy at this time of year, but that's to be expected. Cute little bench near the water, great place to catch the sunset! Looking forward to future visits here. 😁Kristina S.

55Lovely spacious grounds with winding trails cut through the woods. Understandably wet and muddy in spots in spring. When you arrive at their address you need to drive straight through the gate past various pieces of equipment to a parking area. I'm sure they'll be putting direction signs up for everyone shortly. We will definitely return! Sheila S.

55Excellent spot! Loved the trails in the big field and my old boy (Boone) loved the agility tunnel. Extremely well fenced even our escape artist could not find a way out. Will be back!Craig M.

55We had a blast! The field is safe and well maintained. The shaded seating area is clean and welcoming. Heather had water and toys for dogs, and a bowl of Halloween candies for human! Our dog had a great time running around and exploring. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back.Liana H.

55Rented the extra 8 acres for the first time today. The dogs loved it. Our one doesn't have great recall so it was nice to practice in a trail-like setting and let him truly stretch his legs while knowing he wasn't going to escape. Sarah B.

55Our visit to the main yard was great. My mini-Aussie poo pup Hank had a chance to play freely with his Portie friend Chewie. They had fun at the agility stations and chasing balls. The setup for non-fur friends is also great!Deb R.

55This was our first time, but not our last. Our big dogs ran so hard they couldn't actually last the hour! The set up was perfect. All the little details added up to an excellent adventure. Sarah L.

55I attended this location today with my clients for our group session. It was the best off leash location I have attended. The property is well taken care of, clean, fences well maintained, equipment for dogs clean and safe, and sitting areas were very nice too, even under cover if needed.
Heather met us in the laneway given this was our first visit and she was very personable and appears to enjoy that the dogs have a place to go and just be what they are, DOGS! Would and will definitely go there again! Owner of Maple Hill Canine Centre and Dog Owner Too! 😊👍Kathy S.

55First visit to the spot, easy to find where to go, my dog was sniffing everywhere by the end he was definitely tired. Outdoor toys available or bring your own. Wide open space to get your dog to full speed, would recommend for first timers who want a full visual of where their dog is throughout their visit. Lisa B.

55We brought our two dogs out for the first time and they had a blast. One of our dogs is a rescue who had very little socialization and is quite a nervous girl. She’s an active large breed pup so she really needs to run and burn off energy but busy dog parks are just too much for her right now. We were so thrilled to see her running and playing in a stress free environment! The space was clean and well kept and there are lots of balls and a “stick library” for the dogs to chase and play with. The yard was large enough for the dogs to play and run but also small enough to work on some recall training. (Once the pup gets better at that we’ll try the larger space for a trail walk). Overall a great experience and we’ll be back for sure! Thank you Heather!! Sandra F.

55The enclosed area is great for my dog to run free. She could have stayed longer judging by her unwillingness to leave:)
I would take our dog there as often as I can. The space is an oasis for dogs owners. Hope to go there over the winter and enjoy the snow with our pet. Thanks for having us!Stella K.

FAQ about our Carleton Place 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 Carleton Place area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 21 fully fenced dog parks in the area.

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.
