55My pup really enjoyed the space! He got to sniff and explore a lot. Enjoyed the sunshine and the shady spots. The fence didn’t have any holes and there was water for him to drink. It was a great experience- thank you for letting us use your yard! Elizabeth G.

55Wonderful spot - clean and had everything we needed for a fun hour (even a huge and beautiful tree to provide shelter from the rain). Our pup had the best time fetching and sniffing and enjoying a safe, off leash space. Great to meet Jeanette and her adorable puppy too!Sandi F.

55This was a wonderful spot for my two little dogs to explore, chase the ball, and get some zoomies out. The yard is well maintained and pleasant to hang out in while the dogs run around.Keir C.

55This was a great back yard to give my dogs a little extra freedom. It is in walking distance for me, so it was great to have a 30 minute walk down, half an hour of play time, and a walk back. The fencing is good. The back yard is super nice and pleasant to hang out in. The owner was very nice too.Laura O.

55Wonderful spot that my pup LOVES going to. In fact, today he put on a little protest in the front yard not wanting to leave after our hour was up. The yard is clean, safe, and fully fenced in! Water is provided and there are some chairs for the human companions. There are some toys around for pups to play with. It is a great spot to give your doggo some outside off leash time! Elizabeth G.

55Jeannette was very accommodating and made sure I was familiar with all the amenities this spot had to offer. The space itself was lovely and very well managed. My dog had a great time and I will definitely be returning. Pippa C.

FAQ about our Courtenay small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Courtenay?
There are 6 small dog parks in the Courtenay area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
