55My pup and her best friend had the time of their lives playing and running around like crazy! Heather's property is well maintained and spacious with some fun obstacles, a water station, tall and short grass areas, a drinking bowl and a basket full of toys for the dogs to play with. There's also a cozy sitting area for the humans that was comfortable to hang out in while the girls ran wild. Overall an amazing experience that we will be repeating. Thank you Heather! :) Raven C.

55I booked 2 hours for 3 dogs 1 day ahead with no issues.
Cost was very reasonable and worth every penny once I saw this amazing space.
All the water, toys, pool and structures for agility training and plenty of space to roam and walk.
A shaded seating area for pets and their parents. I loved it and so did the dogs. 🐕🐶❤🐾 I will book again & highly recommend visitingCharrie M.

55As a first time user of this site we were a little skeptical about entering someone's property. However Heather's fully fenced backyard is dog paradise for our Kina. We arrived with cold water in a dog bowl as well as a kiddy pool. Grass is maintained well and plenty of space for our 11 month puppy to run, smell and lay in.
Definitely visiting again since it's about 30 minutes from downtown Ottawa and fairly close once you get off the highway. Adino G.

55This is a lovely spot for dogs and people! You can tell the host has spent a lot of time and effort into making this a fun and safe place for dogs! It was nice to see both my dogs run and play. Then we finished our visit with a nice decompression stroll on the walking trail. I would highly recommend this spot for any dog! I have two happy and tired dogs for the evening Deb D.

55Beautiful property with lots of space for the pups to play. Toys and drinking water were provided. The dogs enjoyed roaming the trails and dipping their feet in the pool. Having a reactive dog it is hard to find somewhere for my dog to run free without worry of running into dogs or people he is unfamiliar with. It seems we’ve finally found the right spot. This place is perfect! We will definitely be back. Thank you for providing a fantastic experience.Mandala M.

55Fantastic place. Had frisbees out, a bowl of water, comfy chairs and agility equipment. Fence was very secure, only thing is there is a medium sized gap next to the in-gate which smaller dogs might slip through. I loved how private it was and safe for my reactive dog. I’ll be back.Sage K.

55Excellent place! Our dog, Archie, had a great visit. He can be a bit lazy so it was great to have the agility pieces to make him think a bit more. There's tons of room to move around and a lot to sniff. We'll definitely be back again, and would love to check out the trails next time even! Kate S.

55Heather’s fully fenced-in space helped my nervous pup (and his owner) feel safe and confident practicing our recall skills. The agility structures were a great bonus.
Special thanks for leaving out lots of options for toys to play with as well as fresh water.
12/10 will sniff in this space again! Gemma C.

55This is a great place not to far out of the city. Very easy drive even in the winter. A beautiful neighbourhood, very clean and it was big enough for our energetic husky (Luna) to run around. But not too big to allow her to be too far from us. We loved the sitting areas and Luna loved the dog toys. I imagine the place to be even more beautiful in the summer.
The host is very nice, welcoming and responded to our messages right away. We will definitely visit this place on regular basis and try the trails in the spring/summer seasons. We recommend this place highly. Jemila H.

55Thank you so much for putting the running tracks - Luna was able to run around and enjoy her day with so much snow on the ground. She also enjoyed hoping in and out of the snow. She is now exhausted. We were also able to walk around the track got our daily exercise :-)Jemila H.

FAQ about our Gloucester dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility 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.
