55We had a great first experience with Where all dogs are farm dogs through sniffspot. The property was secure and clean and communication was excellent 👌 and welcoming. This is just what my pup and I need to run and roam safely close to home. Thank you for providing that safe space for us. Mandie B.

55Beautiful 8+ acre, fenced dog park with generously wide, well-groomed trails. Great for practicing recalls and just letting your dog run flat out. The 1.5 acre park is fully equipped with pool, toys, shaded seating, and a beautiful view of the woods. Scenic, peaceful, quiet and safe. Easy to schedule visits and Heather is responsive to all questions. Loved our visit, will be back.Toni S.

55Absolutely beautiful spot. The sun was rising over the cornfield, the dew was fresh. The fall leaves were vibrant. Clean, inviting, fenced, open space with great sniff spots, agility equipment, and a stick library! Heather was super hospitable, reaching out before hand with a welcome and instructions. Pumpkins and treats for the humans was a nice touch. My 2x pre-teenage sons appreciated them ;) And we have a happy tired pup.
We will back!!Michelle F.

FAQ about our Kanata 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 Kanata 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 21 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 5 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.
