55This was our first sniffspot and it was absolutely stunning! Very well maintained, large fenced-in area for my dog to run around in - is exactly as advertised and more; highly recommend, we had so much fun and the host is super friendly. Diana P.

55We had another great visit! The grass in the big field was freshly mowed and my dog loved running and jumping over the grass. Fresh bowl of water, poop bags, two chairs, and a small table were all prepared. Great communication from Joe.
Just note that we did see a coyote at the beginning of our visit which did not appear again later. It tried to lure my dog to chase him towards the back fence, but when I noticed and went towards its direction it ran away and didn’t come back. Joe has let me know that coyotes are not common in the area and only show up once in a while. Maggie L.

55This place was absolutely perfect for me and my big boy Tyson! After booking, I was able to reach out to Joe and ask questions, which he answered promptly before our visit. Upon arrival, we were greeted by his sweet mom who then led us to the back area. This place was open, massive, and entirely fenced. My dog had the best time exploring the open field while doing some training with me. It was a hot day and it was really nice to have a shaded, sheltered spot for him to drink and relax also. Will be one of our go to spots for sure in the future! If your dog is into fetch, this is your place… chuckit launchers get ready! Racquel B.

55This was our first sniffspot experience, and we enjoyed it. Joe was very responsobe and helpful before I arrived, and his dad was very friendly and showed me how to get around the property to the yard. There was a small dog pool and a water bowl, and a place to sit in the shade. Hope to visit again soon! Vania R.

55One of the cleanest and nicest sniffspots that we have been to! The fencing is fantastic and very well done for a large property. The owner greeted us when we arrived and also came out when we were leaving. They provided fresh water and poop bags. My dog Movado loved it and we will definitely be coming back!! My sister and her dog are also interested in coming. Highly recommend!!!Teresa B.

55This was our first time here and SniffSpot experience! It was great. Well-maintained, little wild critters here and there and is indeed fully and securely fenced. We were welcomed by George a very warm and welcoming host. Fresh clean water, poop bags and a shady area with Muskoka chairs to cool down for which we were very grateful :-) It's exactly as described. Lisa K.

55Great space! Super big, super clean. The gates have chicken wire at the bottom so dogs can’t crawl through (which I didn’t see in the photos).
We could see horses from one spot in a corner, but other than that no wildlife and they were at a pretty far distance. It’s out in the country so there’s no chance of other dogs/cars/people accidentally wandering by.
Brought a dog I was dogsitting, will definitely be back with my own pups :) Avery B.

55Had the most amazing time at Joe’s Sniffspot. Joe was extremely accommodating and adaptive with me and the booking. Met his wonderful father, George, upon arrival, who showed me to the backyard and was so great with my dog. The sniffspot is fully fenced including the gate, very safe and offers peace of mind. The views are outstanding. There is a doggy pool, hose, and fresh, clean water out. Also features a shady/covered area and chairs. Great to walk the field and play fetch. Very well groomed trails. Will definitely be back whenever I’m around the area. Thanks so much!Natalie Z.

55Wonderful spot to spend some time with your pup. Lots of areas to explore from water to sand to forest to field. Pathways are well taken care of and signage is clear. Vitaliy is an excellent host - he took the time to explain the property and you could really tell he loves pets. We'll be back!Scott J.

55My pup Siena and I, along with my partner and his dog Ten, loved this Sniffspot! Not only was the beautiful property well-marked and maintained, but Vitaly displayed a clear understanding of dog behaviour by standing back from the car and asking before approaching the dogs to greet them. I’ll definitely be using this Sniffspot again in the future, and recommending it to anyone interested in booking a Sniffspot for their dog.Bianca R.

FAQ about our Markdale 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Markdale 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 31 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 4 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.
