55Loved it! Took my three dogs and I felt really confident that they were safe and happy there. Thereโs outdoor furniture to relax on while the dogs explore, wide open spaces for the dogs, indoor couches for dogs and humans, water for the dogs, and access is straightforward. An hour flew by and my dogs are exhausted and content. Iโll be back! Helen P.

55Donnaโs sniff spot, named after her sweet dog Toscar, is such a great spot! Our dogs had the best time ever- zooming around without fear of other dogs and sniffed around the whole area! They were well puffed out, tails wagging and tongues out all the way home. Would definitely visit again. Donna is a lovely host, she also came around to see the boys and talk with us. 10/10 recommend. May K.

55This was bloody fantastic- my two super anxious mini schnauzers had an absolute blast! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, they were so excited and happy to have a space they could roam. We tossed toys, we ran with them, we encountered a lovely horse that was grazing in a nearby paddock. Itโs just such a great idea!
We will be back every weekend! Highly recommend it! There were some toys to toss, but you could bring your own too! Dave J.

55Very nice, our very small dog would fit through the fence so he stayed on the leash(he is very small) but the other dog loved it. The only drawback was, we were concerned we were letting the dogs out in the wrong area. Possibly could do with a small sign to show we were in the right place maybe. Connull L.

55We really enjoyed this beautiful private spot to let our dogs run free ...there was no stress as there can be when walking them..it is completely safe and secure here and we will be back! Only suggestion is (as someone else also mentioned) is to have an actual sign by the cattle stop saying "Kent's Dog park" Thank you.Have a video but cant upload it...Cathy C.

55Really well fenced place that offers everything you could hope for - running space with shorter grass - longer grass and rocks to explore. Dog toys and water bowl - and the little rain pond was full when we were there (ankle to knee deep ish). Top notch spot. The signage on the fence โThe Dog Farmโ makes it clear you are in the right spot. Sal W.

55Fantastic spot! Fully fenced so you can relax and let your dog run free. Different slopes and plantings for your dog to bound around. Depending on amount of rain but a great muddy water hole for the dogs to play in. Our Shepherd loved this part especially. Very well set up with dog toys and a hose so you can hose off you dog before exiting. Nicola C.

55I went to the park with Luna and my daughter and grand daughter. We all enjoyed being there. Clean water provided and there were some Dog Toys which was great because I had forgotten to take ours. Luna could smell and run and chase balls freely. She also ran up and down the fence line with two other dogs who were being walked by their owners which might not have been good for all dogs. I plan on returning in the near future.Trisha A.

55Such a great spot to visit and my two had so much fun! Especially loved the hilly terrain and exploring the long grass and bushes in the corner. We were even joined by two sweet Labs from up the road for a bit of extra fun too! Thanks for an awesome visit! Augusta G.

55This place is awesome!! It was so great to take the dogs somewhere that we could relax knowing other distractions/dogs were not going to be a factor for our slightly reactive dog. The dogs loved sniffing about and playing fetch and we enjoyed the peace and sunshine in a beautiful spotFran B.

FAQ about our Otane fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public 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 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 are 5 stars.
