55My dogs loved the open fields and the trails were so pretty with all the fallen leaves. There was a pond and thankfully I went prepared with a towel, and oh boy did I need it! My dogs had a blast, I got some lovely photos of the sunset with my dogs and everyone left a little more tired and happy. Sarah K.

55Great spot to hike your dog. Well groomed trails and clear signage. My dog can be reactive at times and this spot allowed for a calm, stress free walk with no unexpected guests. Well, the wild turkeys did say hi, but they were well behaved! Great communication with the owner. Thanks for having us! Sophia B.

55We had so much fun at LK Farms! Such a great place for dogs to run around and explore. Pond water is low and stinky, but my dog couldn't have cared less LOL. Nicely cleared trails through the fields and wooded area. Picked up some beef lung treats and a beef bone for the pup, which were huge hits. Also got a dozen farm fresh eggs for the humans. Delicious! Stephanie J.

55This is a great spot! It’s so quiet and private and so many areas for the little dog nose to be kept entertained. Trails through the forest are well cared for and super calming for the humans to enjoy too. Kara P.

55Our dog loved it! We were a bit nervous as we don’t typically have a chance to let her off leash. But she did great and had so much fun. We’ll be back! Kayla F.

55Wonderful spot! I’ve only visited twice but both times we’ve been greeted by Andrea and given the quick tour of the location which was clean and tidy! If you visited last year the trail is different this year, which was a nice surprise! We will definitely return! Tara J.

FAQ about our Ottawa dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends 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. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Ottawa area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is Finn Hill hood. The most expensive dog field is Finn Hill hood. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
