55Beautiful Sniffspot with great trails! We booked this as a last minute surprise for our dog’s birthday, and he loved sniffing and exploring in the woods, and running around in the wide open grassy areas. We didn’t get to check out the whole property because it was very hot that day, but we would definitely visit again if we’re back in the area. Thanks Susan!YJ L.

55This is our first time using Sniffspot. Me and my pup had a wonderful visit to Sheila's private dog park! The park offered a safe and clean environment. It was reassuring to see that water stations were readily available. The wide array of provided dog toys added an extra layer of fun. I'm thrilled to have found such a beautiful and enjoyable space for my dog! there's no doubt that I'll be returning for more adventures at Sheila's private dog park~Yan X.

55This was a great spot! It is a backyard, but the space is large enough to feel secluded.
Our dog had a great time running around and sniffing all the sniffs. There is quite a bit of tall grass, but that didn't stop her.
The picnic bench at the far end is a nice place for the humans to hang out while the dogs frolic. One hour might be a bit short, our dog didn't want to leave!
Highly recommend, and will definitely be back.Walter C.

FAQ about our Peterborough 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.
