55Had a great time! Will be back soon. Everything you could need is provided. We spent the first half playing fetch and the second half wandering around the wooded area. It was wonderful and my dogs had a great time. The dogs living on the property alerted at our arrival but were otherwise angelic and didn’t bother us at all. Thanks! See you again soon. Lauren V.

55Really cool spot! Barb is such an accommodating host and was very flexible with us. The property is awesome....a huge fully fenced wide open field and a woodsy area down at the far end. It was very easy to figure out where to go, although my Cooper did lead the way and the first time we ended up going into the muddy areas of the woods. If you want to avoid mud, my suggestion is to look for the entrance to the woods more on the right side. You'll know you've found it because you will come upon a bench and a couple coolers with supplies. Barb left drinks and a variety of beverages along with a whole bunch of other supplies....pretty much anything you will need during your visit. We drove a long way to visit and it was worth it! Thanks Barb! Really appreciate your hospitality!! ♥Susan D.

Trails are marked, but if you have a bad sense of direction it can be difficult find your way through the woods. Lots of fun,we will be returning.Michael S.

55K9Granny’sOff LeashFunSpot is just that: a beautiful spot in the county in which to run in the sun, chasing the birds (& the balls!) to your dogs’ delight! The acreage is lovely, and we can’t wait to return for another visit. No wonder it’s a “Top Spot”!

55Easy access and a good sized field. My girls loved it. There were animals grazing in the back field (separated by a fence) but an all-around quiet area.Georgia K.

55There used to just be cows on the adjoining property, now there are llamas. Those llamas do not back away from the fence and they will stare down a barking dog.Aly H.

55It was the first time for a friend and her dog and for me and my dog. The info on what to do/not do is clear and easy to follow. There is lots of room for dogs to run and explore, with mowed open areas, shade, and outbuildings. Along the south fence, you have fab views of Mt. Baker. We loved the place and will definitely return.Rae Ellen L.

55Great situation for my dog who is reactive-aggressive. At this sniffspot you are able to drive in, close the gate behind you and simply let your dog out of the car. There are ten acres of pasture in which to run, distant sounds of farm animals, and llamas in an adjacent pasture who never speak and are separated by an electric fence, which discourages investigation. The owner has a small dog who is rarely out in his own yard which is at the edge of the pasture and has not been a problem. At a distance from possible distractions is about a half acre, smaller fenced area with toys. I am unable to walk my pit bull in our neighborhood--the best I could do was to rig up a very long line that allows her to move around in a yard that is impossible to fence. This sniffspot is a paradise for her!Joanne P.

55Beautiful place. Everything was clean, easily marked and accessible and felt very comfortable just letting our dogs out off leash right from the car. All fences seemed intact. The dogs love being able to sniff around and explore the barn and we will certainly be back! john l.

55Out in the farmland north of Cordata. Clear signage and plenty of grassy running around area. Spacious and not a lot of "blind" spots where your dog can get hidden (like some of the larger Sniff Spots). No nearby livestock or domestic animals either! Nice to have a honey bucket too. Kendra W.

55Beatrice used to go here for barn hunt. We just recently learned of Sniffspot and were so happy to bring B back to this sweet little property. It’s been years but she remembered the place.
Highly recommend, very secure and clean!Maria S.

55Beautiful quiet space for my reactive dog. Awesome spot to wear out my dog with the frisby or ball. Great directions to be clear about where to go/park. The shaded benches are a nice touch and it’s nice to have water available. Pony and I will be back, thanks Christy, Noah, and Cooper! Robyn C.

55Wonderful fenced in grass yard with ample distance for our dog and his best friend to get a good sprint while playing fetch. All the dog amenities we needed were available. Tennis balls, chuck-it, a bowl with fresh water, kiddie pool, nice shady spots to rest, poo bags and sanitizer were all there and ready to use. Good parking and benches with shady umbrella to sit and watch. Host even offered a beverage to cool off. Definitely going back again. Ivan S.

FAQ about our Qualicum Beach 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.

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 11 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
