55Always great coming here. The smaller fenced in area is plenty of space for us.  There are a few occasional distractions from neighboring Gots, to a little dog barking , but it gives us good training moments. The fence is plenty high so even with distractions we’re not worried about her getting out. The Porta potty is really nice just in case,  thank you! Quinton B.

55Our dog had a wonderful time here. He loves to run, and, in this safe, spacious meadow he was able to explore freely. There was ample shade for him to rest in, with his people, when he got tired and hot from so much leaping and running. There was water for him to drink, and chairs for us. Note that the chairs aren't very clean, you might want to bring your own. But otherwise the space was clean and cared for. There was everything a dog would need to have a good time.Katlaina R.

55This was our first sniff spot visit. We loved it. Nicely fenced and open, great place to work with your dog off leash. Plus, we had a tired boy from running and playing somewhere different. We will come back.Janet H.

55This is an awesome spot, well maintained, no gaps in fence bottoms, dogs had a great time running the perimeter of the large space. Only issue I could see if my smaller dog attempting to squeeze through larger hog fence. Otherwise perfect ◡̈ Sela R.

55What an amazing place! My dog has fear based aggression so I can’t let her off leash anywhere. It was so great to see her Tun and play and know that it was safe. Thank you!Liz D.

55Our new favorite sniff spot! Lots of toys to choose from, room to run her heart out, and some nice shade to relax in as well. There were some animal noises and neighbors out but not close enough to elicit a response from my reactive dog. Sophie P.

FAQ about our Shawnigan Lake 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. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.

How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog park at the same time as me?
