55Very nice private trail that leads to a large well maintained grass field that was perfect for playing fetch. The trail was a loop with the grass field in the middle.
My one dog was off leash nearly the entire time, with the bush on either side of the trail and surrounding the grass field acting as a fence, although my puppy stayed on a long line as she's not as trustworthy. Really nice place for an off leash walk and a game of fetch. Allie l.

55Very beautiful space with a very welcoming host.
My sister and I brought our two large dogs to Ireland Private Dog Farm and they had a blast. Lots of open space for them to wrestle and run. We walked around the trail and the dogs enjoyed a dip in the pond afterwards.
Alicia was a very welcoming host and was quick to answer a question I had.
We will definitely be returning!Leah M.

55Visited here today, my dogs had a great time. This was the first time visiting a "Sniff Spot" location. I have two large German shepherds and they are both very Reactive towards other dogs. Finding a private place with no other dogs or people is very important to us. Thank you for your hospitality 🐶💕Laura L.

55This is a great spot- lots of interesting paths and things to explore. Alicia left a water bowl out for us and gave nice clear instructions regarding where to park and we felt completely safe to let our dog off leash and explore freely. Jen P.

55Great spot, dogs love the pond. This should go without saying because its been a wet June, but come prepared for mosquitoes and flies. Their property is very well maintained and the fully fenced dog park is a great addition for anyone who has a runner. Thank you for having us!Liz D.

FAQ about our St. Jacobs 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. 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. 94% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the St. Jacobs area are 5 stars.
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 156 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 19 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
